To the future‌ I have been very fortunate to have had so many successful years at the top of the dressage sport. Never being one to rest on my laurels I’m working towards a new set of goals with great enthusiasm. One of these goals is to focus more of my time on the development and training of talented and dedicated students. To accommodate this interest we have been busy rebuilding the Anky van Grunsven dressage stables. We have used the most advanced technology and material available to design and build a modern equestrian facility that fulfils all the latest requirements. This is the same approach that we apply to the ANKY Technical CasualsŽ range. Since the initial launch we have used all the technology that was available at that time to create items that fulfil fashion and functionality requirements. As technology advances we incorporate this into each collection. At the same time we maintain an eye on the latest fashions to help ensure that each new collection reflects all the latest trends in design and colour. We hope you are as enthusiastic about this new collection as we are!!

ANKY® Technical Casuals follows the standards required for the ISO 14001 certificate. The aim of the standard is to reduce the environmental footprint of a business and to decrease the pollution and waste a business produces. ANKY® Tenchnical Casuals has also started to introduce PTT materials into our garments. PTT is made from corn and recycled polyester. It’s ecological as well being a versatile and durable material.
Soft-Touch-Saddle ANKY SALINERO ® This top dressage saddle was developed by the German company BUSSE Sportartikel GmbH & Co. KG in close collaboration with Anky van Grunsven. Anky uses the SALINERO ® saddle with Soft-Touch-Panel and its top-class girthed steelspring tree successfully on all horses since January 2006. Optimized knee-rolls and reduced stuffing in the knee-area will support especially long-legged riders. Made of best English saddlery leather.
1. Conventionally flocked saddle panel of a used saddle showing a clearly uneven suface. The computer graph shows the pressure-point measured, which are caused by the unevenness of the panel. 2. This photo shows the even and soft surface of a used Soft-Touch-Panel. The graph next to it proves good distribution of pressure with no pressure-points.
The perfect bond between horse and rider. The patented Soft-Touch-Panel of all BUSSE Soft-Touch-Saddles guarantees: • optimal distribution of pressure - maximum protection of the horse’s back during riding • long-lasting and even soft and elastic filling - ideally compensating all movements • 100% even bearing-surface - saddle sores impossible • closest possible position of the rider to the horse’s back - all aids reach the horse unaltered • panels are shape-retaining - the gullet will always hold its wide shape • individual adjustments by conventional flocking is possible - balancing the saddle on your horse’s back according to its anatomy
Soft-Touch stops pressure points. Cross-section of a Soft-Touch-Panel with pressure-stable-layer, placed in the middle of the panel not visible to the rider. Using conventional flocking wool the saddle can be balanced on the individual horse. The pressure-stable-layer distributes weight and pressure evenly onto the largest possible bearing surface, preventing pressure points. Two special foam layers below the pressure-stable-layer towards the horse’s back, make a completely even bearing surface which feels elastic and forms a homogenous surface for the horse’s back muscles. The rider’s aids are passed unaltered and every movement of horse and rider is ideally compensated.
