With a wider, flatter seat profile, it’s an excellent option for riders who prefer a more open feel or who find compact seat shapes restrictive. Versatile and comfortable, it suits a wide range of horses and riders looking for a balanced general-purpose saddle.

About the Kent & Masters R-Series

The Kent & Masters R-Series replaces the previous S-Series, featuring the same proven saddle designs but with new, more natural leather that is softer, more supple, and less heavily treated. This upgraded leather improves rider comfort and gives the saddles a more refined, matt finish, alongside subtle design updates such as new enamel head nails and coloured stirrup loop detailing.
