This one's barely been ridden - it's as close to new as a used saddle gets. If you've been eyeing a quality French saddle but haven't pulled the trigger yet, this is a good place to start looking. The Biarritz O is Devoucoux's multi-purpose close contact - a semi-deep seat that gives you security without locking you in. It's a solid fit for a petite or younger rider who wants something that actually moves with them, not against them. The 1N flap measures 13" x 13", so it suits a rider with a shorter leg and thigh. The D3D panels are what set this saddle apart from older Devoucoux models. They use single-block foam shaped with 3D scanning technology, which basically means the pressure your weight creates gets spread more evenly across your horse's back - wider bearing surface, more flexibility, and a wider channel down the spine so the muscle takes the load, not the vertebrae. The shoulder blade cutout is also adjusted so your horse gets freer movement up front. It's not just marketing - you can feel the difference in how a horse moves underneath you. Stamped specs: 16.5 / 1N / 3RC / D3D / 4-5 3-5 Panels: D3D with -5mm front and back A saddle like this new is a significant investment. This one's already broken past that stiff-new-leather stage and is ready to ride.
