I like to give all my clients a little background on the Hennig...
I am importing this saddle simply because it is high quality and seems to fit "most" big moving warmbloods. This is the exclusive saddle used at the Hanoverian Verband on the auction horses. The riders literally take a saddle off one horse and slide it on the next. Obviously the Verband wants their horses to perform extremely well and this saddle provides the comfort and freedom of the shoulder for fluid gaits.
I go to Germany frequently and couldn't believe how free the shoulders were in the Hanoverians at auction, as well as at farms that I visit; while performing under this saddle. When I purchased SPS Diotima; the first ride was brilliant under this saddle. It took all of about 5 minutes of riding Diotima and sitting in the saddle to decide I wanted both the mare and the saddle. The placement of the riders seat and legs is fabulous. I have seen both tall and short riders and the position that it places seat and legs is wonderful and correct. I seemed to always fight to position my legs back into the correct spot, as with the big movers my thigh would slid forward. Not anymore. My half halts are correct and timely instead of a split second late given to repositioning.
.
This saddle frees the shoulder, allowing for the horse to rotate their shoulders without restriction. I couldn't believe the reach and movement my Fabriano mare gave me the first time I sat in the Hennig on her. She gave me her back Instantly and the quality of the gaits were awesome. I ride in this saddle and wouldn't think of riding in anything else!
My previous saddle was a Passier/ GG Deluxe. I doubt if I will ever ride in the Passier GG again and now allow my students to ride in it.
These saddles are in high demand and quite often are sold before they even reach the US. In the past, the Hennigs have been selling in 2-3 days of posting emails.
