Intended to be the perfect partner to our Impala Pro Jump Saddle. The Impala pro Dressage has the same unique flap design as the Pro Jump, making close contact riding a certainty. Constructed on our 1350 tree as standard but also available on our 1450 tree – your saddle fitter will be able to advise the best tree choice for you & your horse.
Sizes; 16”, 17” & 18”
This saddle was launched in 2006 aimed at providing a saddle with lots of panel surface area to accommodate fit and well-muscled competition horses. It features a cupped pad over a knee block and thigh block adjustability with Velcro.
Sizes: 17", 18"
This brand new Jump GP saddle sits between our petite Impala and the larger Gazelle. It presents a neat secure seat with Velcro knee and thigh blocks for added security. Ample panel ensures good even weight distribution and will suit many horses and riders in the Jump/GP market and fits particularly well on horses with a higher whither.
Sizes: 17" & 18"
We noticed that of late we were being repeatedly asked to make the same modifications to our dressage saddles, on further investigation and talking to our customers it became apparent that we were missing a sector in the dressage market. Well-schooled horses develop a back profile that necessitated a new tree design; here is the result - A serious saddle for the serious rider.
Sizes: 16", 17", & 18"
Shown here in Memel solid with Hide seat and pads
A jumping version of our 1550 GPD saddle, which provides a wider seat with all the benefits. It has ghost pad lines to enable fold in the soft kneepads to ensure comfort and security. This saddle also has adjustable thigh blocks which are held in place by Velcro and has proved to be popular with the hunting fraternity.
Sizes: 17" & 18"
This saddle is same in design as our Suzannah 1650, but is constructed on a tree with a narrower waist, therefore will suit the more petite rider.
Sizes: 16", 17" & 18"
Shown here in Memel solid with Hide seat and pads
This saddle was designed after much demand from our retailers who were familiar with the fit of our Suzannah Dressage saddle. The 1650 GP is an all-purpose saddle constructed on the same tree as the Suzannah with the exception of the stirrup bars being located slightly further forward enabling a more all-purpose riding position.
Sizes: 16", 17" & 18"
This modern single flap saddle has been developed in conjunction with top riders to fulfil the need for closeness to the horse but without compromising on fit, and has a close contact panel. The tree has a flat rake cantle for the more open seat, ideal for X-Country and with a free swinging girthing system it allows fitting flexibility. Shown here in luxurious all covered Mocha hide with matching girth and leathers.
Sizes; 17" & 18"
The International Event, a true general purpose saddle, was first launched over 20 years ago and this design was quickly established as a 'best seller' and remains so to this day.
Sizes; 16", 17" & 18"
This classic jumping saddle can be supplied with either a foam filled or flock filled panel, and represents excellent value for money.
Since its launch on the 286 tree the Jessica has been a true winner. Designed to meet continual demands for a comfortable, affordable and functional dressage saddle, it has been met with constant praise. The primary advantage of this tree is to allow a wider gullet which allows freedom of movement and at the same time increases the bearing area in contact with the horse - giving more opportunity for horse and rider to realise their full potential.
Sizes; 16", , 17", & 18"
Made by one of Walsall’s larger saddlery firms. Very popular and of excellent quality first class leather, beechwood spring trees and flocked pure white lambswool. IDEAL quality speaks for itself but still very sensibly priced .

This saddle benefits from close contact panels that are flocked with pure new wool for a perfect fit, rather than preformed foam as many close-contact saddles. The flat seat allows the necessary freedom for show jumping and cross-country disciplines. The leathers used are the best water-repellent French calf for the seat and kneepads; this provides excellent feel and comfort. The flaps use the best English leather without a print applied to the surface, which means only the finest leathers can be used. The double line of stitching and finishing detail complete the elite close-contact saddle.
Colours:Tan, Australian Nut, Black
Sizes: 17", 18"

This saddle has been designed specifically to overcome the hitherto almost insurmountable problem of pony saddles sliding forward up the neck. This is achieved by the use of a 'Whippy' short felt panel, on a close contact tree. The short or half panel is much thinner than the conventional flocked panel, giving much greater stability.
This type of panel allows the flaps to lay much closer to the pony's flanks because there is no knee roll normally fitted the underside of the conventional sweat flap. This also helps to prevent the saddle sliding forward.
In addition, we fit four girth straps each side, including point and balancing straps, which pull the saddle down more evenly and bring a greater area of the panel into contact with the back. We also recommend the use of 5" wide stubben cord girth that grips the belly and prevents the saddle moving from side to side, and gives greater stability generally.

All our saddles are made from templates of your horses back. The most important of these is the 'wither' template. This enables the saddler not only to get the precise width but also the right shape. This way the front arch of the saddle tree conforms exactly to the shape of your horse. See our fitting page for more information.
If necessary we will lend you a second hand or synthetic saddle while you are waiting the 3 to 5 weeks for your saddle to be made. We carry a stock of over 200 new and used saddles.
We are happy to check your saddle free of charge if required, usually within 6 to 12 weeks of fitting. Horses, like people, change shape. If this happens we will come out, take another template, and adjust your saddle tree accordingly. *(It is not always possible to make the adjustment with the flocking alone). This means the saddle you have made should last the entire riding life of your horse, there should be no reason to change your saddle if the correct adjustments are made.
