Description
The DP Saddlery El Campo Shorty addresses the critical fitting challenge of the short-backed horse by condensing the saddle’s footprint without sacrificing the deep seat or rider features.
With a much shorter saddle length (approx. 18.5 inches), the Shorty ensures the panels do not press on the horse’s sensitive loin area. It maintains all the rider features of the standard El Campo, including the deep, secure seat and the adjustable Velcro Knee Blocks for customized leg placement.
Key Differentiator: Short Panels
-
Saddle Length: The entire weight-bearing panel system is shortened to approx. 18.5 inches (compare to 21″ for standard models).
-
Velcro Knee Blocks: Standard adjustable blocks for customized rider support.
