Constellation Adjustable Dressage Saddle

The Constellation Adjustable Dressage Saddle was created in loving memory of longtime Schleese team member Connie Frantzke, honouring her legacy of dedication, passion, and excellence within the Schleese family.

This saddle is the newest addition to the renowned Schleese Bi-Nate® Line. It has been carefully engineered to support optimal horse-and-rider biomechanics, creating true harmony in the saddle. Designed for riders who demand precision and comfort, this elegant dressage saddle features a soft, supportive seat, a NW-Twist, and our closest-contact dressage flap yet, allowing subtle and effective communication with your horse.

At the core of the Constellation is Schleese’s upgraded Center Balance (CB) Stirrup Bar, designed to naturally position the rider’s leg under the hip for improved posture, stability, and effectiveness.  When weight is placed into the stirrups, the rider’s balance is centered over the horse’s back – away from the shoulders and withers – helping eliminate rocking, bouncing, and unnecessary pressure.

The Constellation’s sleek and streamlined flap offers a refined appearance while delivering the close, responsive feel serious dressage riders expect. Combined with Schleese’s revolutionary PSI Panel System, the saddle distributes weight evenly along the panels, helping achieve one of the lowest pressure per square inch ratings of any English saddle, promoting comfort, freedom of movement, and peak performance for the equine athlete.

Innovative features such as the Schleese Shoulder-Relief System maximize your horse’s shoulder freedom, while the adjustable Lightweight-Split AdapTree® allows the saddle to be professionally adjusted as your horse develops, changes shape, or progresses in training. The result is a truly adjustable dressage saddle designed to evolve with your horse while delivering exceptional comfort, balance, and performance. Experience the precision, comfort, and harmony of the Constellation Dressage Saddle.

In Memoriam

In addition to Connie being a long time on-site saddle fitting team member, Connie was also instrumental in the success of Caparison, which was an upscale equestrian-themed boutique to complement Schleese offerings with equestrian accessories in the mid 1990s. Many of our clients will remember her passion for the well-being of Horse and Rider. If you add the opportunity to work with her, you are blessed.
