One of the key features of all Fairfax Saddles, including the Fairfax Classic GP saddle is its adjustable gullet system.

This promotes better muscle development in the horse's back and helps prevent discomfort or injury.

Saddle Banker Yazmynn has swapped over to the Fairfax Classic GP, Hear her feedback on the saddle here;

'Before I started working at The Saddle Bank I was doing the recognising saddle fit issues course and I noticed my horse was not happy in her old saddle, so I spoke to the rest of the team about some recommendations and a fitting appointment.

Since purchasing my new Fairfax GP saddle, my horse is so much happier. The length of her stride has increased and her movement has improved so much in just a couple of months. She is now able to lift through her back as she feels so much more comfortable and not restricted at all.

I also find the GP so comfortable and enables me to sit correctly.

I chose the Fairfax GP as it fitted my horse the best out of the other ones I tried and she was instantly happier in it. It also has an adjustable gullet system which I like as the width of the saddle can easily be adjusted as my horse changes shape.'
