PDS SADDLES & ACCESSORIES

Professional Dressage Solutions

Professional Dressage Solutions is committed to delivering premium quality, dressage saddles and accessories for all riders. Designed in conjunction with Carl Hester MBE, PDS is available globally. From the initial concept to the final product, our attention to detail is second to none. In an ever-evolving industry, PDS Saddles has worked with Carl, one of the world's most respected dressage riders and trainers to manufacture a collection of saddles that will suit all horses and riders regardless of shape and size.

2023 saw the launch of Hester’s Jaguar and Brioso, two new dressage saddles that have been developed over a period of two years with some of the more trickier to fit horses! Working with UK Master Saddlers and equine therapists, the two new saddles are possibly the most comfortable for horse and rider and offer the most flexible fit options, using Jacobs Wool to give saddle fitters the opportunity to fine tune for any horse. Our PATENTED X Change gullet plate system means you can easily change the width of the saddle.

GULLET PLATES

To ensure your saddle fits perfectly we have a patented range of gullet plates. These can be used to ensure your saddle fits your horse as he changes in condition or width throughout his life. If you buy a new horse and the shape of the saddle is the correct fit (always check with a qualified saddle fitter) then you can alter the gullet plate to fit the width of your new horse. We recommend that a qualified saddle fitter changes gullet plates.

X-Change System Gullet Plates

All PDS saddles can be adjusted easily, often on site, to ensure that your saddle always fits perfectly.

Each saddle is supplied with a MW gullet plate as standard unless pre ordered by your saddle fitter. Gullet plates are only available to registered saddler fitters. Our gullet plates are not designed for any other saddle brand other than PDS and PESSOA. Gullet plates are designed to alter the width of the saddle, not the shape. Colours denote the widths. Above is the Series II range which goes from

Narrow (Pink) to XXX-Wide (Red). Gullet plates are stamped on the inside with a 1 or 2 to denote the series. A yellow (X Narrow) is now also available, not shown here,
