It seems that we are seeing more and more different shapes of horses to fit! Up until now there were not a lot of choices that offered a good fit as well as a reasonable price. We are happy to present the Thorowgood T6 saddles! These are remarkably well designed saddles, made by master saddlers at the Haistilow Saddle Company in England. The T6 is made of a micro fiber material that looks and feels very much like leather, with the advantage of easy care and cleaning.
Not only do these saddles offer the flexibility of easy to change gullet plates, in addition, the saddle comes with the "Fish System" - an oblong plastic plate that slides into the saddle under the tree points for more adjustability. This is a great option if you have a horse that is slightly out of condition, or has lost a bit of weight when you don't feel it necessary to change the tree plate to a new size. The generous weight bearing flocked panels can easily be re-fitted and adjusted by a saddle fitter.
The T6 also has wonderful girthing features. The billets are mounted on nylon loops so they are extremely easy to change, and also, you can easily move the billet from a central position to a "point billet" position if desired. The rear billet is on a 'swing billet' system to offer even and secure girth pressure.
The soft knee blocks are movable to allow for many different configurations of riders and are particularly nice if several riders have to share a saddle.
We feel that this is an excellent fitting and moderately priced saddle that can give you all the features of a much more expensive saddle.
