Description
The DP Saddlery El Campo SKL Shorty is the best-selling model for short-backed horses because it combines horse comfort (Shorty panels) with maximum rider comfort (SKL).
The SKL Shorty is engineered to be as short as possible for your horse (approx. 18.5 inches) while featuring the Soft Knee Leg Area (SKL) padded flap for the rider. This combination is essential for long-distance comfort on compact breeds like Arabians. The adjustable Velcro Knee Blocks still allow you to fine-tune your leg support, making this a favorite for trail riders.
Key Differentiator: Shorty + SKL

The Trifecta: Short Panels (for the horse) + Soft Knee Leg Area (for the rider) + Velcro Blocks (for adjustability).
