Features of a phs saddle:
The great thing about purchasing a PHS Saddle is that each saddle is created from the finest traditions of craftmanship. Hand made each saddle is fully adjustable, and can be refitted over and over to accomodate changes in a developing horse or adjusted to fit a new horse. PHS saddles are hand made in Australia and individually fitted, providing superior fit precision and control. The features in a PHS saddle extend further than the saddle itself, with Peter Horobin Saddlery providing you with the answers you need for a correctly fitting saddle and the afterservice following the purchase of your saddle that will keep you and your horse happy throughout your riding career.

Female Saddle
Peter Horobin Saddlery is the Female Saddle Specialist! Many of the Peter Horobin models are designed for the female body. They feature extended stirrup bars allowing for the longer femur of a woman in comparison to the lower leg, narrow twist which accommodates for the Q-Angle of the female hip and gives a spot for the inner thigh to sit close to the horse, wider extra soft seat allowing room for the females' wider seat bones, various flap angles that accommodate thigh and hip angle, and the patented "crotch comfort" to relieve any pressure or rubbing on the pubic symphysis of the rider.
'French-Style' leather
This soft and supple ‘dry milled’ leather has a matte finish. It is dyed all the way through, and provides the rider with more grip and stability in the saddle - a popular choice for discerning riders. Our 'French-Style' leather is carefully selected and meets the highest specifications. The 'dry milled' process gives a higher quality 'grain' appearance and softer feel to the touch.Colours:Black and Brown
Seat Comfort
The patented CC is a padded cut out in the crotch area to relieve pressure on the front pelvic area of the rider. It is designed specifically for riders who have had problems with saddles giving too much contact in the front.
Gullet Width
All of the Peter Horobin Saddles have extra wide gullets to protect the spinous processes and the dorsal ligament system of the horse. The gullet width increases slightly towards the cantle to allow ultimate flexibility of the vertebrae.
Shoulder Relief Panel
The 3/4 independent shoulder relief panel is cut back in the shoulder area allowing maximum freedom of movement. This panel can be found on the PH Liberty, The Close Contact Liberty and the HK.
Stirrup Bars
The Peter Horobin saddles come with extended stirrup bar to allow a natural shoulder-hip-heel alignment for the rider. For riders with a much longer upper leg than lower measurement (typically female riders with a very long femur) can opt for an extra extended stirrup bar option.
Wedge Relief Option
This panel option is suited for short coupled horses and is designed to sweep up under the cantle to relieve pressure in the lumbar region. Peter Horobin Saddlery will advise you if this option is appropriate for your horse.
