Kent & Masters saddles are only available from our network of independent retailers - you can't order direct from us (neither in the UK or overseas)
Kent & Masters S-Series Compact GP
This has a different feel to our Universal GP; slim riders or those with narrower hips may feel it suits them better. The ‘compact’ refers to the neat seat which makes this a great option for the petite rider on a large pony or small horse.
- The cut is forward enough to accommodate a jumping leg position – making it a really versatile saddle.
- Two panel options for horses with a medium or high wither profile.
- Velcro knee and calf blocks under the flap which can be positioned to suit your leg length and position.
- Ghosted stitching on the knee pad helps it contour neatly around the block and ensures added comfort.
- Four girthing options which allow saddle stability to be optimised instantly.
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
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
Moveable Knee & Calf Block
This saddle has two moveable Velcro blocks that can be adjusted to suit the leg support your need. If you prefer to ride with shorter stirrups, or have short legs, position the knee block higher up.
