Throwback Thursday 🐎✨

Back in 2015, Maribel Paulson and FLF Julianna reached an incredible milestone—5,000 AERC miles together! What an achievement and a testament to the partnership, dedication, and heart that endurance riding demands.

Fast forward to today, and Maribel is still going strong, continuing to compete and add to her legacy in the sport. She is on the cusp of achieving 12,000 AERC miles—and every single one of those miles has been ridden in a Specialized Saddle.

We’re proud to have been part of the journey—here’s to the miles behind and many more still to come!

This completed Eurolight is officially on its way home! Built in a rich brown leather with a smooth cognac seat, this combination flows together seamlessly for a warm, classic look. The brass hardware adds just the right touch of timeless character, while the footman’s loops offer extra anchoring for trail essentials.

It’s finished off with leather strings and camel fleece leather covers, giving it that complete, ready-to-ride feel.

to our November 2016 feature in Horse Illustrated.

Back then, we proudly said our saddles were lightweight, with a narrow twist, close contact, and comfortable.

Ten years later?
That still rings true.

Some things don’t change — like our commitment to better fit for horse and rider. 💙
