Fairfax Gareth Monoflap Dressage


Developed with World & European medallist Gareth Hughes who wanted a saddle that allowed him to feel a greater connection with his horse without restricting the ability to give the subtlest aids or make minute adjustments.

  • The ‘forward’ seat precisely aligns the rider more ‘in’ over the horse’s centre of balance.
  • The saddle fitter has two girthing options to fine-tune the saddle stability according to the horse’s shape and movement
  • Three thicknesses of adjustable shoulder blocks allow the rider to sit squarely on a horse with asymmetrical shoulders while allowing the horse to move freely underneath, building up muscle without restriction. Use the thicker block on the side with less muscle.
  • Surface mounted thigh blocks give the rider support without restricting their position.

This saddle was designed and tested using pressure mapping and gait analysis.
