FAQs
What saddles are compatible with the Genesis Gullet Plate?
The Genesis Gullet Plate is compatible only with saddles built on the Premier Equine Genesis Tree, including models like the Bourges, Rouen, and Biarritz.
How do I determine the correct gullet size for my horse?
It is recommended to use the Premier Equine Measuring Gullet Gauge. This tool, used in conjunction with the gullet plate, helps you select the appropriate size based on your horse's specific conformation.
How often should I check my saddle fit with the gullet plate?
Regular checks are recommended, especially as your horse's age, fitness, and condition change. A professional saddle fitting is advised periodically.
Can I use this gullet plate on saddles not built on the Genesis Tree?
No, this gullet plate is specifically engineered for the Genesis Tree system and will not fit saddles with other tree types.
Are the gullet plate sizes universal?
The gullet plate sizes (Narrow, Medium, Medium Wide, Wide, Extra Wide) are specific to the Premier Equine Genesis Tree system and are color-coded for easy identification within that system.
What is the main benefit of an adjustable gullet plate?
The main benefit is the ability to adapt the saddle's fit to your horse's changing shape over time, ensuring continuous comfort and optimal performance without needing a new saddle.
Troubleshooting
Gullet plate won't fit into the saddle.
Verify that the saddle is indeed built on a Genesis Tree and that you are attempting to fit the correct type of gullet plate. Ensure no debris is obstructing the gullet channel.
Difficulty in selecting the correct size.
Use the Premier Equine Measuring Gullet Gauge specifically designed for this system. If unsure, consult a professional saddle fitter.
