Description from the seller
Here is an icon of modern riding: a Nelson Pessoa Paris, here in the 17.5-inch version, in excellent condition and dating from the 1990s. What is proposed is, in fact, a saddle specimen that the Brazilian show-jumping champion, father of the other Carioca ace Rodrigo, designed and produced in the 1990s, combining artisanal criteria, quality leathers and Olympic experience, within his factory dedicated to producing equipment for equestrian riders. Scarred by the sacred fire of competition but unwilling to give up comfort and aesthetics during competitions at any level as in the most demanding training sessions as well. All-around too. This saddle, moreover, promotes a safe and balanced position thanks to the deep seat designed to maintain high stability and adopt a correct posture. The knee rolls and thigh blocks also offer customized support aimed at preventing enthusiasts from being projected forward. It goes without saying, therefore, that this saddle contributes to increasing harmony with the horse, facilitates the so-called “subtle aids” and maximizes performance on courses between obstacles. The Pessoa Paris should be regarded, finally, as a saddle conceived from the horse’s perspective since it distributes pressure evenly on its back, reduces its effort and enhances the free movement typical of natural riding faithful to the teachings of Federico Caprilli.
