The Kent & Masters R-Series Low Wither Dressage Saddle is designed specifically for low-withered and flatter-backed horses, including those that are compact or short-coupled. A low head tree and slimline panel design work together to create a stable, balanced fit on horses where saddle stability can often be more challenging. This saddle isn’t just for very wide cob types; it’s designed for any horse with a low wither, regardless of width.

Kent & Masters R-Series Low Wither Dressage Saddle Features:

• Designed for low-wither conformations, including flat-backed and compact horses across a range of widths

• True dressage seat shape designed to support a correct rider position while maintaining a close-contact feel

• Broad, slimline panels providing maximum surface contact with the horse’s back while maintaining closeness

• Velcro knee blocks under the flap allowing riders to position support to suit their leg length and position

• Ghost stitching on the knee roll helping the leather contour neatly around the block for improved comfort and support

• Choice of girthing arrangements allowing a saddle fitter to optimise saddle stability for different horse conformations

About the Kent & Masters R-Series

The Kent & Masters R-Series replaces the previous S-Series, featuring the same proven saddle designs but with new, more natural leather that is softer, more supple, and less heavily treated. This upgraded leather improves rider comfort and gives the saddles a more refined, matt finish, alongside subtle design updates such as new enamel head nails and coloured stirrup loop detailing.
