This changeable gullet lark

[Tink_87]

I'm on the hunt for dressage saddles for two of the horses, and a friend suggested getting a saddle with changeable gullets. Surely it's not that simple? One saddle, two gullets and both horses have a dressage saddle..



Could anyone explain them to me?

It is easy!! Just need a screwdriver and for the first couple of times you might need a friend to help but now I can easily change my gullets (horse likes to change shape...ALOT!!) alone and quickly. It's literally unscrewing 6 screws each side and popping out the gullet and replacing it.

It IS easy enough to do.... but....

Just because you can change the gullet to make the saddle the right width doesn't mean the saddle will fit both horses. It might need a bit of flocking here and there to fit the horses individually.

It is easy, but it is fiddly and takes a few minutes. I know that I for one would be too lazy to change it every day!!

Agreed. I know I'm perfectly happy to change mine every few months but as galaxy says I doubt I'd be chuffed at doing it more often for different horses.

Hmm, think I'll stick to buying two, sounds too fiddly for me!! Thanks for the info though

i ahve a wintec 2000 and use it on narrow pointers and chunky cobs, sometimes changing it 3/4 times in a morning. Once you get the nack, its seriously easy!
