This one is built on Black Country's Maxi Cob tree in an 18\" seat and 2XW width, made with broad, chunky types in mind, and it has been lightly used and well looked after. Handmade in Walsall from English leather, it has the supportive, quality feel Black Country is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit \u0026amp; feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18\" seat on a wood laminated spring tree, which gives a little flex and comfort under the rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral purpose design, set up for flatwork and jumping alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelcro adjustable knee blocks, so the support can be moved to suit your leg length and position, plus a fixed thigh block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaxi Cob tree in a 2XW with a low wither profile, suited to broader horses with lower withers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 front gussets, giving support while accommodating bigger shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% wool flocked panels, which a fitter can adjust to fine-tune the fit as your horse changes shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle and balance girthing, with the option of adding a point strap (this would need to be stitched in by a fitter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish leather in a rich brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt'll suit a broad, low-withered horse or cob, with a rider who wants one saddle that can do a bit of everything.
