Designed for Cob-Type and Low-Withered Horses

The Kent & Masters Original Cob GP was developed with broader, rounder horses in mind. Its flatter tree profile is designed to follow a flatter back shape, while the slim-line panels help keep the saddle relatively close to the horse.

This can make it an attractive option for riders looking for a cob saddle, low-wither GP saddle or adjustable general-purpose saddle.

As every horse is different, the saddle should always be assessed by a qualified saddle fitter before regular use.

Adjustable Fit

One of the biggest advantages of this saddle is its adjustable design.

The interchangeable gullet system allows the width to be changed from Narrow Medium through to XX Wide, giving you more flexibility if your horse changes shape with age, fitness, workload or seasonal condition.

The saddle is currently fitted with an XW–XXW bar.

The wool-flocked panels can also be assessed and adjusted by a qualified saddle fitter where appropriate. This provides another useful way of fine-tuning the fit.

Comfortable General-Purpose Design

This is an everyday GP saddle rather than a highly specialised competition saddle. That makes it a good option for riders who want one saddle that can handle several activities.

The design includes:

• A medium-depth, versatile seat
• Dual flap construction
• Positionable Velcro knee blocks
• Variable girthing options
• Flatter tree profile
• Slim-line panels
• Wool-flocked panels
• Adjustable gullet system
• Leather construction

The knee blocks can be positioned to suit the rider’s preferred leg position, while the different girthing options allow the saddle to be configured for greater stability.

Ideal for Everyday Riding

The Original Cob GP MGX is particularly suited to riders who spend their time hacking, schooling, riding at home or taking part in riding-club activities.

Its GP design also provides enough versatility for riders who occasionally enjoy jumping, making it a practical choice when you don’t want a highly specialised saddle.

For riders in the UK, USA, Europe and Australia, it can also be an appealing option when looking for a quality used Kent & Masters saddle without the price of buying new.

Our View

We think this is a particularly useful saddle for a rider who wants versatility and adjustability.

The combination of a flatter S Bar tree, low-wither profile, adjustable gullet and slim panels makes it worth considering for a suitable cob or broader horse. The 17.5-inch seat also provides a comfortable amount of room for the rider without making the saddle unnecessarily bulky.

For everyday hacking, schooling and riding-club use, it offers a straightforward and adaptable setup.
