Thorowgood T4 Cob GP MGX Saddles

The Thorowgood T4 Cob GP MGX is a superb choice for anyone with a flat-backed, cobby type. The T4 Cob is a lightweight saddle for everyday use made from lightweight synthetic material, with a suede-effect seat and knee roll for extra grip. They are lightweight, low maintenance and easy to clean. If you prefer a saddle without the suede effect, look at the Thorowgood T8 MGX, a hybrid model that is part leather and part synthetic. The T4 MGX Cob GP works well on flatter-backed cob types that can take a saddle between 17-17.5 inches. If you have a short-backed cob requiring a 16 or 16.5, please ask us for alternative recommendations.
All Thorowgood saddles are wool flocked, meaning your saddle fitter can make minor alterations to them. Furthermore, they also feature an adjustable gullet tree, which allows the saddle to be easily adjusted throughout the year as the horse changes shape. The Thorowgood T4 Cob GP is adjustable from Narrow to Medium to Extra Extra Wide. This saddle takes the S bar, the shorter gullet bar from Thorowgood. These are available to purchase on our website.
The T4 Cob GP also features moveable knee blocks, which can be positioned to suit the rider. In terms of fit for the horse, you also have variable girthing options that can create a better fit by moving the girth straps and utilising the point and balance strap as required. This is ideal for cobs where your saddle may slip or move slightly. By changing the position of the girth straps, you can really help stabilise the saddle.
The Thorowgood T4 Cob GP is a popular model because it is affordable and works well for horses and riders.
