The Changing Shape of Saddle Fitting
Depending upon their breed, horses can continue
to grow until six years of age and will change shape
their whole lives depending on age, fitness and lifestyle.
To accommodate this changing shape a horse may require
many different saddles, costing vast amounts of money.
Young horses in particular will change shape as muscles
develop, so perhaps it’s time to consider a
more flexible option for saddle fitting?
Gallop Equestrian’s Fairmount Saddle features
the unique and easy-to-use Flexi-Change system. This
innovative gullet system features colour-coded interchangeable
plates that with only minimum tools can easily be
exchanged, broadening your saddle fitting options.
As the horse develops, the Flexi-Change system provides
a little extra room to move in just six easy steps.
Any saddle needs to fit correctly, and it is always
advised to enlist the help of a qualified saddle fitter
for the initial fitting. However, the Flexi-Change
system allows the owner or rider to make simple adjustments
themselves as the horse changes shape, allowing more
space for the shoulder to move freely but maintaining
clearance over the wither. This prevents painful pressure
points along the back that can cause the horse serious
discomfort and affect its performance.
The Fairmount Saddle offers this versatile technology
in an elegant, English leather saddle. There is no
longer any need to resort to synthetic saddles; the
Fairmount is made in England from quality Sedgwick
English leather, providing strength and beauty with
a traditional look and feel. Quality materials and
craftsmanship combined with the Flexi-Change gullet
system provides the best of both worlds for any horse,
at a very affordable price.
The Fairmount Saddle is available in a general purpose
or dressage style and in a choice of black or brown
colours. Sizes range from 16.5” to 18”
and each saddle comes with a full set of gullet plates
and the tools required for changing.
