17.5 inch Kent and Masters S-Series Compact GP MGC Brown Adjustable

Description

Kent & Masters S-Series Compact GP MGC 17.5″ Adjustable Saddle – Brown Leather

Finding an all-rounder saddle that accommodates a longer leg without swamping a petite build or crowding a short back can be a tricky balancing act. The Kent & Masters S-Series Compact GP MGC bridges that gap. Designed with a slightly flatter tree underside than the standard Original GP, a forward-cut flap, and a narrower twist through the waist, it gives slim or petite riders a supportive, tailored fit while leaving plenty of room for a shorter, jumping-length stirrup.

At Best Horse Saddle Shop, our workshop team hand-inspects every pre-owned saddle before listing. This 17.5″ Compact GP is fully structurally sound and ready to serve as a reliable, versatile everyday companion for flatwork, hacking, schooling, and jumping.

Tailored Ergonomics for Compact Riders

The S-Series Compact GP MGC offers a specialized fit profile engineered for horse and rider harmony:

• Petite-Friendly Architecture: Features a narrower twist and compact seat waist, making it ideal for slimmer riders or those with narrower hips who feel stretched in bulky standard trees.

• Forward-Cut Leg Clearance: The forward flap shape accommodates shorter stirrup lengths for jumping or riding club activities without pushing your knees over the front roll.

• SIMA R-Bar Changeable Gullet: Uses the R-Bar gullet system (adjusting from NM to XXW). Swapping bars takes only minutes, making seasonal weight shifts or muscle growth easy to manage.

• Natural Wool-Flocked Panels: Traditional wool flocking allows your local fitter to tweak panel balance and contact as your horse’s topline develops.

• Movable Support & Custom Girthing: Repositionable Velcro knee and calf blocks combine with flexible girthing options to keep the saddle securely anchored and balanced.

Condition Report

Grade 5 — Average Used / Budget-Friendly Condition

This saddle has seen regular use in the arena and trail, shows cosmetic wear consistent with its grade, but is 100% structurally sound and fully functional:

• Seat, Pommel & Cantle: Surface cosmetic wear across the seat leather with scuff marks along the pommel and cantle rims.

• Flaps: Moderate, typical wear on both left and right flaps from stirrup leathers.

• Structure: The SIMA tree, girth points, stitching, and wool-flocked panels are solid and intact.
