Workshop Inspection & Quality Certification

Before any pre-owned saddle goes live on Premium Saddle Shop, it passes through our workshop for a full bench safety and structural inspection by our qualified saddlers. We test internal tree alignment, R-Bar gullet mechanisms, hide integrity, and wool panel fill.

• Overall Rating: Grade 3 — Excellent Pre-Owned Condition

• Structural Rating: 100% sound across the SIMA tree frame, gullet assembly, and billet system.

• Cosmetic Details: Outstanding cosmetic shape with minimal overall signs of previous riding use. Shows only faint surface shading on both flaps from stirrup leather contact (detailed in our listing photos). The hide-covered leather remains soft, grippy, and beautifully maintained, complete with elegant contrast piping and welt detailing.

Model Overview

Handcrafted in Walsall, England, the Kent & Masters Competition Series Monoflap XC is engineered for eventers and show jumpers seeking close-contact feel, rider security, and total fitting flexibility.

Built on a streamlined monoflap chassis, it removes extra leather bulk beneath your leg to create an immediate, sensitive connection with your horse. The supportive fixed surface blocks and balanced seat architecture help keep your lower leg steady across technical cross-country tracks and jumping courses.
