Thorowgood T4 Cob GP MGX 17.5″ Adjustable Synthetic Saddle – Black

Finding a lightweight, low-maintenance saddle for a wide or low-withered horse can be a challenge. The Thorowgood T4 Cob GP MGX is engineered specifically for broader, flatter-backed builds. Combining a low-wither tree, slim wool-flocked panels, and durable synthetic materials, it offers a secure, close-contact feel without the heavy weight of traditional leather—making it an ideal choice for everyday schooling, trail rides, and riding club events.

At Best Horse Saddle Shop, our workshop team hand-inspects every pre-owned saddle before listing. This 17.5″ T4 Cob GP is fully structurally sound, completely functional, and ready to offer everyday reliability at a practical price point.

Designed for Flatter Backs & Broader Builds

The Thorowgood T4 Cob GP is built around broader equine anatomy to eliminate rolling, pinching, or sitting “perched” high over the spine:

• Flatter Tree Profile: Designed specifically to follow flat, level toplines and low-wither profiles without twisting or slipping.

• Wool-Flocked Panels: Natural wool flocking allows your local saddle fitter to make precise balance tweaks as your horse’s topline evolves through training or seasonal changes.

• S-Bar Changeable Gullet: Swapping gullet bars from Narrow-Medium up to XX-Wide takes minutes, making seasonal weight shifts simple to manage.

• Lightweight & Easy-Care: The synthetic construction makes cleaning effortless—simply wipe down with a damp cloth after rides—while keeping the total weight easy on your horse’s back.

• Custom Leg & Girthing Setup: Features movable Velcro knee blocks and variable girthing options to stabilize the saddle on rounder barrels.
