The traditional Show Hunter is a real showman’s saddle. With the same profile as the Hartley the straight cut is styled to enhance the horse’s appearance whilst the feature of a knee roll gives the rider that little extra security in the ring. Unlike many show saddles this is still wool flocked to allow for greater bearing pressure and fitting adjustment. The low cantle gives a flatter seat allowing flexibility in a multitude of rider sizes
Produced in a variety of leathers and pad designs - you choose as individual as you require. Please call 02083080500 for alternative options.
Comes with tree 28 as standard and Vintage leather

Developed from our range of show saddles but with a more forward cut flap that will allow the rider to shorten their stirrups to provide the suitable security needed for jumping, especially in working hunter classes whilst still with an aesthetically pleasing profile to enhance the horse for showing.
The style of this saddle also lends itself well as a general purpose saddle but with a flatter seat allowing more room. Working particularly well on cobs and native breeds. This saddle is ideal for cobs, connemaras and natives.

Developed for the adult show competitor, this saddle is designed on the Jessica tree with a straight show cut flap and panel.
. The Hartley Show Saddle has become a huge success. It is designed with a considerable amount of input from the showing world with the emphasis on creating a saddle that has a close profile on the horse or pony.
Unlike many show saddles, this is still pure wool-flocked to allow for greater bearing pressure and fitting adjustment. The low cantle gives a flatter seat allowing flexibility in a multitude of rider sizes. Built on a tree best suited for “showy types” everything about this saddle is designed to show off the horse rather than the saddle.
The Hartley does not have a knee block resulting in a neat and tidy appearance from the front.

This saddle was developed in conjunction with Marjorie Ramsay and is offered on general release with her kind permission.
The saddle is designed to sit close to the horse by the use of very flat panels. Removable Velcro knee rolls are available on this saddle on request. Please note that 12" - 13.5" are special order (please see expert comments below).
The Ideal Ramsay can be made on a 12", 13" or 13.5" tree if required. If ordered in this size they use a very similar tree which is has a slightly narrower seat to balance such a small saddle.
