{"product_id":"heritage-wh-show-brown-15-5-w","title":"Heritage Bowden VSD GP Brown 15.5\" W","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIts 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.\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\u003eVSD tree for a versatile fit, equally suited to show or working hunter classes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare cantle for extra security and a settled show seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelcro knee and thigh block system, adjustable, interchangeable or removable to suit horse and rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable padded seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt entirely from fine English leathers, fully leather with no suede\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWool flocked panels, adjustable by a qualified fitter as your horse changes shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade by Heritage, English bespoke saddlers based in Walsall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint and balance girth straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage","offers":[{"title":"Brown","offer_id":64448323780985,"sku":"SC 14355","price":750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/3325\/6213\/files\/IMG-5911.jpg?v=1788421131","url":"https:\/\/saddlesdirect.co.uk\/products\/heritage-wh-show-brown-15-5-w","provider":"Saddles Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
