Freedom Wither Gusset
An extra wool flocked gusset, ideal for horses where there is low muscle either side of the wither, it will allow muscle to develop because of the soft wool flock and not be restricted by a narrower fitting saddle. Standard on most saddles except show saddles.

Various options but standard on all saddles except The Hartley

Thigh Block
Standard on all Events saddles

Jumping Block
Standard on all jumping saddles

Balance Strap
For extra girth balancing, particularly dressage and show saddles

Dressage Point Strap
Optional, through bottom of knee roll

Blocked Flap
Sometimes used on show saddles

Quilted Panel
Traditional method of paneling

Covered Skirt

Serge Panels
Why not try a serge panel instead of leather. Not only will serge make your saddle lighter in weight, but it will mould to the shape off your horse with greater effect. Serge panels conform quickly to your horses back, virtually eliminating pad slippage. Serge is also very popular in hot conditions as the rate of heat absorption is faster than leather. The material requires no conditioning or treatment and is best cleaned with a soft suede brush and a damp cloth.


Self-Adjusting Girth System
The new Self-Adjusting Girth System works by adding an additional web point fixed to the tree. This stabilizes the balance and allows the billet to find the most natural girthing.
