The equine brain is a remarkable organ weighing around 0.6 kg. or 0.1% of the horse's body weight. Despite its relatively small size, the brain is highly capable of processing information and adapting to new situations.

Horses exhibit strong abilities in four cognitive areas:

1. Memory: Horses have excellent 'photographic-like' memory, capable of remembering experiences, people, and places for extended periods.

2. Social Intelligence: Horses are adept at reading body language and emotions, both of other horses and humans.

3. Problem-solving: Horses can learn through trial and error and are particularly good at solving problems related to safety and finding food.

4. Learning: Horses learn quickly through repetition and rewards, associating actions with outcomes.

By understanding the unique aspects of equine cognition and brain function, we can work in harmony with the horse's natural learning abilities.

Had a lovely chat with Amanda Anderson (.us) showing her around Velicea saddlery workshop/factory and how the saddles are made. A demo custom saddle courtesy of is heading to hers soon 🤎watch this space, US folks!

Works of art ♥️ loving this colour so much! It is, however, a high maintenance colour to keep as this scrumtious caramel colour like so - it will turn darker in time with use and oiling (more reddish/havana like).

This design is a modified Liberty (dressage) customised with Iberian panels. Suitable for a horse that is rounder and wider over the back to create more stability. A perfect saddle for those dressage enthusiasts taking up Working Equitation.

NZ$5200 - gst and shipping included + full customisation and fitting
+ adjustable gullet width & channel
+ warranty and service works available in NZ (no need for return to Europe!)

Contact us for more details - your horse will appreciate that 😉

The problem with foam filled saddle panels: Check out the unevenness in this saddle’s panels, created by pressure and heat over a course of however many yrs of use - saddle was otherwise in a great condition and in current use, btw! 🥺

I believe the only way to rectify this is to replace panels fully, IF replaceable! Wool packed panels are easily re-flocked to avoid such unevenness and pressure points when they start to show up.

Of course, a brand new foam packed saddle will hold its shape and softness better for a while - much depends on type of foam, its use and upkeep - but for how long and what 2nd hand value will they carry, given the growing awareness of what is required for ?

What I have learnt from studies done by Centaur Biomechanics: wool fares best material to use with saddles panels - but, if you must: open cell foam fared better than closed cell foam panels in their study of saddle pressure.

Stay informed and talk to your local/trusted saddle fitter about what’s what inside your saddle, their recommendations and always ask ‘why’

All Velicea saddles are custom made. Which means you can also make some special requests, like in the case of this saddle to have a safe holder for the little hands that are learning or going on treks! ♥️

Spotted a few Velicea saddles at a riding school today whilst in my travels. This particular model is called OPAL. Seems to have fitted this Gypsy Vanner with a sway back quite well, but I couldn’t get him to lift his head out of the food bin for a second to get a better posture/position picture - classic cob! 😆😆 This trekking/riding school uses predominately cobs for confidence building ♥️

Equestrian Art Tradition like no other

…and why placement of saddle and anatomically friendly design is soo important to enable and allow that movement. Let’s face it, horses are not naturally designed to be ridden. We owe it to them to choose well fitting tack. The role of a saddle and the tree within is to distribute the weight of the rider on top evenly, per each cm2.
Neglecting certain aspects of saddle design and fit will always cause uneven pressure distribution - it is physics 101: pressure doesn’t disappear, it just gets reallocated/redistributed! ✍️ Daria
