Just got my thorowgood t6 show jumper today, really pleased with it! But blimey changing the gullet on it was a mission in itself!

Also it came with some 'fish' ? What are these actually for? do the make the saddle narrower or what? :s!
 
They make the panels a little narrower - your saddler will tell you if you need them to make the fit perfect!
 
You would use one shape or the other depending on what shape is left between the horse and the saddle without them. The saddler will put the saddle on without, and run their hands under the saddle to feel if there is anything that needs padding out in the saddle - just an extra method to allow tweeks for slightly differently shaped horses really!
