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 Pony Long Leg
Although designed primarily to take children through their riding years, this saddle is a good option for leggy teenagers or petite adults on ponies or shorter-coupled horses thanks to the forward-cut flap.
This saddle is available in one panel profile (standard) but thanks to the SimaTree S-Bar can be adjusted to suit low wither and standard wither fits.
- The flap is cut forward in front of the point of the rider’s knee to accommodate a leggy teenager or adult pony rider.
- Velcro knee block under the flap can be positioned to suit leg length and position.
- Five girthing options which allows saddle stability to be optimised instantly on a variety of conformations
- This saddle takes the SimaTree S-Bar and so is suitable for ponies with a medium or low wither. A saddle fitter can usually achieve a good fit on a variety of conformations, thanks to the open-headed tree and versatile panel design which is flocked with English wool.
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
The Kent & Masters Pony Club Saddle (and Pony Club Long Leg) offers the following FIVE girthing options to fine-tune the fit of your pony saddle.
Your saddle fitter will begin in the neutral position.
NOTE this is the same as girthing on the first and third billets on a saddle with a conventional girthing system
If the saddle slips forward the fitter has the option to use the point (first) strap and the third strap
If the saddle is still unstable, the point (first) strap can be locked by threading it through the loop on the sweat flap
If the problem is that the saddle lifts at the back, you can move the third strap to the floating balance ring
The fifth option is to girth on the point strap and the floating balance ring
NEVER girth using the point strap and the first strap. This will cause saddle instability and discomfort for your pony
