What is the Loxley range?

The Loxley by Bliss range is a fantastic range of performance saddles brought to you by the Bliss of London team. The Loxley range of saddles are wool flocked, offered on a range of trees designed around the complexity of professional saddle fitting. Each type of saddle within the Loxley range has three different types; the standard Loxley, the LX, and the monoflap so there is something to suit everyone.

What tree's are they built on?

• Classic Tree - A wooden tree suited to the more classical Thoroughbred shaped horses
• Warmblood Tree - A wooden tree suited to the more modern warmblood type with high withers and a flat back
• Hoop Tree - A wooden  tree suited to lower withered, rounder horses/ponies
• Adjustable Tree - A plastic tree with interchangeable gullet bars available in sizes Narrow Medium up to XXW. The benefit of the Loxley adjustable tree is it is not just the angle of the tree which alters as you widen the bars, it is also the shape of the headplate, making these super versatile saddles.
• Close contact Tree - A wooden continental style tree which offers a close contact minimal style panel. Suited to horses with a good topline, and most often only used on jump saddles
• Pony Tree - A great tree for ponies starting at 15 inch, available in dressage, GP and jump. This tree has a broad head, and neat profile offering a close contact panel suited to most young riders and their ponies.

What type of horses do they suit?

With the wide selection of trees available, and fully custom options, such as deeper rear gussets, no/half/full front gussets, different panel options etc, a Loxley saddle can be custom built to suit you and your horse.

How adjustable are the adjustable trees?

Loxley Dressage saddles are available with an adjustable tree which is great for horses which change shape. Loxley adjustable trees can be adjusted from a Narrow Medium up to XXW. The great thing about a Loxley adjustable tree is that is it not just the angle of the width that alters, but also the shape of the headplate, which goes from a more A shape in the Medium Narrow, and opens up wider to the upturned u shape of the XXW.

The bars are designed to compliment the broadness of the horses spinal area. As the broadness of the horse increases, it enables the shape of the tree to adapt.

The bars are very easy to alter.
