The Leather
Malleable and soft
P essoa only uses best quality materials, which merits their name. An organic, resistant, malleable leather with an extraordinary texture and color, which only uses natural tans, chrome-free*, for their tanning. This natural tanning process is friendly with the environment, as well as with the horse, since it does not generate illnesses by undesirable contact.
Due to the goodness of this process, the color of these leathers may vary as time goes by. The leather still bears the 'signature' of the animal that it comes from: small veins, scars, insect bites and wrinkles; a sign of the authenticity of this natural material.
All the Pessoa saddles are made with pre-oiled leather, giving a unique malleability, great resistance to humidity and extra grip. Right from the beginning, you will feel a saddle that adapts itself to contact and is extremely comfortable to sit on. Since the Pessoa saddles are made with pre-oiled leather, they do not require to be oiled until approximately 30 days after usage.
