Designed with Gareth Hughes and developed using pressure mapping and gait analysis, this Fairfax dressage saddle puts you in a forward seat position over your horse's centre of balance. It's built for riders who want a genuinely close, secure connection in a monoflap saddle without sacrificing support, and the flap length can be tailored to suit different leg lengths.

Fit & feel

Forward seat design, positioning the rider over the horse's centre of balance for a secure, connected feel.

Surface-mounted thigh blocks, giving support without restricting your leg position.

Three thicknesses of adjustable shoulder blocks, catering for horses with asymmetrical shoulders.

A recess in the flap allows closer contact without rubbing.

Changeable R-Bar gullet system, adjustable by a qualified fitter across a wide width range.

Two girthing options via the billet placement, letting a fitter fine-tune stability to suit your horse's shape and movement.

Wool-flocked panels in full grain leather, giving a supple, pre-broken-in feel from day one.

Monoflap design, with custom flap length options for different leg lengths.

This one suits a dressage rider after a close, forward-seat feel with genuine adjustability, particularly useful for horses with uneven shoulder development. If you wanted to compare a more traditional fixed knee block against Fairfax's surface-mounted thigh block design, the Albion K2 Dressage Genesis is worth trialling alongside it. As ever, that's a starting point for narrowing things down rather than a fit guarantee, so we'd recommend trialling it alongside an appointment with a fitter to see how it sits on your horse.
