The Centurion II is Stubben's premium monoflap dressage saddle, developed for the demands of advanced dressage riding and designed to meet the highest requirements in the upper performance segment.
The Centurion II offers much space for the rider to find their natural balance and provides reliable support even on horses with large, expressive movement. The deep seat delivers a stable and supportive riding feel without restricting freedom of movement. A softly contoured knee area creates a smooth transition to the thigh block and comfortably supports the rider’s leg.
From a technical standpoint, the saddle stands out due to its innovative external thigh block. This block can be individually adjusted without tools in just a few moments to achieve an optimal leg position. The key advantage is that neither the clean appearance nor the stability of the block is compromised. This level of individual adjustment is a unique feature that is not possible with conventional monoflap saddles.
The entire construction is shaped by the goal of maximum closeness to the horse. The wide seat area at the seat bones combined with the deep seat and narrow twist allows the rider to feel every movement of the horse and apply seat aids with exceptional precision. The monoflap construction wraps closely around the ribcage when girthing and further enhances direct contact. A targeted reinforcement in the panel beneath the gullet helps prevent pressure points improves weight distribution and together with the broad weight bearing surface ensures a high level of comfort for the horse.
Visually the Centurion II impresses with elegant details such as the discreetly integrated stirrup leather keeper and a flowing precisely defined line design that harmoniously connects all elements of the saddle.
Like all Stübben saddles the Centurion II is handcrafted in our workshop in Kempen Lower Rhine Germany using only carefully selected high quality materials and raw components.

A traditional two-flap saddle, specifically designed for the competitive rider looking to achieve a closer connectivity with their horse when jumping. While the rider appreciates the enhanced comfort and luxury afforded by this saddle, the horse benefits from all the research and development that went in to our Performance Products, including multiple girthing options and fitting features.
Heritage leather upholds the traditional European practices of natural oil and wax tannage. The high oil and wax content of this performance leather ensures optimum suppleness and enhanced rider grip.Characteristic of the finest natural leather, the leather is heavily pre-oiled with visible shade variations, often being referred to as a ‘pull up’ leather with a traditional, if not distressed aesthetic. The depth of colour is dependent on the infused oil content within the fibers of each particular hide. The distinctive tones of colour are particularly visible when the leather is bent as the colour lightens returning over time to its original colour as the oils migrate back through into the fibers.
