M.Toulouse Aachen Dressage Saddle w/ Genesis Tree 2700
Product Details
Aachen Dressage with Genesis Adjustable Tree
The Aachen saddle features a deep seat that is soft and comfortable, provides support, and centers the rider's weight properly for correct balance. The mildly forward flap and is overlaid entirely of calf leather. Underneath the Soft air cushioned kneepads, the moveable/removable knee block system allows positioning for optimum comfort and effectiveness. The gusseted panels with wool and a Soft Touch comfort foam layer ensures great fit for your horse.
There are 3 billet options included, 1 D-Ring for a point billet, 1 D-Ring with a billet placed under the stirrup bar that can be moved forward to the point position, and the back billet is a 2 into 1 with a swing billet system which equalizes the rear billets.
The Genesis adjustable gullet system allows a single saddle to custom fit all your horses. The system adjusts to virtually any saddle width needed—millimeter by millimeter. Adjustments are made quickly and easily in three steps using the included hex wrench. Simply unlock the gullet, adjust the gullet width and lock in the new width—all without taking the saddle apart. A small, discreet leather-covered flap underneath the saddle is all you need to open to make adjustments. Once the adjustment is made, the tree locks securely in place.
The Aachen Dressage Saddle is available with the Genesis™ Adjustable Tree System, both with a 5 year limited warranty against manufacturers defects.

Calculated Seat Size:
There is a lot of room for personal preference with seat sizing, but as a general rule it is better to error on the side of ordering a seat size that is too large rather than erring on the side of a seat that will be too small.
Things to Consider
- Tucker adds 1/2inch to their seat sizes (due to thick seat padding)
16.5” Tucker = 16” normally
- Barrel riders usually take 1” less on the seat size
16” Trail Rider = 15” Barrel Rider
- Ranch (slick seats) usually ride smaller (1/2inch seat size) so they don’t slide around
16” is for most men, 15” for most women
- Trail Saddles with High Cantles (5”) make the seat sizes feel smaller
Trail Saddle with 5” cantle will feel smaller in the seat than one with a 3.5” cantle
- English Saddles don’t convert exactly but often are 2” bigger
18” English = 16” Western
- Riders with inseams under 30” or 5’ tall and under often need custom cut fenders
Tall riders with long legs but lighter weight may need custom cut fenders as well
Checking the Fit
- General Guideline is about 3 fingers between your thigh and the swell.
