A Practical Saddle for Cob-Type Horses
The Kent & Masters Original Cob GP MGX was created with wider, flatter-backed horses in mind. If your horse has a low wither and a more rounded cob-type build, the shape of this saddle may be particularly useful.
The flatter tree is designed to follow a flatter back profile, while the slim panels help keep the saddle feeling closer to the horse. This can be especially appealing to riders who prefer a more connected feel rather than a bulky saddle.
The saddle also has adjustable girthing options, allowing the girth arrangement to be changed to help improve stability and balance.
Adjustable Fit for Changing Horse Shapes
One of the biggest advantages of this model is its adjustable gullet system.
The saddle accepts gullet bars ranging from Narrow Medium through to XX Wide, giving you the ability to change the width when appropriate. This can be useful for horses whose shape changes with age, fitness, seasonal condition or changes in workload.
The saddle is currently fitted with an XW-XXW bar.
Because every horse is different, we always recommend having the saddle assessed by a qualified saddle fitter before use. An adjustable saddle still needs to be correctly matched to the individual horse.
Comfortable Design for Everyday Riding
The Original Cob GP MGX is a genuinely versatile saddle. It can work well for riders who spend their time doing a mixture of activities rather than focusing on just one discipline.
It features:
- A supportive GP seat
- Adjustable Velcro knee blocks
- Dual-flap construction
- Changeable girthing options
- Adjustable gullet system
- Slim, straight-cut panels
- Wool-flocked panels
- Close-contact feel
- Low-wither tree profile
The adjustable knee blocks can be positioned to suit the rider’s leg position, giving you the freedom to create a more comfortable setup.
What Can You Use It For?
This 17 inch Kent & Masters Cob GP saddle is a useful all-rounder for:
- Everyday hacking
- General schooling
- Riding club activities
- Flatwork
- Leisure riding
- Some jumping and cross-country work
It is particularly appealing if you want one saddle that can handle a variety of everyday riding rather than buying a discipline-specific saddle.

Why Consider a Used Kent & Masters Saddle?
Buying a quality pre-owned saddle can be a smart option for riders who want a reputable design without paying the price of a brand-new model.
This Kent & Masters Original Cob GP MGX combines leather construction with an adjustable tree, wool flocking and practical fitting features. For owners of cob-type horses, the ability to change the gullet width can be particularly useful when the horse’s condition changes over time.
For buyers in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia, importing a quality pre-owned saddle from the UK can also be an attractive alternative to searching locally for a particular size and specification.

Saddle Fitting Advice
