Compared to our Standard GP model, the Compact GP is compact for its size, has a neat seat, slimmer rear gussets and the tree is shorter and slightly flatter on the underside. This saddle is ideal for shorter backed, croup high or flat backed horses. It is a very good option for the petite rider on a large pony/small horse. Ghosted stitching allows knee pad to contour over the knee-roll and the hide-covered calf pad make this a high comfort GP. Cut forward enough to accommodate a jumping leg position. Open-headed tree and well-balanced panel make this a very universal fitting saddle. TAKES AN R-BAR
