The classical systems of riding such as those promoted by the Hunter Seat Medal Finals, are the same as those promoted by the Nelson and Rodrigo Pessoa. As riders, they appreciate the hard work and dedication that is necessary for riding at the highest level. It has been a natural fit for their brand to be the sponsor of the USEF Hunter Seat Medal Finals.
The Pessoa saddle was conceived and designed by Nelson Pessoa over 30 years ago. Out of his designs grew the concepts of the modern close contact saddle. The Pessoa brand has grown to many different designs and models for all types of riders and horses. The line has grown into a brand that includes training aids and horse clothing as well as their extensive line of bridles and saddles.
