Fitting guidance

The adjustable gullet offers flexibility but does not guarantee a suitable fit for every horse. Have the saddle’s balance, panel contact and clearance assessed by a qualified saddle fitter, particularly after gullet changes or changes in your horse’s condition. Select a compatible girth and saddle pad to complement the fit.

Leather care

Clean and condition according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Store in a dry, ventilated place away from direct heat, and inspect stitching and straps regularly.
