Since 2018 I have been collaborating with Draupnir Horse Equipment. I mainly ride in the four newest models, Ask, Orka, Fenrir and Fimur. I admire and appreciate the unmatched quality!
The beauty of true quality. Their goal has always been to make high end saddles and equipment tailored for the Icelandic horse. Tonje Lund Ness, the veterinarian and chiropractor, along with several high-profile riders have been greatly engaged in the lead of the development of our equipment. Skilled saddle makers and good input from customers should not be forgotten.
The saddle trees are anatomically tailored for the Icelandic horses back and comes in 15 different sizes. The saddle tree is made of epoxy, a material that is resilient, flexible, strong and light weight which makes our saddles unique. A good saddle tree is crucial for the final product and the quality of the saddle. The development of our equipment started in 2005 and since then we have made sure we keep expanding our knowledge to continue to develop our brand. The components in our products are of the highest quality, such as Italian and German ecofriendly tanned leather. Sprenger is our supplier for stainless steel products, such as the buckles, hooks and stirrups.
Draupnir Fimur Our latest saddle has a flexible, resilient soft tree like no other. The brand new saddle from Draupnir. The flexible tree in Fimur is made from a special technology to make sure the tree is resilient. This saddle provides the support of a regular saddle yet the feeling of freedom from a treeless saddle. Pressure measurements have shown that the Fimur saddle distributes the weigth of the rider over the entire length of the saddle in a neutral position.
This can be done as the saddle tree's technology is flexible, elastic but resilient, which means the saddle tree has the capacity to withstand pressure as well as having the ability to spring back into shape.
Draupnir FENRIR Fenrir is Draupnir's model with double flap. The saddle has a medium-deep seat with medium-long knee pads. This saddle has been very popular and received a lot of praise for the balance in the seat. In the development of this saddle, we have had the great Erlingur Erlingsson (Elli) with us, who has been responsible for the balance of the seat and the design of the knee pads.
Draupnir ORKA Draupnir ORKA has been developed in close collaboration with the national team rider for Denmark, Søren Madsen. Søren has been working on the development of ORKA for over a year. Søren Madsen has visited the saddlery several times. Through Draupnir ORKA, we have developed a quality saddle with a deep and open seat for optimize for riding in tölt. From experience, we have notices that this saddle has been a great fit for riders with both longer and shorter legs.
Draupnir ASK The Draupnir ASK has the same deep seat as the previous Draupnir SP. ASK has been developed in collaboration with Stian Pedersen. It provides good space between the thigh blocks and cantle. The twist is higher than on the previous model Draupnir SP which makes the saddle feel narrower and gives the rider a balanced seat. The tigh blocks are softer and more rounded than on the previous model Draupnir SP.
Draupnir EMBLA Draupnir EMBLA has the good seat specially made for female riders. Although this seat is designed with women's anatomy in mind, we also see that males find this seat the most comfortable. Knee rolls and thigh blocks are the same as on the Draupnir ASK. The twist has been made higher, which makes the saddle feel narrower and provides a better seat and balance for the rider.

HGG Reitsport
HGG produces high-quality riding overalls. Over the years, riders who use the overalls have repeatedly given then suggestions on how to make it even better. The result is a riding suit which fully meets the requirements of horseback riding. It is by far the best overall I have ever used!
Waterproof outer material and seams keeps me dry and warm during the winter season, but honestly I use it all year around. The riding overall is characterized by high-quality and durable materials. The TorayDelfy ™ outer material from Sweden ensures that the overall is lightweight, waterproof and windproof as well as breathable. It keeps me warm and dry but allows the body to breathe freely and insulates excellently. The Cordura material for the seat guarantees a secure hold in the saddle. The soft padding ensures optimal warmth and comfort and is also very protective against cold, wind and weather.
Due to a range of waist sizes, the riding overall is extremely comfortable for every figure and offers freedom of movement. Three outer pockets, one inner pocket and a mobile phone pocket offer plenty of storage space and, when unexpectedly caught in the rain, the rolled up hood in the collar provides sufficient protection. The overall is suitable for winter, the transitional period as well as all bad weather days all year round. It is recommended to wear functional underwear underneath.
