Fairfax is the luxury brand to Kent & Masters as well as to the popular budget-friendly Thorowgood line. You can still order a TGood Cob Dressage, yet the Fairfax model was discontinued in 2018.
Description of the saddle model from the Thorowgood website:
“Tailor-made to allow the broader horse to work in comfort.
3 different girthing options ensure total saddle security.
Close-contact panels enable the clear transmission of leg aids, making this the best solution for the low withered horse doing flatwork.
Comes with a large moveable block to help you train your leg into a longer more secure position.
Luxurious suede-effect seat covering and knee pads are non-slip and really comfortable to ride on.
Flocked with 100% British wool.”
This saddle is a rare find, being a popular discontinued model in great shape. Was purchased in February 2021 for a project horse and has been used just a handful of times. Was evaluated by a saddle fitter in March 2021 - who evened out wool flocking and examined for any damages - it’s good to go!
While this saddle is older, it is in great working condition - there are some surface scratches such as on the saddle flap and stirrup flap. Billets have been replaced in the past two years. The cob-type tree fits a variety of horses such as DraftXs with broad backs & low withers, as well as Thoroughbreds that need an open head to the saddle front for large shoulders. Some of the key features are gussetted panels (both front and rear) for improved panel conformity to the horse's back, various billet placement options, and the best feature is the adjustable gullet plate system to interchange tree widths!
Retailed for ,500 brand new.
