FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Monarch Tree and gullet system?

The Monarch Tree combined with the interchangeable gullet system allows for precise adjustments to the saddle's width, ensuring an optimal and adaptable fit for your horse as its shape changes with training or condition.

How do I clean and maintain the synthetic leather?

Clean regularly with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a cleaner specifically formulated for synthetic leather. Avoid conventional leather care products.

Is this saddle suitable for eventing as well as dressage?

Yes, the monoflap design and close contact features make it suitable for competitive dressage and event riders who require precise communication with their horse.

What does the monoflap design achieve?

The monoflap design eliminates an extra layer of material under the rider's leg, promoting closer contact and allowing for more direct and refined application of the rider's aids.

Does the saddle come with stirrups and a girth?

The product description does not specify if stirrups and girth are included. These are typically sold separately.

How often should the gullet be adjusted?

The gullet should be checked and adjusted as needed based on changes in your horse's physical condition, muscle development, or seasonal weight fluctuations. Regular professional saddle checks are also recommended.

What is the weight of the saddle?

The saddle is described as lightweight due to its synthetic construction. Specific weight information is not provided but it is designed for ease of handling.

Troubleshooting

Saddle does not fit correctly despite gullet adjustment.

Ensure the gullet plate is fully engaged and correctly positioned. Consult a professional saddle fitter to assess the horse's back shape and overall saddle fit, as tree width is only one component of fit.

Synthetic leather appears dull or marked.

Clean thoroughly with a damp cloth and then apply a specialized synthetic saddle cleaner. Follow product instructions carefully. Avoid using products designed for real leather.

Stirrup bar is stiff or difficult to release.

Gently clean the stirrup bar area with a soft brush to remove any debris. A light application of a silicone-based lubricant may help, but use sparingly and ensure it does not transfer to the leather or flap.
