The Arena All Purpose is a versatile GP for riders who hack, school and enjoy a bit of jumping. It's built on Arena's CAIR panels and EASY-CHANGE adjustable gullet, so it can be adapted to suit your horse as they change shape. It combines a European leather seat, knee pads and flaps with an easy-care synthetic panel underneath.

Fit & feel

* Balanced, supportive seat for a secure position on the flat and over small fences.

* Velcro knee and calf blocks, which you can reposition to suit your leg length and position.

* Full front gussets.

* CAIR Cushion System on a drop panel: sealed, air-filled panels in place of wool flocking. They're designed to spread your weight along the length of the panel and move with your horse as they work. They're fully sealed and never need inflating.

* EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution: interchangeable gullet bars from medium narrow to extra wide plus a riser system. A qualified fitter can adapt the saddle as your horse changes shape, with no permanent changes. Tell us which gullet bar you need and we'll fit it before it goes out.

* Point, middle and balance girthing options.

* European leather seat, knee pads, sweat flaps and panel tops, with a low-maintenance synthetic panel underneath.

This saddle suits a horse with a standard wither and a rider who wants one adjustable saddle that covers a bit of everything. If you're narrowing down adjustable GPs, trial it alongside the GFS Monarch GP, which is also adjustable but on wool-flocked panels with a slightly different tree shape, to compare how CAIR and flocking sit on your horse. One tip with CAIR panels: they'll look a little perched when you first put the saddle on, so girth it up and let it settle before judging how it sits.

As ever, that's a starting point for narrowing things down rather than a fit guarantee, so we'd recommend trialling it alongside an appointment with a fitter to see how it sits on your horse.
