Vega Saddles are made using a specially created synthetic tree with a tempered steel head iron. It reflects the most popular measurements and has produced a flexible saddle that is suitable for many horses and riders.

A well-fitting saddle is essential to your horse’s comfort, welfare, and general health. If your horse changes shape, Amerigo saddles can be adjusted in width up to a maximum of 1.5cm each way. We advise you to check with your Amerigo Saddle Expert, and any alterations to the saddle tree should be undertaken by an Authorised Amerigo Saddler. At saddles direct we offer a professional saddle fitting service for new Amerigo saddles and used Amerigo saddles. Our Amerigo trained saddle fitters have all the knowledge of this saddle to enable them a cutting-edge saddle fitting service for you and your horse.

Vega saddles are designed by Amerigo and are renowned in the equestrian world, appreciated for their technical design, comfort and precision fitting. The purchase of an Amerigo saddle means that you are buying a top class product, “Made in Italy”, designed by a Horseman and made by Craftsmen. Every saddle is individually made using traditional methods of saddle making and the highest quality materials, including naturally tanned leather. and wool flocked independent panels, which can be made with different levels of volume to suit each horse. Each panel is produced individually by hand and requires great skill to ensure that two equal panels are produced. Such a panel system provides many advantages in terms of fit for the horse.

Amerigo manufactures its saddles using top class French and Italian hides. The calfskin is drum-tanned in pure aniline, with only vegetative materials being used in the tanning of the leather. The specially selected hides, which come from environmentally certified tanneries, combine with the meticulous handcrafting, to ensure that every Amerigo saddle becomes a true “Made in Italy” masterpiece.

To ensure that your saddle retains its beauty and elasticity, it must be regularly treated with leather care products that clean and moisturise the leather without damaging it. These simple procedures create a natural protective barrier, which helps to defend the hide from natural wearing agents such as light and heat that can cause premature ageing.

It is, therefore, very important that the leather care products used are also suitable for the type of hides that we use. Unsuitable products can cause permanent damage to the leathers.
