It suits a rider who wants one saddle that can do a bit of everything, from hacking and flatwork through to the odd dressage test, without needing a saddle for each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit \u0026amp; feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional British wood-laminated spring tree, fixed rather than adjustable, built to a wide XW fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThigh and knee blocks as standard, giving the extra support that suits dressage work as well as general riding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% wool flocked panels, adjustable and rebalanced by a fitter over time as your horse changes shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cut flap that reads cosmetically closer to a dressage or show saddle while still keeping the versatility of a GP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint-and-balance strap girthing, distributing pressure well back from the girth area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis one suits a rider who wants a genuine do-it-all saddle for a horse with a wider back, rather than committing to a dedicated dressage or jump design.
