For those who love the classic western saddle but need something shorter and lighter, DP have created a western saddle on an English tree with wool flocked panels! This short and light saddle is built on an Ultra-Flex tree with fully adjustable gullet. It easily adjusted to suit any width narrow - 4xw whilst the saddle is on the horse! A simple turn of the allen key supplied and the tree widens or narrows before your eyes.
The panel shape may not suit a pancake flat back (front to back).
With a softly padded nubuck suede dressage seat and set back fenders for perfect comfort and balance, its ideal for long trail rides and endurance riders. This saddle is a size s1, suited to riders that would ride in a 16.5" or 17" English saddle. Made with short fenders, currently on hole 4 it measures 82cm from the centre of the seat to the stirrup tread. (fenders can adjust from holes 1 -10)
Purchased new in 2021, it comes with warranty card and original purhcase receipt. (warranty is 3 years & 5 years on the tree).
Includes rawhide stirrups, gullet alteration tool and DP saddle cover.
(no girth included, a standard short dressage girth would suit.)
