Thorowgood
T8 Jump
Colour: Black, Brown
Changeable Gullet: N/M to XW/XXW
Gullet Bar Type: R-Bar
The Thorowgood T8 Jump saddle is a specialist showjumping saddle designed to improve your jumping technique. It is built on a tree which has longer, swept-back points to support the front of the panel and allow freer shoulder movement.
The secure seat, close-contact design and adjustable thigh and calf supports help you maintain a better balanced and improved position when jumping.
The saddle features broad, wool flocked panels and girthing options to maximise contact and saddle stability, while the quality leather seat and knee pads give the feel of riding on an all leather saddle
Changeable Gullet
Easily change the gullet bar to best fit the width of the horse’s withers
Gullet Bar Widths
NB: There are two gullet bar lengths (R and S type) to suit the specific tree designs. *XXW (Silver) size is available in S-Bar only.
Step 1: Use the hex key to remove the 2 screws at the front of each panel.
Step 2: Slide the panel off the point of the tree.
Step 3: Unscrew all four bolts in the gullet bar and remove the gullet bar.
Step 4: Insert different width of gullet bar. Insert all four bolts by hand then secure. Use the indent in the tree to position the bar facing the right way.
Only SimaTree gullet bars are suitable for Thorowgood saddles. You must NOT use any other bar in your Thorowgood saddle.
The S-Bar and R-Bars are not interchangeable. You must use the correct bar for your saddle model.
Changeable Girth Straps
The moveable girth strap can be positioned on the back ring to achieve optimal saddle stability
Step 1: Feed the strap through the ring with the point upwards and the top side of the strap facing down against the sweat flap.
Step 2: Curl the strap round and through the webbing loop
Step 3: Pull the strap tight ensuring the webbing loop lies flat against the top of the strap. (Reverse the above steps to remove a girth strap).
1. Clean and feed the leather parts of the saddle (flaps, knee rolls and panels) with a cream conditioner (we recommend Rapide Leathergel). If necessary, wipe off any dirt with a damp cloth first.
2. Wipe down the non-leather sections (skirt) with warm water and a cloth. A mild detergent can be used to remove stubborn dirt. These areas require no further products or conditioners. Remember to clean all surfaces.
3. Avoid products that are glycerine or oil based, or those that contain alcohol (such as spray cleaners)
4. If your saddle has leather stirrup straps, take care NOT to apply saddle soap or conditioner to the surface which comes into contact with the saddle flap.
5. Always allow your saddle to dry naturally. Do not use external heat sources and don't put it on a radiator, or hot pipes.
