18 inch Thorowgood T4 Compact GP High Wither HGC Brown Adjustable

Saddles are permitted on a 5 day UK mainland trial. Simply add the saddle to your basket and proceed to check out. The trial starts on the day you receive the saddle.
Full payment is taken for the saddle at the point of check out. If the saddle fits – great! No further action required.

Is your fitter not coming until next week? No problem!
Select your delivery date at check out. Please note we recommend having the saddle delivered 2 working days before your saddle fitting appointment in case of any unexpected delays with the courier.

Sadly we are not able to offer a trial internationally at present. However, most of our international clients still find it cheaper to import a quality saddle from UK than to source one in their own country.

This saddle is classed as GRADE 5: Used saddle. Average condition. Showing obvious signs of use and wear. Will likely include scuffs/marks/discolouration as highlighted in photos.

This saddle has a slightly flatter tree on the underside and compact panels that allow the rider to feel closer to the horse, while still being deep enough to ensure maxiumum clearance along the length of the spine of a high-wither conformation. Although the seat is true to size, it offers a different feel to our Original GP and petite riders or those with narrower hips may feel it suits them better. This saddle is ideal for high withered horses and those with wide spinal processes. Super-comfy deeper seat that gives you a little extra in-saddle security and locates you centrally for balance and control. Versatile GP that's forward enough cut to allow for jumping and cross-country as well as schooling and hacking. Fully adjustable knee and calf blocks provide customised leg support. Luxurious suede-effect seat covering and knee pads are non-slip and really comfortable to ride on. Flocked with 100% British wool. Recommended by the Veteran Horse Society and the Veteran Welfare Trust.

A super versatile synthetic general purpose saddle, perfect for everyday use with the option to swap the gullet bar to change the width as the horse changes shape throughout the year.
