Overview

The Pessoa Gen X Saddles are top-of-the-class performance saddles which are perfect for flatwork as well as jumping. Both the Savanna and Oakbark saddles include an easy gullet exchange tree which allows the rider to make changes to the saddle quickly. 

It’s as easy as changing the plate. Pessoa’s professional saddle line was created with durability in mind as well as the rider’s ability to control the horse .

Quality

The tree of the Pessoa Gen X Saddles are insured for 20 years. This is the kind of guarantee that speaks to the exceptional quality of the product. The zenith of the professional model is the Pessoa Gen X line.

The hidden stitching increases the durability of the saddle. Additionally, wrap-around shoulder panels cushion your horse while allowing you to maintain the proper distance for control.

Benefits and Features

As mentioned above, the easy change plates are a key selling feature of the Pessoa Gen X. Purchasers of this saddle brag about how easy the saddle adjustment is. The Savanna model of the Pessoa Gen X has deep seats, which contour the riders body and is made of the finest French and English leather in the world.

In order to accomplish high performance riding, you need to sit low and close to your horse. Additionally, the broken-in feel of the leather increases the comfortableness of the saddle without being too mushy or soft. You’ll be comfortable whill being able to stay in place.

Unlike many other saddles, the seat doesn’t get its broken-in feeling from being greasy – the result of excessive oiling that degrades the leather and reduces the lifetime of the product. Instead, the leather is hand curried to make it comfortable without the stick.

The detailing on many of Pessoa Gen X Saddles is exquisite. Hand leather tooling, stitching as well as copper and silver plating makes sure that you look as beautifully as you ride with this saddle.

No Drawbacks To Speak Of

The Pessoa Gen X Saddles are the work of perfectionist craftsmen. The Pessoa Gen X has a reputation for quality and durability. Essentially, everyone should be able to find a Pessoa Gen X that is right for them.

I can’t really say that there are any major drawbacks to this line. If you choose the saddle that best fits your needs, you won’t be disappointed. Choose wisely.
