Product Specifications

Available Seat Sizes and Colors

The Collegiate Integrity Mono Dressage Saddle has been listed in these seat sizes:

• 16.5 inches
• 17 inches
• 17.5 inches
• 18 inches

Colors: Black and Brown.

Availability can vary by retailer and model year. Confirm the seat size, color, and tree configuration before ordering.

Opti-Fit Adjustable Gullet System

The saddle uses the Collegiate Opti-Fit Series III changeable gullet system. The supplied configuration is generally listed with a Medium gullet, while compatible gullet plates can be used to adjust the tree width.

This feature can be helpful when a horse’s condition or musculature changes, but changing the gullet alone does not guarantee a correct fit. The saddle’s overall balance, panel contact, and wither clearance must also be assessed.

Always verify gullet compatibility before purchasing replacement components.

Why Choose the Collegiate Integrity Mono Dressage Saddle?

The Collegiate Integrity is designed for riders who want a close-contact feel without sacrificing seat depth or leg support. Its monoflap design helps reduce bulk between horse and rider, while the generous knee blocks and deep seat support a stable position during dressage exercises.

The changeable gullet system provides additional fitting flexibility, and the leather construction offers a traditional finish suited to everyday schooling and more formal riding environments.

Manufacturer and retailer listings describe a 10-year tree warranty and a 2-year saddle warranty for applicable new saddles. Warranty terms depend on the seller, region, purchase date, and product eligibility; confirm coverage before buying.

Care and Maintenance

To preserve your saddle’s condition:

1. Remove dust, sweat, and dirt after each ride.
2. Clean the leather with a suitable leather cleaner.
3. Condition the leather according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
4. Store the saddle on a shaped saddle rack in a dry, ventilated area.
5. Inspect stitching, billets, girthing points, and the tree regularly.
6. Check the gullet components for damage before making adjustments.
7. Arrange periodic saddle-fitting assessments to ensure the saddle remains appropriate for your horse.

Saddle-Fitting Advice

Select the seat size according to the rider’s build and preferred position. The saddle must also fit the horse, with adequate wither clearance, even panel contact, correct balance, and freedom of shoulder movement.

Consult a qualified saddle fitter before regular use or whenever changing the gullet. A saddle that fits the rider comfortably may still be unsuitable for the horse.
