About This Saddle

The Harry Dabbs IB is a brand new GP (General Purpose) saddle designed for versatility and comfort. With its sleek design and quality craftsmanship, it is ideal for riders who require a multi-discipline saddle. The IB features the innovative TreeClix adjustable tree system, allowing for custom fit adjustments to accommodate the changing needs of your horse.

Horse Suitability

The IB tree is most effective for horses with the following profile:

• Broad/Flat Back: Horses that are wide through the ribcage and have a flatter longitudinal profile.

• Defined Wither: Unlike "Hoop" trees (like the Harry Dabbs Hunter tree) which are made for horses with almost no wither, the IB tree has enough "head" to accommodate a horse that still has a distinct wither peak.

• Muscular Shoulders: The tree is designed to provide extra room around the base of the wither and the shoulder blades, making it excellent for horses that feel "pinched" in standard trees despite being wide.

• A major benefit of the IB Tree is the twist. Usually, wide saddles force the rider's legs into a wide, uncomfortable position. The IB Tree is often paired with a narrower twist, allowing you to sit on a very wide horse without feeling like you're doing the splits.
