S-Series Universal GPD

Colour Black, Brown
Seat Size 17, 17½, 18
Changeable Gullet R-Bar
Series S-Series
Conformation Standard Wither

This GPD saddle will suit you if you prefer to concentrate on flatwork, dressage and hacking instead of jumping. It has a generous seat for riders who like the feel of ‘more room’ in the seat, or are slightly wider in the hips.

  • Straighter cut and longer flaps than the Universal GP accommodate the longer leg position required for flatwork.
  • A generous panel with a good bearing surface, and wide channel for spine clearance.
  • While this saddle has a standard-wither gullet depth, it offers a very universal fit for a variety of conformations.
  • A wider, flatter seat, ideal for the fuller figure.
  • Velcro knee rolls under the flap can be positioned to suit your leg length and position.
  • Ghosted stitching on the knee pad helps it contour neatly around the block for added comfort.
  • Four girthing arrangements allow saddle stability to be optimised instantly (see girthing options below).

All Kent & Masters saddles share the features below. In addition, S-Series saddles benefits from higher-specification design details for a truly luxurious feel and appearance, such as quality hide leather on the seat, skirt & knee pad.

Campaign for Real Wool100% British wool flocking

Wool is a natural fibre and provides superior softness and comfort for the horse because it moulds and settles quickly, giving optimum panel contact with the horse’s back. Two reinforced flocking slots make it easy for your saddle fitter to do any necessary adjustments to fit on-site
