Did You Know? – Key Features in a Kent & Masters Saddle 🐴✨

🎥 In this video, we’ll take a look at the different adjustment options available in Kent & Masters saddles, and how they can help you achieve the perfect fit for your horse.

Kent & Masters saddles are designed with comfort, flexibility, and practicality in mind, offering a range of fitting features that make them a popular choice for both horse owners and saddle fitters. 💙

When choosing or fitting a Kent & Masters saddle, there are a few key areas that can make a big difference in how the saddle performs.

Adjustable Gullet Systems 🔧

One of the standout features of Kent & Masters saddles is the changeable gullet bar system.

This allows the width of the saddle to be adjusted to suit your horse’s shape, both now and as they change over time.

This is especially helpful for:

🐴 Horses building topline and muscle
⚖️ Horses gaining or losing condition
🔄 Horses that change shape seasonally
📈 Riders wanting long-term fit flexibility

Having an adjustable gullet means the saddle can evolve with your horse, rather than needing replacing.

Panel Design and Flocking Options 🐑🪶

Kent & Masters saddles are often available in different fit options such as low, standard and high wither models. All Kent and Masters saddles are fitted with wool flocked panels, which are ideal for ongoing adjustments.

✨ Wool flocking can be altered by a qualified saddle fitter to fine-tune balance and comfort as your horse develops.

Benefits include:

🧩 Even pressure distribution
💙 Improved comfort along the back
🔧 Adjustability over the saddle’s lifetime

Wool flocking is a key reason these saddles are so popular for horses with changing shapes.

Knee Blocks and Rider Support 🦵

Kent & Masters saddles are designed to support correct rider position, and many models offer moveable knee blocks.

Depending on the style, you may find:

🔄 Velcro moveable blocks, allowing a customised feel
🔒 Secure support to help stabilise the leg
✨ Options suited to different disciplines and rider preferences

Moveable blocks are ideal for riders wanting flexibility, while still maintaining comfort and security.

Girthing Options and Saddle Stability 🎯

Kent & Masters saddles often include multiple girthing arrangements to improve stability and fit.

Some models may feature:

📌 A point strap, helping prevent the saddle from slipping back
⚖️ A neutral strap, for a standard girthing position
🎯 A balance strap, supporting even weight distribution and stability

These options allow fitters to select the best configuration depending on the horse’s build and movement.
