Thorowgood T4 MGC Compact GP Black 17" ADJ

Vendor: Thorowgood

Type: GP

Price:

525.00

This Thorowgood T4 Compact GP combines a drop panel at the front with a compact panel at the back. That gives it wither support up front while keeping it neat on a shorter back. The seat is neater than a standard GP, which makes it a favourite with petite riders. It's light, easy to care for and comfortable for everything from schooling and hacking to a bit of jumping.

Fit & feel

* Neater seat with a suede-effect finish for extra grip and security

* Drop panel at the front to support the wither, with a compact panel at the back for a shorter-backed horse

* 100% British wool-flocked panels, which a fitter can adjust to fine-tune the fit as your horse changes shape

* Changeable gullet using Thorowgood's R-Bar system: choose your gullet bar size and we'll fit it for you, and it can be swapped again later if your horse changes

* Velcro adjustable knee and calf blocks, so you can position your leg support exactly where you want it

* Three girth straps: a fixed point strap, a fixed middle strap and a third strap that moves between a second middle position and a balance position, giving plenty of girthing combinations to help keep the saddle stable

* Durable synthetic construction that's light to carry and easy to clean

The tree is quite shapey, so this one suits a horse or pony with some shape through the back rather than a flat-backed type. It's a great match for a shorter-backed horse ridden by someone who prefers a neater seat. If your horse has a little more length to spare, try the Thorowgood T4 Original GP alongside it and compare how the longer panel and fuller seat sit and feel.

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.
