What is the Universal Gullet System?

The Universal Gullet System allows you to quickly and efficiently change the width of your saddle. Each saddle equipped with this system comes with six different gullet locks for adjusting the fit, so you never have to worry about being without the correct size.

The width options include:

⭐ Narrow

⭐ Medium

⭐ Medium-Wide

⭐ Wide

⭐ Extra-Wide

⭐ Extra-Extra-Wide

This system gives you the flexibility to ensure your saddle fits comfortably across different horse builds or through seasonal changes.

What’s Included

When you purchase a saddle with the Universal Gullet System, you’ll receive a small box containing:

  • Six gullet locks (narrow, medium, medium-wide, wide, extra-wide, extra-extra-wide)
  • Two extra copper rings
  • Two extra clips
  • A metal stick for gullet adjustment

How to Change the Gullet

Adjusting the gullet width on your saddle is a straightforward process. Follow these steps:

  1. Locate the Velcro pocket between the saddle panels at the front of the saddle's canal.
  2. Remove the clips holding the current gullet in place.
  3. Use the provided metal stick and a hammer to gently tap out the current size lock gullet.
  4. Reinstall the copper rings to ensure proper placement.
  5. Adjust the saddle width by applying force to the sides, ensuring it matches the desired gullet size.
  6. Insert the new size lock gullet into the socket and hammer it in until secure. Ensure that the two holes are visible on the opposite side.
  7. Reattach the clips to hold the size lock in place.
  8. Close the Velcro pocket and you're all set!
