Fairfax Jump and GP saddles
Performance Panel
Patent: GB2515079. The weight-bearing part of the panel under the rider’s seat is separated from the part under the rider’s knee which lies over the horse’s shoulder, allowing the shoulder independence of movement. Scientific testing shows that this affords the horse improved limb extension, joint flexion and gait symmetry.
Handmade in England
Made in Walsall, England by highly skilled Master Saddlers using the finest English hide and double-oiled butt leather.
British Wool Flocking
100% British wool flocking provides superior softness and comfort for the horse
Changeable Gullet Bars
Seven changeable gullet bar width options, in half width fitting increments, allow the selection of the exact width for the horse’s profile.
Prolite®-lined panel
The wool panels are lined with a layer of Prolite® for proven pressure distribution, while still allowing for traditional re-flocking on site.
Girthing Options
When first assessing the fit, your saddle fitter will start with the neutral girthing position
The forward girthing option is great if the saddle slips forward as the horse moves.
If the saddle slips backwards, you can alter the girth straps so they sit in the back slots.
Adjustable Block Options
If your horse has asymmetrical shoulders, use the slimmer block on the side with the biggest shoulder and a thicker block on the side with less muscle. This will allow you to sit comfortably and squarely while your horse is free to move underneath you, building up muscle without being restricted.
If you have quite short-legs you can use these blocks under the flap to support your legs.
If you have longer legs, remove the lower block to create more room and allow you to feel closer to their horse.
