Puro

The Cavallin Puro has a minimalistic seat/flap design, giving the rider freedom for seat and leg position. 

This model is an excellent choice for Endurance riders who must have a free and open seat, or people who value versatility and freedom of movement that knee blocks and thigh blocks might restrict.

It's extremely lightweight, weighing in under 10 pounds!

The Puro attracts horse owners who want a very light saddle with an open seat similar to a bareback pad- but want to ride longer, faster, or harder than a traditional bareback pad allows.

The girthing system for the Puro has been widened with a triangular attachment; two straps attached wide to the saddle's base, narrowing to an angled strap protector, which can be positioned up and down your horse's barrel to customize to the needs of the horse even for horse's with difficult conformation or motion.

It has a low, virtually unnoticeable profile under the rider's legs, which additionally improves stability in the open seat saddles.  

Test rides conducted in Poland proved that this created a closer contact with the horse, a very stable saddle with lots of scope for the rider.

Fitting the Puro showed it remained versatile to Draft horses, Arabians, and Warmbloods, and the new girthing system aided rider safety and security in the saddle, even without thigh blocks.

Rider Feedback: "This was our fastest ride ever! Main test horses felt so secure with his rider that he was faster and more athletic than he had ever been before. I felt secure and safe the whole time, even without thigh blocks, which I normally love!"

Puro Plus

The Cavallin Puro Plus maintains the same minimalistic seat/flap design as the Puro but with a slightly longer flap to include the added security of thigh blocks. 

It's an excellent choice for Endurance riders.

The Puro Plus attracts horse owners who want a very light saddle similar to a bareback pad- but want to ride longer, faster, or harder than a traditional bareback pad allows.

The girthing system for the Puro Plus has been widened with a triangular attachment; two straps attached wide to the saddle's base, narrowing to an angled strap protector, which can be positioned up and down your horse's barrel to customize to the needs of the horse even for horse's with difficult conformation or motion.

Buttera

Looking for a deep seat? Fabulous security? The Buttera is available as either a regular Ghost saddle or a Cavallin Bareback Pad. Note - the deep seat has a slightly smaller feel, so you may want to consider going up a seat size.

This model is popular for arena riding, trail and endurance. It is an excellent choice if you have a young or unpredictable horse and would prefer to stay put when your horse spooks. A western skirt and/or fenders can be added for saddle stability or to change saddle's look.

The blocks are attached inside a pocket under the knee-roll, and can be removed.

This saddle can be set up with either English or Western rigging.

This model can be ordered with a 4cm higher cantle, making it a Buttera Maxxi, which offers even more security than the standard Buttera. The Buttera Maxxi is priced at $1450 and looks like the saddle knights used for jousting!


Customer comment!
If you're not getting any younger (check) joints getting a bit creaky (check) or simply the owner of a very silly horse with an overdeveloped sense of humor (check, check, check) then this saddle is for you. It is the most secure saddle I have ever sat on, or rather in, as it embraces you like an armchair. If your beloved equine slams on the brakes because a stone has moved since the last time you rode this path - no problem. If he/she goes from 0-30 due to a pheasant ambush, again, no problem, you are held by the large pommel in front and the high cantle behind. I truly believe it to be the most secure saddle on the market today and am delighted to own one.
