17.5″ Stubben Siegfried VSD (AP dressage cut) W

Stubben Siegfried VSD Saddle

The VSD is an all purpose saddle dressage cut more suited to dressage and small jumps. Beautiful saddle, European made by one of the finest saddle makers there is. 8/10 condition with sone marks where the stirrup leathers have been. Small mark on cantle. Beautifully balanced saddle to ride in. Purchased for my new horse but doesn’t fit him.

Purchased as an XW and has had the gullet professionally adjusted by a saddle fitter to a W. Black and golden tan leather.
Asking what I paid for it. Can post at buyers expense.

Stubben Siegfried VSD Saddle: A True All-Rounder for Versatile Riders

The Stubben Siegfried VSD Saddle is a timeless classic, known for its exceptional versatility, balanced seat, and legendary German craftsmanship. VSD stands for Vielseitigkeitsschwerdecke, which translates to “All-Purpose Saddle with Dressage Tendency.”

This makes the Siegfried VSD a fantastic choice for riders who enjoy flatwork, light jumping, and hacking—all with a saddle that encourages a slightly straighter leg position than traditional all-purpose models.

A Stubben Siegfried VSD Built for Balance and Versatility

At the heart of the Stubben Siegfried VSD is a moderately deep seat that allows the rider to feel secure and comfortable, whether schooling on the flat or going over small fences.

Its design offers slightly more support and alignment for dressage-focused work compared to a typical GP (general-purpose) saddle. Without sacrificing the flexibility needed for trail riding or light jumping.

The forward-cut flap still provides enough room for a shorter stirrup length, making it an ideal saddle for riders who enjoy variety in their riding disciplines.

Key Features of a Stubben Siegfried VSD

• Moderately deep seat for rider comfort and security

• Slightly straighter flap to support a longer leg position

• High-quality leather for grip and durability

• Stubben spring tree designed to flex with the horse’s movement

• Wool-flocked panels for adjustability and even pressure distribution

• Available in various seat and tree sizes for a customizable fit

• Wants one saddle for dressage, hacking, and light jumping

• Prefers a more classical seat with leg support

• Needs a saddle that provides balance without locking them into position

• Values comfort and craftsmanship for both short rides and long hours in the saddle
