Kent & Masters Pony

Original
Pony
Standard Wither and Low Wither
Changeable Gullet 'S' Bar

Designed for short, flat backs this saddle will take children through their pony riding years whatever activities and disciplines they enjoy.

This saddle is available in one panel profile (standard) but thanks to the SimaTree S-Bar can be adjusted to suit low wither and standard wither fits.

  • The shape helps encourage an independent seat in young riders.
  • Velcro knee rolls under the flap can be positioned to suit leg length and position.
  • Five girthing options which allows saddle stability to be optimised instantly on a variety of conformations
  • This saddle takes the SimaTree S-Bar and so is suitable for ponies with a medium or low wither. A saddle fitter can usually achieve a good fit on a variety of conformations, thanks to the open-headed tree and versatile panel design which is flocked with English wool.

Changeable Gullet Bar Icon

Changeable gullet bar

A changeable gullet bar allows you or your saddle fitter to modify the width of the saddle’s gullet to suit the horse’s wither profile as the horse changes shape with either exercise, muscle development, maturity or rest. There are 8 options in the short S-bar and 7 in the long R-bar.

The Campaign for Wool

100% 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

Girthing Information

The Kent & Masters Pony Club Saddle (and Pony Club Long Leg) offers the following FIVE girthing options to fine-tune the fit of your pony saddle.

Your saddle fitter will begin in the neutral position.

NOTE this is the same as girthing on the first and third billets on a saddle with a conventional girthing system

If the saddle slips forward the fitter has the option to use the point (first) strap and the third strap

If the saddle is still unstable, the point (first) strap can be locked by threading it through the loop on the sweat flap

If the problem is that the saddle lifts at the back, you can move the third strap to the floating balance ring

The fifth option is to girth on the point strap and the floating balance ring

NEVER girth using the point strap and the first strap. This will cause saddle instability and discomfort for your pony

Moveable Knee Block
This saddle features a Velcro knee block that can be adjusted to suit the leg support your need. If you prefer to ride with shorter stirrups, or have short legs, position the knee block higher up.
