With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Equipe EK26 Special Carbon Jump Saddle Double Flap
The Equipe EK26 saddle is a new, revolutionary product manufactured using state of the art technical materials whilst also showcasing style and design details that the Italians are famed for.The EK26 saddle is built with a new carbon tree which has many important characteristics such as flexibility, softness, non-deformability, lightness and manufacturing precision. Thanks to the advanced technology deployed and to the adaptability of carbon combined with Kevlar, its structure offers excellent versatility and personalisation. The end result is a tree that precisely follows the morphology/shape of the horse, while the deepness of the seat allows the rider to find the most natural and suitable position to achieve perfect harmony with the horses movement in any situation with no restrictions.Flaps are proportionate and have the correct inclination to allow continuous functionality of the seat. Knee blocks are in a position to allow the leg to be elastic but stable allowing the rider to follow the movements in a secure position.EK26's E-Shape panels adapt perfectly to the contact surface of the horses back through a method of body heat. They allow uniform support of the saddle and correct weight and pressure distribution on the horses back. After use the panels return to their original shape when not in use. The material used in the new Equipe saddle panels is non-toxic and non-allergenic. They are sealed and insulated making them immune to the negative aspects of heat changes such as sweat. The material is used for its technical specifications and for its qualities recognised in the medical field as well, where it has proved valuable in aiding blood circulation and therefore counteracting problems deriving from decubitus ulcers. E-Shape does not contain latex rubber and is not subject to mould.The innovative manufacturing concepts, choice of technically advanced materials and production techniques, together with being able to personalise and guarantee improved contact between horse and rider is clearly a winning formulation. For the rider every small aid is clearly transmitted to the horse giving them precision riding at every stride.The saddle is available in both a monoflap and a double flap version.
