Kent & Masters S-Series Low Profile Dressage Moveable Block 16.5″ Adjustable Leather Saddle – Black

Finding a dressage saddle that sits close and stable on a flatter, low-withered back without rocking or sitting high can be a challenge. The Kent & Masters S-Series Low Profile Dressage (LDM) is engineered specifically to tackle that low-profile architecture. Combining a supportive semi-deep seat, soft ghost-stitched knee pads, and movable Velcro knee blocks, it gives riders a secure, customized leg position while delivering a true close-contact feel.

At Best Horse Saddle Shop, our workshop team hand-inspects every pre-owned saddle before listing. This 16.5″ S-Series Low Profile model is in Grade 4 condition—showing honest, cosmetic leg wear from regular schooling, but remaining 100% structurally sound and fully prepared for many more tests in the dressage arena.

Low-Profile Fit & Personalized Rider Support

The Kent & Masters S-Series LDM balances targeted horse ergonomics with rider adjustability:

• Low-Profile Back Architecture: Designed with a flatter tree arch and broad panel footprint specifically for low-withered, broader-backed horses that push standard dressage trees out of balance.

• SIMA R-Bar Changeable Gullet: Uses the R-Bar gullet matrix (adjusting from Narrow-Medium up to XX-Wide). Changing widths takes only minutes, making seasonal conditioning shifts simple to accommodate.

• Customizable Moveable Knee Blocks: Repositionable Velcro knee blocks allow you to angle and position leg support exactly where you need it, encouraging a long, relaxed leg position without locking your hips.

• Ghost-Stitched Knee Pads: Soft, ghosted stitching on the knee pads creates a seamless, flexible feel under your thigh for maximum leg comfort.

• Traditional Wool-Flocked Panels: Wool flocking gives your qualified saddle fitter complete scope to make micro-adjustments for even weight distribution.

• Adaptable Girthing Options: Features flexible girthing arrangements to help anchor the saddle securely and maintain ideal balance across rounder barrels.
