do one thing differently,

or perhaps do everything differently, . .

There is so much unusual about the Strada, it is difficult to know where to begin.  I emailed David Bowler about less than two years ago and what began as a few questions, turned into a whirlwind of emails, phone calls and David's unrelenting insistence that I had to get on Skype.  I did and with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek, ordered an Esprit de Luneville Dressage saddle, basically telling myself, whatever it turned out to me, if it wasn't what I hoped it would be, I could always find a horse and rider that it would work on.  The saddle arrived and it took my breath away. 

Why?  Well, it is a rider's saddle.  By that I mean the kind of rider who can bareback, ride saddle seat, jump or go thirty miles in a day.  The Luneville is the antithesis of our modern deep Dressage saddle.  It comes in one seat size and amazingly, be the rider 6' 2" or 5' tall, it works.  It also comes in six different tree shapes--geometric to six different horse body types.  Each tree fixed in the pommel, yet flexible over the loin.  And then there are the panels, which shape themselves to the horse's back within one minute.  I invite you to explore David's website and pay particular attention to the pages discussing the technical details and the forum.  Strada Saddles (Click to go to David's site.)
