Description
Innovation designed
around equine biomechanics.
Spiritnova Prima was developed from a project led by Sabrina Polana — designer, FISE instructor and equestrian tourism guide — together with Renato Covi, industrial technical expert and co-inventor of the product.
The patented dynamic structure allows the saddle to move together with the horse, promoting freedom, comfort and performance through an approach fully centred on animal wellbeing.
Why choose Spiritnova Prima
- Total shoulder freedom
The structure allows controlled micro-rotations that support each stride without compression on the shoulder. - Natural adaptation in turns
The saddle follows the horse’s movement, maintaining stable and harmonious contact throughout the trajectory. - Adaptable to every back
The six independent support points adapt to the horse’s morphology, distributing weight evenly. - Always balanced load
The lattice structure reduces pressure peaks on the Saddle Support Area (SSA), supporting comfort and muscular health. - Universal and versatile
Suitable for every breed and type of horse. Ideal for riding schools, passionate riders, trekking and endurance competitions. - Free gullet channel
The saddle maintains a wide and consistent gullet channel (3–5 fingers) along its entire length, preventing any interference with the spinal processes, transverse processes, and the back muscles up to the longissimus dorsi muscle. - Zero pressure on the trapezius muscle
The shape of the front pads is designed to sit just behind the scapula, leaving the trapezius muscle free from pressure and allowing the shoulder blade the space it needs to move naturally with every stride. -
Optimal Height & Stable BalanceThe saddle sits close to the horse’s back, only about 2–3 fingers (4–5 cm), just like traditional saddles. Its open design may appear higher, but this is only a visual effect that reveals the internal structure. The rider–horse balance remains stable and close to the horse, while the saddle adapts to movement and distributes weight evenly in every gait.
Italian Craftsmanship
Spiritnova Prima is entirely produced in Italy, with leather components handcrafted in the province of Vicenza. Every detail results from the meeting of manufacturing tradition and innovative engineering.
Each saddle is unique.
Every Spiritnova Prima is marked with a serial number embossed into the leather seat — a sign of traceability, authenticity and artisanal value.
Each saddle is handmade and identified as a unique piece, designed to accompany horse and rider over time.
How to correctly position the saddle
Spiritnova Prima must be placed behind the scapula, allowing it to move freely and avoiding pressure on the trapezius muscle. This ensures the saddle works in the ideal zone: the SSA (Saddle Support Area).

Alex Cavallaro –
“I was able to observe from the ground the pony ridden by one of my students: much more relaxed, willing to move forward, with wider and more natural movements.”
Francesco Rizzelo –
“I noticed a positive response from the horse.
My impression was that the saddle respected the movement of the back and shoulders, without pressure that restricted movement.”
Dr. Alessandra Ariasi – Equine Vet –
“The Spiritnova saddle respects the horse by adapting to different conformations and following its movement dynamically during locomotion.
This allows for an even distribution of the rider’s weight, without creating pressure points or restrictions.”
Christine Kofler –
“I found the horses I have been riding for several years, with which I compete in Dressage, to be more fluid and relaxed in their movement.”
