ABOUT

The Peter Horobin Bondi GP (General Purpose) saddle is designed as a highly versatile, accessible, and adjustable all-around saddle within the Peter Horobin range. It's built for riders who engage in multiple disciplines or need a single, comfortable saddle for various activities like trail riding, schooling, and light jumping.

Key Features:

PHS Adaptree (Adjustable Tree): This is the core of its adaptability. The PHS Adaptree is fully adjustable in both width and angle by a qualified saddle fitter. This crucial feature allows the saddle to be continually adjusted to your horse's changing shape over its lifetime, ensuring a "forever custom fit." This tree is different from their more advanced StrideFree tree, but still offers excellent adjustability.

French Calfskin Leather: Crafted with high-quality French calfskin, providing a soft, comfortable, and grippy feel, reflecting Peter Horobin's commitment to quality materials even in their economy range.

Moderate Depth Seat: The seat offers a balanced position that's not as deep as a dressage saddle nor as flat as a dedicated jump saddle. This provides comfort and support for various riding activities.

Medium-Sized Knee Rolls: Features medium-sized knee rolls (adjustable with Velcro) that offer sufficient support for general riding and light jumping without being overly restrictive.

Balanced Design: Created to provide a good balance for riders who want to be able to handle a range of tasks without frequently switching saddles.

Wool Flocked Panels: The panels are flocked with 100% British wool. Wool flocking is highly pliable and can be easily adjusted or repacked by a saddle fitter to ensure optimal contact and even pressure distribution on the horse's back.

Generous Channel Width: Designed to provide ample spinal clearance, essential for the horse's comfort and freedom of movement.

Shoulder Relief Feature: The PHS Adaptree is designed to offer good freedom for the horse's shoulder movement, which is beneficial across all disciplines.

Lifetime Warranty on the Tree: Peter Horobin stands behind the durability and adjustability of their PHS Adaptree with a lifetime warranty.

SUITABILITY

Given its fully adjustable PHS Adaptree and wool-flocked panels, the Peter Horobin Bondi GP saddle is incredibly versatile and can be accurately fitted to an exceptionally wide range of horse conformations. Its strength lies in its adaptability.

It is particularly well-suited for:
Horses with Changing Shapes: Ideal for young horses developing, horses coming into or out of work, or those that fluctuate in weight and condition. The saddle can be consistently adjusted to maintain a precise fit.

Horses with Standard to Wider Wither and Back Profiles: The adjustable tree can be set to accommodate various widths, from narrow to extra-wide, making it suitable for a diverse population of horses.

Horses Needing Good Spinal Clearance: The generous channel width is a significant benefit for horses with more prominent spines or those that require ample room for their back.

Horses with Shorter Backs: The option for shorter panels makes it a good solution for compact or short-backed horses where a standard panel might be too long.

Horses of Various Back Shapes: The wool flocking allows for custom molding to adapt to different back contours, whether relatively flat, moderately curved, or even slightly asymmetrical.

In essence, the Peter Horobin Bondi GP saddle is an excellent choice for riders seeking a high-quality, comfortable, and exceptionally adaptable all-around saddle that can be precisely fitted and re-fitted to a broad range of horse shapes, or to a single horse's evolving conformation over its lifetime.
