The Bowden is Heritage's versatile GP saddle, built entirely from fine English leathers with a really comfortable padded seat that makes it just as at home in the ring as it is out hacking or hunting. This one is built on the VSD tree, Heritage's more versatile option, which is exactly why it works equally well as a show or working hunter saddle. It's finished with a square cantle on the seat.

Its stand-out feature is the Velcro knee and thigh block system: rather than fixed rolls, the blocks attach on Velcro so you can reposition, swap or remove them entirely as your horse or rider's needs change, (or for the show ring) giving it a level of adaptability a traditional fixed-block saddle can't match.

Fit & feel

VSD tree for a versatile fit, equally suited to show or working hunter classes

Square cantle for extra security and a settled show seat

Velcro knee and thigh block system, adjustable, interchangeable or removable to suit horse and rider

Comfortable padded seat

Built entirely from fine English leathers, fully leather with no suede

Wool flocked panels, adjustable by a qualified fitter as your horse changes shape

Handmade by Heritage, English bespoke saddlers based in Walsall

Point and balance girth straps

The Bowden tends to suit native and cob-type ponies going in working hunter or show classes who need a bit more security through the seat, and it's a good one to trial against a fixed-block or suede-seat show saddle to see which set-up your rider gets on with best.

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 pony.
