Zaldi Escola-Golegã Portuguese Saddle. Portuguese Tradition. Zaldi Innovation.
Not every saddle is born with a history. Some are born to write it.
The new Zaldi Escola-Golegã is the perfect fusion of the essence of Portuguese equestrian tradition with Zaldi's innovation, experience, and the exceptional craftsmanship of our master saddlers. The result is a saddle that delivers balance, elegance, and an outstanding connection from the very first ride.
Its soul and character are defined by its new oversized external knee block, developed to provide greater stability and security while preserving complete freedom of movement. Its design encourages a natural riding position, featuring a deeper seat that creates an exceptional connection between horse and rider.
Built on a flexible, anatomically designed tree, the Escola-Golegã brings the rider closer to the horse, offering outstanding seat security and balance while promoting precise, comfortable, and harmonious riding. When everything fits perfectly, the aids flow naturally and communication becomes pure harmony.
Each saddle is handcrafted using carefully selected premium European leather, including top-quality croupon and boxcalf leathers. These noble materials combine durability, softness, and timeless elegance, ensuring a saddle that maintains both its performance and beauty for years to come.
Designed with the anatomy of both horse and rider in mind, the Escola-Golegã features an ergonomic Portuguese dressage flap, a deep latex seat, wool flocked panels treated to repel water and sweat, and long V-billets. Every detail is engineered to maximize rider comfort while allowing complete freedom of movement for the horse.
Because every rider has their own style, the Escola-Golegã can be fully customized with a wide range of leather colours, suede options, stitching, piping, and welts. The model shown combines elegant tan leather with beige suede, proving that tradition and exclusivity can exist in perfect harmony.
The finest riding sensations cannot be explained-they can only be experienced from the saddle.

Leather colours
It is impossible to get two items made of tan, dark tan, brown or Havana leather exactly the same colour.
Every piece of leather is different
A saddle is made from different types of leather, some parts of the saddle – for example seat, flaps, panels, girth straps, require leather giving different characteristics compared to other parts. We need to use different leather types for different parts, which means leather from different animals, different suppliers, different tanning processes or tints. So it is impossible to achieve exactly the same colour.
For a group of products such as a saddle, bridle, girth, reins there will always be different nuances in colour. So for example a tan bridle, saddle and girth will be in a tan spectrum but there will be variations in the actual colour, including the saddle which has to be made of different grades of leather, giving different shades.
It is the same with clothing, a cotton polo shirt in blue, will be a different shade to a blue jumper or a pair of trousers. All will be blue but different shades of colour because of the different materials.
So when ordering a saddle, or any other leather item, it is necessary to take into account that it is not possible to guarantee an exact match of colour.
The colours shown in the catalogue photographs are for guidance
In our catalogue (including social media and our website www.zaldi.com) we use digital printing to show the ranges of colours available, but this is for guidance as the colours can vary depending on the set up of each computer screen or mobile phone display. Also taking into account the differences in perception from one person’s eye to another we can only give the colours as a guide. To get a 100% colour match to the original is impossible.
0 MINUTE
When you put your new saddle on the horse, it seems that it does not fit at all… It is necessary a bit of time for it to fit… Relax!
1-15’ MINUTES
Girth your saddle, although it will be a bit loose and it seems it does not fit yet. Don’t despair! Get on the horse…
15 - 60’ MINUTES
The panels start to adapt to the back of the horse in the correct way. It is possible now to girth it one or two holes tighter.
5 - 10 HOURS
While riding, the saddle continues to adapt. The distribution through the panels of our weight helps to reach a perfect a fitting and adaptation. We can adjust the girth a bit more.
+15 H HOURS
We get an ideal fitting. We feel comfortable on the saddle while it rests/leans where and how it should on the back of the horse. We can now adjust the girth firmly.
DON´T DESPAIR!! Remember that there is a necessary fitting time. Trust ZALDI!!!
