Gullet Plate of your choice put in the saddle before dispatch, with size decided with you by adding the size in the Notes section, or we will contact you.
This leather hybrid saddle is good looking enough for any competition arena and the forward-cut flaps are specifically designed to support the rider’s leg in the shorter jumping position.
- Gorgeous soft leather on all the ‘contact points’: seat, skirt and knee pads
- The flap is forward cut to accommodate a jumping leg position
- A secure seat with a lower cantle doesn’t restrict the jumping position and allows you to maintain your centre of balance over the fence
- Adjustable and changeable Velcro knee block to fine tune the leg support required when jumping
- The panels are flocked with 100% British wool
- Available in standard panel profile (standard) but thanks to the SimaTree S-Bar this saddle can be adjusted to suit low wither and standard wither fits
- Multiple girthing options for saddle stability, including a point strap
- Made in England
Changeable Gullet
Easily change the gullet bar to best fit the width of the horse’s withers
Gullet Bar Widths
NB: There are two gullet bar lengths (R and S type) to suit the specific tree designs. *XXW (Silver) size is available in S-Bar only.
Step 1: Use the hex key to remove the 2 screws at the front of each panel.
Step 2: Slide the panel off the point of the tree.
Step 3: Unscrew all four bolts in the gullet bar and remove the gullet bar.
Step 4: Insert different width of gullet bar. Insert all four bolts by hand then secure. Use the indent in the tree to position the bar facing the right way.
Only SimaTree gullet bars are suitable for Thorowgood saddles. You must NOT use any other bar in your Thorowgood saddle.
The S-Bar and R-Bars are not interchangeable. You must use the correct bar for your saddle model.
Multiple Girthing Options
GP models are fitted with three girth straps. The point (front) strap and second strap are stitched, the third strap is moveable. This changeable girthing arrangement allows saddle stability to be optimised instantly.
Begin by girthing in the neutral position using the second and third billet. (NOTE: This is the same as girthing on the first and third billets on a saddle with a conventional girthing system)
If you find the saddle slips forward, you can use straps 1 and 3
If the back of the saddle lifts away from the horse’s back, move the third strap onto the floating balance position and use straps 2 and 4
For increased stability you can use straps 1 and 4
NEVER girth using positions 1 & 2. This causes saddle instability and potential discomfort for your horse.
Changeable Girth Straps
The moveable girth strap can be positioned on the back ring to achieve optimal saddle stability
Step 1: Feed the strap through the ring with the point upwards and the top side of the strap facing down against the sweat flap.
Step 2: Curl the strap round and through the webbing loop
Step 3: Pull the strap tight ensuring the webbing loop lies flat against the top of the strap. (Reverse the above steps to remove a girth strap).
