Adjustable Half Breed

Engineered for long days in the saddle, heavy station work, and rugged trail riding, Syd Hill adjustable half breed saddles deliver an exceptional combination of security, balance, and adaptable fit. Blending the secure seat and poley knee pads of a traditional Australian stock saddle with the comfortable weight distribution of Western saddles, this collection is built to perform in demanding conditions. Featuring custom adjustability, unyielding durability, and unique design elements not found anywhere else, our adjustable half breed saddles ensure optimal balance, close-contact communication, and a tailored fit for both horse and rider.

How Does an Adjustable Half Breed Saddle Work?

An adjustable half breed saddle utilizes an interchangeable gullet system built into a flexible, heavy-duty tree. By swapping out the internal gullet plate, you can instantly alter the width of the saddle across the horse’s withers and shoulders. This allows the saddle frame to expand or narrow to match your horse's specific conformation without changing the structural integrity of the seat or tree. Coupled with removable or repositionable panel setups, an adjustable half breed gives you the power to fine-tune the saddle's balance and weight distribution whenever your horse changes shape.

Can I Change the Gullet in an SHX / SHXP Adjustable Half Breed Saddle Myself?

Yes, changing the gullet plate in a Syd Hill adjustable half breed is a straightforward process designed to be done at home. By loosening the access screws under the pommel skirt, you can gently peel back the lining to reveal the internal tree points. From there, simply unscrew the existing gullet plate, swap it for the correct size width (ranging from narrow to extra-wide), tighten the plate back into position, and re-secure the panel housing. No specialized trade tools or major modifications are required.
