GFS proudly launch a NEW SYNTHETIC SADDLE RANGE for the future...
With such a wealth of experience in the saddle making industry,GFS are very proud to introduce our ‘Genesis’ Range.
This range of synthetic saddles draws upon all the tradtional leather

synthetic materials to produce a range of superior quality synthetic

taken using a Genesis Gullet Measuring Gauge that enables you to
regularly check your horses shape. Full instructions on how to check

GFS Petite all purpose saddles
12 | www.gfsriding.co.uk
Everyone knows that for a piece of equipment to work effectively it needs to fit. No matter what your shape and sizeyour saddle needs to fit and work for you and your horse...
At GFS we have designed a range of all purpose saddles for the petite adult rider typically 5’3” tall and under. There is no longer a need to struggle with a saddle that is too big, or squeeze ones self into a pony saddle.
GFS have a specialist range of saddles designed to cater forteenagers and small adult riders. The precedent for the petite range was set with the development of theTweenager. The Tweenager addresses the fact that typicallyteenagers have a relatively long hip to knee measurement,yet their body shape is very slim and unlike a full adult.
The problem with finding the ideal saddle, therefore, is thatthe flap size needed to accommodate the longer femur isfound on an adult sized saddle; however, such a saddlewould have an overly large seat.
Following intensive research, design and testing the GFSTweenager was born as the ultimate compromise: an appropriately sized seat paired with a longer flap. Longerlegs are taken care of without the rider’s bottom being in a seat that is far too big! The Tweenager offers the confidence that comes with comfort and contact.
The tremendous reception we had to the Tweenagerprompted us to address other body types that traditionallymay have been neglected. As a consequence the Elite SP was created.
Aimed at the rider who is possibly 5’3” and under, the Elite SP is the perfect transition between a pony saddle andadult saddle, that often has flaps that are disproportionallytoo long for both horse and rider.
With the same petite rider in mindthe Generation Training SP completes the range by offering an excellent value training saddle for the smallerrider.
At GFS we understand that goodriders come in all shapes and sizes!
Finding a suitable saddle to accommodate your size isn’t always easy…

GFS Adult all purpose saddles
Leather loses a percentage of its fat content
every day of its life, and just as we need food to
replace our energy, so leather needs constant
replenishment if it is to continue to lead a useful
life. (Hartley Edwards, E., 1963 Saddlery)
Proper leather care is crucial to maximise the life of asaddle and bridle. Leather is a natural product and if it is allowed to dry out it will eventually peel andcrack. Spending a little time cleaning and caring foryour tack will pay dividends in the future.
Cleaning and Care:• CLEAN leather by removing dirt with a damp cloth.
• TAKE steps to replenish the lost moisture and fat content
in your leather.
• NEVER use hot water and do not soak your tack.
• ALWAYS allow wet leather to dry naturally.
Products:• Traditional glycerine based saddle soap can be used to
clean your tack. However, apply sparingly and do
not use in isolation as saddle soap does not replace any
fat content.
• Hide foods should be used occasionally to replace lost
moisture and fat content. Always allow three
hours for hide food to soak in.
• Oil must be used sparingly as over saturation will result
in limpness.
• Waxed creams create a waxy barrier between the
leather and the atmosphere offering a layer of
protection.

A saddle with an adjustable tree has many benefits for the discerning horse owner.
Dr Gail Williams BA (Hons) PhD MNAVP writes, “I recommend
the X-change system if you are backing or bringing on a young
horse, bringing back a horse from a long period of rest or injury,
or introducing work to a horse that has lost condition or has
significant saddle damage. In any of these circumstances, your
schooling programme will be directed to changing his shape
and musculature. With an adjustable saddle you will always
be able to have a saddle which fits your horse and will not
inhibit muscle gain.”

Each saddle within the Pessoa range is an
extension of the philosophy that the saddle is
a working tool for the rider. Each Pessoa saddle is
close contact in design and provides the rider with
a platform on which to find the correct centre
of balance and therefore, excel in their
performance.
The Pessoa family work on the premise that limits
are there to be broken. This is truly reflected in the
design, innovation and craftsmanship seen in
Pessoa Saddles.
Acquiring a Pessoa saddle is more than just a
purchase, it is a lifelong adoption…
Those who own a Pessoa saddle can take pleasure
in knowing that the tool at their disposal is the
same as the tool used by the master who
developed it.

brow band fits well back behind the ears to
avoid pinching in very sensitive areas.
The noseband fastens to the headpiece on both
sides reducing any stress caused by pulling the
noseband tight on the side of the horses’ head;
this allows the noseband to sit centrally at its
optimum position.
The noseband is also padded to provide
the horse with maximum comfort.

Lunging isn’t always the most exciting task, but it
often forms a fundamental part of a horse’s training.
Whether being broken, schooled or brought back
into work lunging has a positive effect on a horse’s
confirmation and movement.
To help make your lunging more effective we
have developed the GFS Training Roller.
The roller is luxuriously padded to establish
a comfortable fit along the contours of the
horse, this also ensures a good clearance of
the wither. Roller bar stainless steel
fastenings make the roller easy to secure.
The roller comes complete with a fully
adjustable leather girth and six pairs of
training rings. One pair of training rings is
situated on the leather girth, this low position
is ideal to use when starting a horse with
the Pessoa Training Aid… turn over for details.

PESSOA Training Aid
Developed by legendary Show Jumper Nelson Pessoa,
the Pessoa Training Aid is considered by many to be an
essential tool for every horseman. Working in harmony
with the horse; it persuades and suggests, helping the
horse to find its optimum balance and rhythm.
Typical schooling aids often create a rigid contact with the horse’s mouth. In contrast, the Pessoa Training Aid recognised that to work correctly a fluid contact is required to accommodate individual movements. This is created by a series of sympathetic ropes and pulleys that are used while lunging to encourage the horse to work in the perfectshape.
View the training film!...Available to download from our website (mpeg file) is a short film showing
Dr Gail Williams BA (hons) PhD MNAVP instructing how to get the best
from your Pessoa training aid.

PESSOA Training Aid
When developing the Training Aid, Nelson Pessoa acknowledged that a horse’s all importantback muscles need to be free when working to achieve that all desired balance and impulsion.The Pessoa Training Aid promotes this philosophy and, therefore, supports the development ofback muscles in all horses. Ideally, work with the Pessoa Training Aid should begin when thehorse is young.
Regular use of the Pessoa Training Aid as part of a horse’s training routine will help develop thefree forward flowing paces required to succeed in all competitive spheres. The Pessoa TrainingAid should be gradually introduced into a work regime, starting in walk, then trot and finallywhen the horse is settled, canter. The Pessoa Training Aid works at its best when used regularlyfor short periods of time.
The Pessoa Training Aid offers a range of settings. The lower positions work the horse’s backmuscles in isolation. Once the horse is relaxed and working freely at the lower positions,higher positions can be introduced, which work the back muscles and the muscles at the baseof the neck in conjunction. The system of ropes and pulleys used encourages the horse to takeweight off the forehand and work through his back, bringing his hindquarters underneath himand consequently finding balance and flexibility.

Saddle Features

Balance Strap Tab
Moulded PanelA moulded panel is preformed in a mould, which produces a flat even surface. This type of panel is very low maintenance.
A nylon web tab is fitted towards the rear of the tree: this enables the saddler to stitch on a leather girth strap if required. This balance strapwill then inhibit the saddlefrom moving on the horse’sback.
An extra deep gusset is used to re-balance the seat ensuring that the rider sits in balance and is commonly used to avoid that riding downhill look.
A nylon web tab is fitted to the point of the tree; this enables a saddler to stitch ona leather girth strap if required.This point strap will then inhibit the saddle slippingonto the horses shoulder area.
A shallow gusset helps prevent that ‘perched on top’look, as the rider will sit closer to the horse.
An accessible length of nylonwebbing is left to allow easy repair or replacement of girth straps.
Secured with Velcro these largejumping blocks are easily adjustedto accommodate rider leg lengthand preferred position. A largerblock offers maximum security inthe saddle.
A standard jumping kneeblock supports the knee whenthe rider has taken up jumpingposition. The top part of theknee will rest up against theblock making the rider moresecure.
A pencil knee roll lends support to the rider, but allows more freedom throughthe leg than a standard kneeroll.
A standard knee roll offers the rider security in the saddle and assistance with their leg position up against the block making the rider more secure.
