Description
This saddle has a panel designed specifically for a high wither conformation in order to provide spinal clearance and ensure comfort for your horse while maintaining balance and a close contact feel for the rider.
The dressage-specific seat and moveable under-flap thigh block combine to help you maintain a perfectly balanced and supported dressage position.
- Gorgeous soft leather on all the 'contact points': seat, skirt and knee pads
- Adjustable and changeable Velcro block fine tunes your leg support, and can be re-positioned as your dressage position develops
- Made in England and flocked with 100% British wool

Gullet Bar Widths
XXW*XW / XXWXWW/XWWM/WMN/MNB: 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.
Step 1: Use the hex key to remove the 2 screws at the front of each panel.
Step 2: Slide the panel off the point of the tree.
Step 3: Unscrew all four bolts in the gullet bar and remove the gullet bar.
Step 4: Insert different width of gullet bar. Insert all four bolts by hand then secure. Use the indent in the tree to position the bar facing the right way.
Only SimaTree gullet bars are suitable for Thorowgood saddles. You must NOT use any other bar in your Thorowgood saddle.
The S-Bar and R-Bars are not interchangeable. You must use the correct bar for your saddle model.
Thorowgood Moveable Block dressage saddles have an optional 'point strap' which can be used to improve saddle stability.
Always start by girthing in the neutral position (2 & 3) with the moveable strap positioned behind the point
If the saddle slips forward, remove the Velcro thigh block, move the billet (girth strap) onto the point (1), passing it through the keeper at the bottom. Reinstate the Velcro thigh block back into position.
DO NOT pass the strap under the block and through the keeper when the billet (girth strap) is behind the point (2). This will cause saddle instability.
