Kent & Masters S-Series Dressage Surface Block
Available in black only, this saddle will suit you if you like plenty of support in your dressage position, thanks to the large surface-mounted knee block which will help keep you comfortable and stable.
- A true, deep ‘dressage seat’
- Two panel options for horses with a medium or high wither profile.
- An updated, surface-mounted thigh block provides stability and support for the rider in the saddle, without being restrictive.
- Changeable girth straps which provide three possible girthing arrangements and allow you to optimise saddle stability.
Features
Made in Walsall
We have been making saddles at our workshop in the West Midlands for more than 25 years. Our skilled craftsmen are qualified Master Saddlers who use traditional saddle-making techniques to ensure each and every saddle is made with consistency, care, love and attention to detail.
Design know-how
Our in-house design team includes riders who have competed internationally, qualified saddle fitters, technical specialists and experienced horsemen. This unique combination of talent, expertise and experience allows us to produce saddles for horses and riders of every shape at every level.
Changeable gullet bar
A changeable gullet bar allows you or your saddle fitter to modify the width of the saddle’s gullet to suit the horse’s wither profile as the horse changes shape with either exercise, muscle development, maturity or rest. There are 8 options in the short S-bar and 7 in the long R-bar.
100% British wool flocking
Wool is a natural fibre and provides superior softness and comfort for the horse because it moulds and settles quickly, giving optimum panel contact with the horse’s back. Two reinforced flocking slots make it easy for your saddle fitter to do any necessary adjustments to fit on-site
Conformation Design
The conformational design of a saddle is paramount to a horse's well-being and performance, serving as the crucial link that distributes a rider's weight evenly across the horse's back.
Girthing Information
Kent & Masters Dressage saddles (S-Series and Original) offer girthing solutions to fine-tune the fit of your saddle.
Neutral position
Your saddle fitter will always begin in the neutral position with the moveable billet attached behind the point.
Billet moved to point
To increase saddle stability if the saddle slips forward, the saddle fitter has the option of moving the billet (girth strap) onto the point
Point strap in locked position
For added security, the point strap can be locked in position by passing the billet through the loop at the bottom of the panel.
