The Easy-Change Gullet System allows you to change your saddle's fit to suit your horse's changing shape. You can alter the fit of your saddle over your horse's wither by changing the gullet plate in the head of the saddle. There are six different fractional fit gullets to choose from, ranging from Narrow to Extra Wide.

The CAIR Panel System replaces the flocking in a saddle with air panels. The CAIR air panels in the saddle will evenly distribute your weight across the entire length of the panel virtually eliminating pressure points and,therefore, maximising the bearing area on the horse's back.
