Black Country GP Event Black 17" W

Vendor: Black Country

Type: Jump

Price:

995.00

This Black Country GP Event is one of the brand's most popular all-round saddles, built to handle flatwork and jumping in the same saddle rather than specialising in one discipline. This one is on Black Country's Native tree shape, which is designed with native pony and cob types in mind, suiting a broader wither and a bit more curve through the back than a flat-profile horse.

Fit & feel

* Fixed wood-laminated British spring tree, built on Black Country's Native tree shape for native and cob-type horses with a rounder back and wither

* Thigh blocks as standard, giving a stable leg position for both flatwork and jumping

* Wool flocked panels, which a fitter can adjust and rebalance as your horse's shape changes over time

* Point and balance girth straps, a configuration Black Country favours for trickier native and cob shapes

* General purpose flap and seat suited to a mix of disciplines rather than a dedicated dressage or jump cut

This one suits a native or cob-type horse whose rider wants one saddle that can turn its hand to schooling, hacking and the odd jumping session. If you wanted to compare something with a similar cob-friendly build from another brand, the Kent & Masters Original Cob GP is worth trying alongside it.

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.
