Although the seat is true to size, its neat design combined with the slimline panels offers a more 'compact' feel compared to our T9 Original GP. Petite riders, those with narrower hips or riders who don’t like an 'open-seat feel' may feel it suits them better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"pu-table\" style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0;border:0;box-shadow:none;outline:none;background:none;table-layout:fixed;margin:0 0 1em\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:0;padding:0.4em 0.75em 0.4em 0;opacity:0.65;vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.16);border-bottom:1px solid color-mix(in srgb,currentColor 12%,transparent)\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:0;padding:0.4em 0;vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.16);border-bottom:1px solid color-mix(in srgb,currentColor 12%,transparent)\"\u003eBlack, Brown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:0;padding:0.4em 0.75em 0.4em 0;opacity:0.65;vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.16);border-bottom:1px solid color-mix(in srgb,currentColor 12%,transparent)\"\u003eChangeable Gullet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:0;padding:0.4em 0;vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.16);border-bottom:1px solid color-mix(in srgb,currentColor 12%,transparent)\"\u003eN\/M to XW\/XXW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:0;padding:0.4em 0.75em 0.4em 0;opacity:0.65;vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.16);border-bottom:1px solid color-mix(in srgb,currentColor 12%,transparent)\"\u003eGullet Bar Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:0;padding:0.4em 0;vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.16);border-bottom:1px solid color-mix(in srgb,currentColor 12%,transparent)\"\u003eR-Bar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:0;padding:0.4em 0.75em 0.4em 0;opacity:0.65;vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.16);border-bottom:1px solid color-mix(in srgb,currentColor 12%,transparent)\"\u003eConformation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:0;padding:0.4em 0;vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.16);border-bottom:1px solid color-mix(in srgb,currentColor 12%,transparent)\"\u003eMedium Wither\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:0;padding:0.4em 0.75em 0.4em 0;opacity:0.65;vertical-align:top\"\u003eSizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:0;padding:0.4em 0;vertical-align:top\"\u003e17\", 17½\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:1em 0\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGorgeous soft leather on all the 'contact points': seat, skirt and knee pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe flap is forward cut enough to allow for jumping and cross-country, as well as schooling and hacking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable and changeable Velcro knee block to fine tune leg support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in England and flocked with 100% British wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eEasily change the gullet bar to best fit the width of the horse’s withers\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003ch6\u003eGullet Bar Widths\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXXW*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXW \/ XXW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eW\/XW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM\/W\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eN\/M\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:1em 0\"\u003eNB: There are two gullet bar lengths (R and S type) to suit the specific tree designs. *XXW (Silver) size is available in S-Bar only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:1em 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/0823\/2016\/files\/Gullet_Bar_Change_Step_1.jpg?v=1749227187\" alt=\"Gullet Bar Change -
