Expert Saddle Fitter’s Overview & Fit Guide

Developed in conjunction with showing legend Marjorie Ramsay, the Ideal Ramsay Show Saddle is renowned for outstanding performance and exceptional presentation in the show ring. Engineered specifically for smaller ponies and young riders, this 14-inch model is designed to sit ultra-close to the pony’s back, delivering superior stability, balance, and rider position.

Equine Fit Profile

• Close-Contact Flat Panels: Features extra-flat wool-flocked panels that keep the center of gravity low and close to the pony’s back, creating a neat, elegant outline without added bulk.

• Wide Tree Architecture: Built on a Wide tree with a 5.25-inch inside gullet, making it an excellent choice for wide show ponies, cobs, and native breeds needing broad weight distribution across the back.

• Adjustable Wool Flocking: Pure wool flocking allows your independent saddle fitter to fine-tune panel balance directly on-site as your pony’s fitness or seasonal condition changes.

Rider Security & Position

• Narrow Twist & Deeper Seat: Designed with a narrow twist to promote a natural, drop-down leg position, paired with a deeper seat for added rider security.

• Soft Roll Comfort & Removable Blocks: Features super-soft leather knee and calf rolls, along with hook-and-loop removable knee blocks to customize leg support for developing riders.

Saddle Condition Report

• Overall Grade: Grade 5 – Pre-owned saddle in average condition, showing clear, visible signs of regular use.

• Wear Notes: Moderate stirrup leather wear on both flaps; general wear across the seat; missing pin badge insert on the right-hand skirt.

• Inspection Status: Internal tree, stitching, billets, and wool panels fully checked and verified 100% structurally sound by our workshop technicians.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

General & Saddle Fit

Who is the Ideal Ramsay 14″ seat size best suited for?

A 14-inch seat combined with a short 13.75-inch flap length is tailored specifically for young children, lead rein riders, and first-ridden combinations on small ponies, ensuring the saddle stays correctly positioned behind the shoulder without extending past the last rib.

What makes the Ramsay model unique for showing?

Designed with showing icon Marjorie Ramsay, this model features exceptionally flat wool panels that eliminate excess bulk beneath the rider, giving a streamlined silhouette that highlights the pony’s conformation in front of show judges.

What does “Grade 5 Condition” mean for this listing?

Grade 5 indicates a pre-owned saddle in average condition showing obvious signs of cosmetic use. On this Ideal Ramsay, this includes moderate flap wear, general seat wear, and a missing right-side pin badge insert, while remaining 100% structurally sound.
