Merano
The Merano offers an updated look and feel to the classic Puro. It still has clean minimalist lines but extra padding in the seat and eye-catching horse head embroidery details on the flaps.
This model gives the rider freedom for seat and leg position and is extremely lightweight, weighing in under 10 pounds!
It's an excellent choice for Endurance, riders who must have a free and open seat, or people who value versatility and freedom of movement that knee blocks and thigh blocks might restrict.
The girthing system for the Merano has been widened with a triangular attachment; two straps attached wide to the saddle's base, narrowing to an angled strap protector, which can be positioned up and down your horse's barrel to customize to the needs of the horse even for horse's with difficult conformation or motion.
It has a low, virtually unnoticeable profile under the rider's legs, which additionally improves stability in the open seat saddles.
