DISCONTINUED
This is the GP–dressage hybrid saddle is designed for those who enjoy hacking but are more interested in flatwork and schooling.
- Straighter panels that are not as ‘forward cut’ as the GP saddle – making it easier to ride in the longer leg position required in dressage.
- An open-headed tree which is not as flat as our S-Series Compact GP.
- Broad panels that accommodate a variety of conformations.
- Standard wither gullet depth for horses with a medium wither profile.
- Velcro knee and calf blocks under the flap which can be positioned to suit your leg length and position.
- Changeable girthing arrangement which allows saddle stability to be optimised instantly.
Girthing Information
All Kent & Masters GP Saddles are fitted with three girth straps (billets), the third one being moveable.
This flexible girthing arrangement allows saddle stability to be optimised instantly.
Begin by girthing in the neutral position using the second and third billets. (NOTE: This is the same as girthing on the first and third billets on a saddle with a conventional girthing system)
If you find the saddle slips forward, you can use the point (front) strap and the third position
If the back of the saddle lifts away from the horse’s back, move the third strap onto the floating balance position and use the second and fourth position.
If the saddle tends to move forward and lift at the back, use the first and fourth positions
DO NOT girth using the first and second straps
