EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE: Individual Gullet
An individual EASY-CHANGE WIDE gullet for use in saddles featuring the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE.
Contains your chosen size gullet along with all of the fixings you require to fit it in your wide saddle.
How does the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE work?
The EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE offers a way of altering the width of the Elastiflex tree in your saddle. The Elastiflex tree is supported by the rigid gullet at the head and has true lateral flexion to work with your horse's muscles. Tree width is determined by the size of gullet plate fitted between the tree points, which governs the width from the waist to the tree points.
Genuine EASY-CHANGE WIDE gullet plates are engineered to be completely rigid, so they cannot spread or change shape under normal use. Gullet plates are coded by size and remain true to that size throughout their life.
Important: only genuine EASY-CHANGE WIDE gullet plates are accredited for use in saddles featuring the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE. Non-genuine component parts, and standard EASY-CHANGE gullets, are not accredited for use in these saddles, and damage caused by them is not covered by our warranty. Please see our warranty page for the full terms.
What size WIDE gullets are available?
WIDE saddles take four interchangeable gullet plates, coded by size.
- 1XW, 255 mm
- 2XW, 270 mm
- 3XW, 280 mm
- 4XW, 295 mm
There is a 3 mm tolerance above and below the standard measurement because of the manufacturing process. Measurements are taken from the inside of the gullet plate at its widest point. They are for reference only and are not intended to be used for fitting. To find the right gullet for your horse, use the EASY-CHANGE Gullet Gauge and the advice of a professional saddle fitter.
What tools do I need?
A long-handled Phillips head number 3 screwdriver, and the EASY-CHANGE locating tool that comes with your riser pack. Most people find the first change takes a little longer than later ones. If you are unsure at any point, your saddle fitter or stockist can do it for you.
