Ideal saddles are a market leader in the manufacture of quality saddles. Ideal believe that the saddle is the connection between horse and rider and one of the most important elements of their partnership. Here at David Dyer Saddles we stock a large range of Ideal GP, jump and dressage saddles.
We do not hold full stock of these saddles so saddles may need to be ordered in.
Designed by David Dyer Saddles in collaboration with Ideal, the DJ Monoflap Pony GP Saddle was created specifically to give smaller riders a closer, more secure feel on broad ponies.
Wide pony saddles can inevitably create bulk beneath a little rider’s seat and leg, particularly with a traditional dual-flap construction. For children with shorter legs, this can make it harder to feel close to the pony and maintain a naturally balanced position. The DJ uses a monoflap design to significantly reduce that bulk, allowing the rider’s leg to sit closer to the pony for improved feel, communication and stability.
Built on Ideal’s WR12 open-head tree, the saddle has been designed with the broader, more defined-withered pony in mind – particularly the type of conformation often seen in Welsh Section A ponies.
The saddle is made in split bull leather, chosen for its beautifully soft, grippy feel while still offering the durability needed from a hardworking children’s saddle. A soft, slim and broad panel helps the saddle mould comfortably around the pony while keeping the rider as close as possible.
Finished with distinctive blue welting, the DJ combines a smart, modern appearance with a design developed around the needs of both pony and young rider.

This modern single flap saddle has been developed in conjunction with top riders to fulfil the need for closeness to the horse but without compromising on fit, and has a close contact panel. The tree has a flat rake cantle for the more open seat, ideal for X-Country and with a free swinging girthing system it allows fitting flexibility.

Since its launch the Jessica has been a true winner. It was originally designed to meet the demand for a comfortable, affordable and functional Dressage saddle. It has met with constant praise from both riders and the equestrian trade alike and is now one of the most respected dressage saddles on the market. It features a semi deep seat on an open head tree with wide centre channel and even bearing surface.
The Ozelle has the same tree as the Ideal Deal GP, Ideal Deal Jump and the Ideal Rebecca.
Developed for the adult show competitor, this saddle is designed on the Jessica tree with a straight show cut flap and panel.

Developed for the adult show competitor, this saddle is designed on the Jessica tree with a straight show cut flap and panel.
We noticed that of late we were being repeatedly asked to make the same modifications to our dressage saddles, on further investigation and talking to our customers it became apparent that we were missing a sector in the dressage market.
Well schooled horses develop a back profile that necessitated a new tree design; here is the result - A serious saddle for the serious rider.
The Suzannah is also available in twinflap

This saddle was designed after much demand from our retailers who were familiar with the fit of our Suzannah Dressage saddle. The 1650 GP is an all-purpose saddle constructed on the same tree as the Suzannah with the exception of the stirrup bars being located slightly further forward enabling a more all-purpose riding position. We recommend this saddle for Hacking, Flatwork, Hunting, General Riding, Training and Jumping!
This particular saddle was made on the Tonisha tree, low round cantle everything standard made.
