Based in the saddle making capital of Walsall, England, we have saddles fits for the big broad cobs, Arabs, native breeds and younger horse with undefined withers. A Veteran Horse Society approved high-wither range that is tailor-made for the Thoroughbred type especially kind to the ex-racehorse or the older horse developing a prominent spine. The high-wither range also lends itself to a great fit for those high wide, withers of the German, Dutch and Danish breeds or warmblood- types.
For the younger generation we are proud to make our approved Pony Club range which features many attributes to help develop that perfect riding position, balance and confidence in those vital developing years. Plus we have the Safari series dedicated to the tiny tots and their roly poly ponies

Then for those average horses we have the normal fit; a range of saddles that are just as unique but for the average medium-withered horse. After all he has his own specific conformation too.

If you are looking for a saddle that looks the part and combines the benefits of synthetic and leather saddles, then you need not look any further than the Thorowgood T6. You really can kiss goodbye to saddle soap with our new range, which includes exclusive celebrity models such as the Richard Davidson dressage saddle with the unique trainer roller system to help you improve your leg position. Also available is the close contact Robert Whitaker Jump saddle helping you to secure a better seat giving you the confidence to tackle even bigger fences.
Jill Thomas has also added her Endurance to the Thorowgood T6 repertoire making good use of the ‘25% lighter than an equivalent ordinary saddle’ property the Thorowgood T6 has to offer.

For the Thorowgood Griffin lovers out there, this ever popular range has been reborn with additional features and refinements as the Thorowgood T4 series. Continuing, as in every Thorowgood saddle, to include the lightweight symmetrical Simatree saddle tree and the award winning quick and easy patented Fish fine-tune adjustable fit system.

So if you want saddles with the Fish system built on a Simatree tree, award winning girths, conformation fit saddlecloths and numnahs, brushing boots and head collars or non-stretch stirrup straps, tuff stirrups, Long-life lead ropes and the successful training aids designed by Claire Lilley, then look no further than Thorowgood.

T6 Cob Dressage

Tailor-made to allow the broader horse to work in comfort. The unique balancing girth strap system for extra saddle stability and the close-contact panels to enable the clear transmission of leg aids, ensure this is the best solution for the low withered horse doing flatwork. Now you can achieve and maintain the correct dressage position – this super-comfy, straight-cut saddle makes it so much easier. You’ll appreciate the rider-friendly deep seat cushion and latex-filled knee-pads. And, as the hide-like microfibre seat needs no breaking-in, it’s instantly comfortable.
