Adjustment and practical details

The adjustable gullet and wool-flocked panels are particularly useful details to discuss during a professional saddle assessment.

The 17.5-inch open seat and dual flaps give the saddle a clear dressage-oriented specification.

Point straps are already fitted, and a Fairfax saddle cover is included. The cover is useful for keeping the saddle protected between use and storage. A video showing the saddle’s condition can also be provided on request.
