All of our saddles have an adjustable gullet that can be easily adjusted onsite with a gullet machine by any good saddle fitter. We’ve designed our saddles to fit the ever changing shape of the horse. Our saddles can also be readjusted to go from one horse to another horse.

Wool flocked panels are incredibly beneficial for the horse's back. We use quality wool sourced sustainably from either European, Australian or New Zealand suppliers.

Being a natural product, it is not only a sustainable resource, but it moulds to the horses' back providing them with the comfort they need under saddle to develop and move forward. Wool flocked panels can also be easily re-flocked without needing to pull the saddle apart, and call be done onsite. See our wool flocked panel video here

Wool is a natural, breathable and sustainable product that moulds to the horses’ shape and movements. The wool can be easily removed from the panels or more wool can be packed into the panels to create the right fit for you and your horse.
