The Laureate Flocked uses real wool flocked panels instead of integrated foam panels. Wool flocking conforms more closely to an individual horse's back shape over time and can be adjusted by a professional saddle fitter for a personalised fit.

Yes. Qualified saddle fitters can add or remove wool flocking to adjust the saddle's fit as your horse's musculature changes — a major advantage over fixed-foam panel saddles.

Yes. The grippy covered leather, forward flap, and balanced seat make this saddle appropriate for both schooling and competition in jumping and forward-seat disciplines.

A Regular width gullet is included. The IGP system supports Narrow, Medium, Medium Wide, and X-Wide gullet plates, all sold separately.

Condition after every few rides during heavy use, or at least once a month. Regular conditioning maintains the leather's grip, suppleness, and longevity.
