About This Saddle

The Harry Dabbs Future GP is a versatile general-purpose saddle designed for riders who enjoy varied riding disciplines. This saddle combines the best features of both jump and dressage saddles, making it an excellent choice for riders transitioning between disciplines or those seeking a single saddle for multiple activities.

Suitability

• Warmbloods & Sport Horses: Stronger, wider-framed horses that need shoulder clearance but have a slight rise in the back.

• Irish Sport Horses (ISH) & Crosses: Horses with good bone, broad ribs, and a slight topline slope rather than a tabletop-flat back.

• Uphill / Rising Toplines: Horses whose backs gradually slope upwards from behind the wither toward the last rib and croup.

• Medium-to-Low Withers: Horses with broader shoulder bases and moderate withers that need an open arch rather than a high, narrow cut-back wither.

Key Benefits

• Innovative Future Panel Design: The panel at the front of the saddle has been cut away to sit comfortably behind the shoulder, enabling unrestricted shoulder movement and improved performance
• Open Head & Spacious Gullet: Provides optimum spinal clearance and prevents pressure points
• Soft Seat: Offers comfort for extended riding sessions across multiple disciplines
• Supportive Knee Pads: LB57 knee blocks and LB91 calf block on Velcro provide stability and security for both jumping and flatwork
• Interchangeable width (Treeclix): Allows for adjustability to accommodate different horse shapes and sizes

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.
