Panels are recessed and shaped to avoid restriction of the horse’s shoulder blade and to encourage freedom of movement. Panels for the Showtime Saddle are available in Standard, Alto and Corto to suit different horse conformations. This saddle has Corto panels. (Corto panels for a horse with a well-developed, muscular back; the gusset at the back of the saddle is flat to fit the horse’s natural contours.) (the Alto panels for a horse with prominent withers and great height distances between withers and back; a deep panel at the front and back allow good clearance for withers and spine.  Standard panels are for a horse without extenuating conformational issues through the back and withers.) Tree: The XCH lightweight carbon fiber tree allows for an even more customized fit and is guaranteed for life. Gullet: Medium wide gullet included. (Variable sized gullets can be purchased separately though Dover Saddlery.)
