Additional Information

Hrímnir Elite - Additional Information

The luxurious Hrímnir Elite has been developed over the last years with professional trainers in Iceland, such as Þórarinn Eymundsson or Ásmundur Ernir Snorrason. We aimed to design an extraordinary comfortable saddle for horse and rider that helps the rider to sit easily in a balanced full seat in close contact to the horse.

This saddle features a classical design with the deepest point in the middle of the seat for optimal weight distribution. Its seat and knee blocks support the rider very well in an extraordinary comfortable way. The additional layer of BayFlex® foam in the seat makes this saddle extra comfortable for the rider.

The knee blocks are placed on the outside of the flap and offer very good support and steadiness for the leg.

The wider gullet channel offers best fit and weight distribution on the horse’s back.

The Elite saddle is made of the best leather available on the market today, which is vegetable chrome tanned. This tanning process leads to a long lasting colour and superior softness of the leather.

The high quality DuPont® Flex tree and the BayFlex® foam padding guarantee optimal weight distribution on the horse’s back, strength and flexibility of the saddle and maximum comfort for horse and rider. The expert design lets the horse move freely and allows harmonious and sustainable riding, helping the rider to sit in balance and to give fine- tuned aids in close contact with the horse.

The BayFlex® foam padding conforms to the horse’s back during riding, but always retains its original shape again after usage. This ensures a long lasting fit for different kinds of horses, and makes sure that the saddle pads always stay symmetrical. This soft but strong material offers optimal shock absorption and protects the back of the horse.

The XChange® gullet plate system makes it easy to adjust the saddle width yourself in six easy steps for individual conformation or changes in the horse.

The safety Billet system ensures optimal stability of the saddle.

Our saddles are entirely made of quality leather and high- tech materials.

The Hrímnir Elite is the best saddle I have had so far. It lies well and evenly, allows close contact with the horse and puts the rider in the correct seat.
Review by Carina on 1/23/2023
I've owned the Hrímnir for a year now and I absolutely love it! As a rider, I can sit more relaxed than ever before, it is also super comfortable and allows closer contact with the horse than I have ever had with any other saddle. I now only ride all horses with this saddle because it adapts to the horse's back thanks to the special filling. I have noticed an improvement with every horse as they are more relaxed in their backs. All of this has made me happy every day for a year now when I get the saddle out of the closet :)

I never understood how important the right saddle for my horse was until I tried Hrimnir Elite. Wow, feels like I climbed 10 levels of riding just by finding the perfect saddle. So easy to sit in a correct position, gives very much support and ease the communication between me and my horse. The horse gets more balanced and shows more movement. I will never switch saddle.

I use the ELITE on a lot of breeds- Icelandic's , Paso Fino , American Saddlebred , just to name 3 breeds. The saddle fits every breed and gives horse and Rider a safe and good feeling for each other. It's the one and only !!!!
Review by FranziskaF on 7/3/2020
I love the Elite saddle. It fits perfectly my two horses. Due to the mono-flap structure, you sit close to the horse and can apply your aids very finely and precisely. It is comfortable to sit on and gives you enough freedom of movement. The leather quality is excellent, I ride it every day and I am absolutely thrilled. Top product!
