Thorowgood T4 Cob GP MGX 17.5″ Adjustable Saddle – Brown

Finding a saddle for a rounder horse, a Cob type, or a flat-backed native breed can be a real headache. Too many saddles sit high and feel like they’re just “perched” on top of the horse’s back rather than actually wrapping around it. That’s where the Thorowgood T4 Cob GP MGX comes in. Lightweight, low-maintenance, and fully adjustable, it’s one of the most practical everyday general-purpose saddles on the market.

At American Saddle Shop, every pre-owned saddle goes straight to our workshop for a thorough safety and structural check before hit the site. This T4 is in solid working condition, 100% sound, and ready to tack up for schooling, trail rides, or riding-club fun.

Built for Cobs & Rounder Builds

The T4 Cob GP MGX was engineered from the ground up to fit horses with minimal withers and flatter toplines:

• Low-Profile Panels: Sits close to the horse’s back for stability, giving you a secure, connected feel rather than floating above the spine.

• Medium-Depth Seat: Strikes the perfect balance—supportive enough for jumping and schooling, but comfortable and unrestricted for long days on the trail.

• Adjustable S-Bar System: Uses Thorowgood’s S-Bar gullet system, allowing a fitter to easily swap widths from Narrow-Medium all the way up to Extra-Extra-Wide as your horse changes shape or fitness.

• Customizable Leg Support: Movable, Velcro knee blocks let you place support right where your leg needs it most.

• Multiple Girthing Options: Flexible webbing points allow you to adjust the girth line for maximum saddle stability on rounder barrels.
