17.5 inch Fairfax Andrew Hoy XC FAH Black 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.

Typically fits:

This saddle typically works on horses with a standard back profile and standard wither.
It features two girth straps that can be used in the five different girth slots to help achieve a better fit.
This saddle has wool-flocked panels, so your fitter can make minor adjustments to the flocking to get the best fit for your horse.
This saddle has a special Fairfax Performance Panel that’s proven to reduce pressure and help your horse move its shoulders and knees more freely over jumps, leading to better clearance. The design separates pressure under the seat from the area over the shoulder, allowing more natural movement.
It also features an adjustable gullet tree, so the width can easily be altered by swapping out the gullet bars.

Please note the below features of this model are as standard from new.
Please check the photos and condition details to see if there are any differences shown such as missing knee blocks for example.

Developed with seven-times Olympian Andrew Hoy to enable him to feel a greater harmony with his horses, the specifically designed seat aligns the rider precisely over the horse’s centre of balance, enabling them both to perform at their best.

The Andrew Hoy Monoflap XC benefits from all the features common to every saddle in the Performance range, plus the following details:

Covered with luxurious full-grain leather, waxed for extra grip.
The unique design and placement of the billets allows your saddle-fitter four girthing options to fine-tune the fit to your horse’s shape and movement.
If a horse has asymmetrical shoulders, two sets of adjustable shoulder blocks allow the rider to sit squarely while allowing the horse to move freely underneath, building up muscle without restriction. Simply use the thicker block on the side with less muscle.
Adjustable and moveable knee blocks under the flap offer custom-made support for riders with shorter legs. Longer legged riders can remove the block to create more room and bring them closer to their horse
