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.\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\u003eForward seat design, positioning the rider over the horse's centre of balance for a secure, connected feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface-mounted thigh blocks, giving support without restricting your leg position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree thicknesses of adjustable shoulder blocks, catering for horses with asymmetrical shoulders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA recess in the flap allows closer contact without rubbing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChangeable R-Bar gullet system, adjustable by a qualified fitter across a wide width range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo girthing options via the billet placement, letting a fitter fine-tune stability to suit your horse's shape and movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWool-flocked panels in full grain leather, giving a supple, pre-broken-in feel from day one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonoflap design, with custom flap length options for different leg lengths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fairfax","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":64500609352057,"sku":"SC 14357","price":1700.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/3325\/6213\/files\/IMG-6468.jpg?v=1790315566","url":"https:\/\/saddlesdirect.co.uk\/products\/fairfax-gareth-hughes-dressage-black-17-5-adj-3","provider":"Saddles Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
