• A generous gullet minimises pressure on the horse’s spine
• Full-length front gusset comes as standard, with the option of a 3⁄4 gusset or no front gusset
• EXP (Extended Point System) helps distribute pressure from the point of the saddle tree when the horse lands from a jump

  • a woollen bag panel (mono flap) – the wool flocking helps fill out uneven contours and atrophy, good for riders who want close contact
