Moroccan-Andalusian Hand-Painted Saddle – Midnight Blue and Gold

Signature Offerings Overview

The Moroccan-Andalusian Hand-Painted Saddle in Midnight Blue and Gold is a Riad Street creation by Salma Tahri, La Cavalière Élégante. Midnight blue leather is painted by hand with gilded arabesques, terracotta and ruby florals and geometric borders drawn from Moroccan-Andalusian decorative art. It turns a working saddle into a piece of heritage.

Problem It Solves

Most saddles are built purely as equipment, with little room for culture or personal expression. Riders who love Moroccan heritage and Arabian horses rarely find tack that reflects that identity. This saddle combines functional equestrian design with hand-painted Moroccan artistry, so it can be ridden in and displayed as a collectible.
