The deep rear and slim front gusset shape gives the rider a balanced platform on that kind of build, while the full grain leather offers an instantly broken-in feel from day one, finished with croc-print trim on the flap, cantle and front facing.\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\u003eChangeable Gullet system with R-Bar bars, adjustable across a wide range from narrow\/medium to extra extra wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep rear and slim front gussets, shaped to balance the rider on a horse with uphill conformation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-billet placement, giving a fitter two adjustment options to fine-tune the saddle's position and movement on your horse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree thicknesses of adjustable shoulder blocks, letting a fitter put the thicker block on the side with less muscle so the rider sits square while the horse can still build even muscle underneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface-mounted thigh blocks, giving extra rider support without restricting position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerformance Panel with wool flocking and a Prolite lining, allowing further reflocking adjustments as your horse changes shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonoflap design in full grain leather with croc-print trim, giving a close, minimal-bulk feel between horse and rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis one suits a dressage rider on a horse with an uphill build and asymmetrical shoulder development, where the adjustable blocks and gusset shape can make a genuine difference.
