The Fairfax Classic General Purpose saddle is a luxurious, versatile saddle designed using scientific research and pressure-relieving technology. This particular model features a 17" seat with a Wide (W) gullet, making it specifically suitable for certain horse conformations.
Horse Conformation Suitability
This saddle is ideally suited for horses with:
Low withers/mutton withers: Horses with flat, broad withers that lack definition and blend into the back and neck
Flat back conformation: Typically found on wider, well-muscled horses where muscle is built up on either side of the spine
Round-bodied horses: Horses with broader, more substantial builds that require a wider gullet for proper clearance
Key Benefits for Riders

Comfort: Supportive seat design ensures even long hours in the saddle are comfortable and pleasurable

Important Note: Saddle fitting is crucial. While a saddle model may be designed for a specific horse type, it's always recommended to have a professional saddle fitter assess both the horse and rider to ensure the best possible fit.
