Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
The Close Contact is an ANKY dressage saddle, reference ATS19004. It is designed to balance contact, comfort, and stability—the formula the brand applies across its entire range. Its Close Contact construction brings the rider’s leg closer to the horse.
Soft English leather, a flexible DuPont polymer tree, and an AMS system that distributes pressure beneath the panels. The padding combines synthetic wool and polyester inside a technical neoprene cover: this combination retains its shape with intensive use and limits pressure points.

🐎 Why choose this product?
On a dressage saddle, what causes wear on a horse’s back is not the weight but the concentration of pressure in a few areas. The three-point V-girth system and AMS system address this directly: the load is spread out instead of being concentrated. The memory foam extends this effect by retaining its shape where conventional padding becomes compressed.
The tree can be adjusted by a qualified saddler thanks to the X-Change2 system: the saddle can adapt as your horse’s back changes instead of needing to be replaced.
🧴 Care instructions
Have the fit checked by a saddler when the saddle is first fitted, then whenever your horse’s condition changes—muscle development, season, or returning to work after a break. Clean with glycerin soap, then apply nourishing balm without soaking the leather.
Composition: 100% leather, DuPont polymer tree, technical neoprene.
