  • A small moveable thigh block which can be re-positioned to provide superior support for the rider’s leg
  • Move or even change the block to suit the rider’s leg position
  • The addition of deep cushioning and ghost stitching on the knee pad means the support is softer and more accommodating for a variety of leg lengths and sizes
  • Neat and compact mid-depth seat to align and support the rider in the optimum dressage position
  • Super-soft full grain hide on the seat and knee pad
  • Please Note: All saddles are sold on the understanding that they will be fitted by a professional Qualified Saddle Fitter.

Design Details
Scientifically tested icon

Scientifically researched
All Fairfax saddles are designed using the scientific research and development that goes into our Performance and World Class ranges. Every saddle benefits from our pressure-relieving design experience – so the horse benefits too!

Made in Britain icon

Handmade in England
All our saddles are handmade in Walsall, England by highly skilled Master Saddlers.

Prolite icon

Prolite®-lined panel
The wool-flocked panels are lined with a layer of Prolite®for proven pressure distribution, while still allowing for traditional re-flocking on site

Gullet Bars icon

Changeable Gullet Bars
All saddles feature a changeable gullet bar (either S-Bar or R-Bar) which allows the saddle fitter to choose the width fitting that best suits the profile of the horse’s withers. The bars can be changed quickly and easily as the horse develops or changes shape.

British Wool Flocking
British wool provides superior softness and comfort for the horse. Each saddle has two flocking slots which make it easy for your saddle fitter to make quick fitting adjustments on site.

Girthing Options

Fairfax Classic Dressage saddles have three billets. The saddle fitter has the option to remove the third one if it is not needed, or simply tuck it into the keeper on the girth.

Classic Dressage Girthing

Begin with neutral position – 2nd and 3rd billet

If the saddle slips forward the saddle fitter will use the 1st and 3rd billet

NEVER girth using the 1st and 2nd billet together– it will cause saddle instability
