The new
Zaldi Escola-Golegã is the perfect fusion of the essence of Portuguese equestrian tradition with Zaldi's innovation, experience, and the exceptional craftsmanship of our master saddlers. The result is a saddle that delivers balance, elegance, and an outstanding connection from the very first ride.
Its soul and character are defined by its
new oversized external knee block, developed to provide greater stability and security while preserving complete freedom of movement. Its design encourages a natural riding position, featuring a deeper seat that creates an exceptional connection between horse and rider.
Built on a flexible, anatomically designed tree,
the Escola-Golegã brings the rider closer to the horse, offering outstanding seat security and balance while promoting precise, comfortable, and harmonious riding. When everything fits perfectly, the aids flow naturally and communication becomes pure harmony.
Each saddle is handcrafted using carefully selected premium European leather, including top-quality croupon and boxcalf leathers. These noble materials combine durability, softness, and timeless elegance, ensuring a saddle that maintains both its performance and beauty for years to come.
Designed with the anatomy of both horse and rider in mind, the Escola-Golegã features an ergonomic Portuguese dressage flap, a deep latex seat, wool flocked panels treated to repel water and sweat, and long V-billets.
Every detail is engineered to maximize rider comfort while allowing complete freedom of movement for the horse. Because every rider has their own style,
the Escola-Golegã can be fully customized with a wide range of leather colours, suede options, stitching, piping, and welts. The model shown combines elegant tan leather with beige suede, proving that tradition and exclusivity can exist in perfect harmony.
