A Pessoa Paris saddle, manufactured in 1990, located in Italy, in very good condition.
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. The one proposed is, in fact, an example of the saddle that the Brazilian show jumping champion—father of the other Carioca ace Rodrigo—designed and produced in the 1990s, combining artisanal craftsmanship, quality leathers, and Olympic experience within his factory dedicated to producing equipment for equestrians and riders. Scarred by the sacred fire of competition, yet unwilling to give up comfort and aesthetics during events at every level as during the toughest training sessions. Even in full gear. This saddle, moreover, promotes a secure and balanced position thanks to the deep seat designed to maintain a high level of stability and adopt a correct posture. The knee rolls and thigh blocks also provide customized support aimed at preventing enthusiasts from being pitched forward. It goes without saying, therefore, that this saddle contributes to increasing harmony with the horse, facilitating the so-called “subtle aids,” and maximizing performance on courses between obstacles. The Pessoa Paris should finally be regarded as a saddle conceived with the horse in mind, since it distributes pressure evenly across the horse’s back, reduces its strain, and enhances the free movement typical of natural riding faithful to the teachings of Federico Caprilli.
