17.5 Devoucoux Makila Harmonie 2A (2018) *Full Buffalo Leather*

Stunning Devoucoux Makila Harmonie monoflap dressage saddle with standard length/forward flaps in upgraded full buffalo leather. This saddle also features the Dynamick® saddle tree, which is a lighter composite tree that can flex with the horse’s back.

From the Devoucoux website: “Pushing the limits of proximity between the rider and horse, a major challenge accomplished using a slim design which ensures increased close contact:

• The narrow twist combined with ergonomic knee blocks ensures optimal engagement for the rider and improves leg alignment
• The perfect balance of freedom of movement and support for the rider
• The pre-formed flaps closely fit the horse’s morphology
• Unparalleled close contact and responsiveness to the rider’s commands
• The Dynamick® saddle tree combining lightness and flexibility for the horse’s back
• The flared form of padding spreads the rider’s weight more evenly while allowing the horse greater muscular freedom “
