Designed for Cross-Country Performance

Built specifically for riders who demand security and freedom of movement, the Competition Series Monoflap XC offers a streamlined design that reduces bulk beneath the leg and enhances communication with the horse.

The carefully balanced seat helps riders maintain stability across varied terrain, while supportive fixed surface blocks encourage a secure position without feeling restrictive.

Adjustable Fit for Your Horse

One of the key advantages of this saddle is its extensive fitting flexibility. The adjustable gullet system allows width changes from Narrow-Medium through to XX-Wide, making it suitable for horses that change shape throughout the year.

The wool-flocked panels can be adjusted by a qualified saddle fitter to achieve a more customised fit, while multiple girthing configurations help optimise saddle stability and balance.

This model is generally well suited to horses with a standard back profile and average wither shape.

Premium Features

The Competition Series range is known for combining performance with elegant styling. Premium hide-covered flaps provide a luxurious feel and improved rider grip, while contrast piping and welt details create a refined appearance.

The saddle’s monoflap construction offers close contact and improved communication, making it particularly popular among event riders and jumping enthusiasts.
