Unveiling the Let’s Dance Dressage Saddle by Anne Gribbons
The Let’s Dance Dressage Saddle is more than just equipment; it’s a testament to the dedication of Anne Gribbons and Jochen Schleese to equine well-being and rider performance. This saddle embodies a commitment to superior craftsmanship and groundbreaking design, ensuring both horse and rider can perform at their best, comfortably and in perfect unison.
Innovative NW-Twist: Harmony for Rider and Horse
At the heart of the Let’s Dance saddle lies the revolutionary NW-Twist. Understanding the common desire for a narrow twist among riders for closer contact, Schleese has innovated beyond conventional design. The NW-Twist provides an exceptionally narrow feel for the rider, enhancing connection and communication. Simultaneously, and crucially for your horse’s comfort and performance, it offers a wider twist for the horse. This unique construction ensures optimal weight distribution across the horse’s back, particularly in the sensitive T10-T13 region, promoting freedom of movement and preventing painful pressure points. This innovative approach directly addresses the findings of scientific studies highlighting the potential negative impacts of narrow twists on equine back health.
Advanced Features for Optimal Performance and Comfort
Beyond the NW-Twist, the Let’s Dance Dressage Saddle boasts a suite of features designed for peak performance and lasting comfort:
- Deepest, Closest Contact Seat: Experience an unparalleled connection with your horse, allowing for subtle communication and enhanced feel.
- Shock-Absorbing Tree Points: The innovative tree points are engineered to maximize shoulder freedom, enabling your horse to move with unrestricted fluidity and expression.
- Adjustable *LightWeight-3D-AdapTree***®: This adaptable tree can be dynamically adjusted by a Schleese Certified Saddle Ergonomist to perfectly fit your horse, and can be readjusted as your horse’s conformation changes over time, or even for different horses, ensuring a consistently perfect fit.
- Revolutionary PSI Panel System: As a *Bi-NateLine*® saddle, the Let’s Dance includes the PSI panel system. This system maximizes the weight-bearing surface area of the saddle across the horse’s back, distributing pressure evenly and minimizing pressure per square inch, far surpassing traditional English saddle designs.

The Science Behind the Comfort: Understanding NW-Twist
The NW-Twist is not just a design feature; it’s a scientifically-backed solution to a common saddle fitting challenge. Traditional narrow twists, while favored by riders for feel, can create concentrated pressure on the horse’s back, potentially leading to muscle hypertrophy, hypertension, and discomfort. Schleese’s bisection of the tree at the twist to create the NW-Twist directly addresses this issue. By providing a narrow twist for the rider and a wider twist for the horse within the same saddle, the Let’s Dance ensures rider comfort without compromising equine well-being. This allows horses to move freely, engage their backs correctly, and perform without pain or restriction.
Created from a genuine love for horses by Anne and Jochen, the Let’s Dance Dressage Saddle is an investment in your partnership and your performance. Try one today and experience the difference innovation and dedication can make.
