In 2009 Manely Equine approached the Lovatt and Ricketts Master Saddlers with a hard to fit horse.  They came back with the Concord tree.  So pleased with the results Lovatt and Ricketts have introduced the Concord model for 2011.

Completely redesigned tree with a deeper cut back, lower pommel accommodates all withers; a wide and open pommel with swept back tree points gives freedom to the broad shoulders of the Baroque horse. Through innovative design we have been able to incorporate a narrow waist to enable the rider's leg to fall away from the pelvis for a more comfortable position, especially for the less flexible or narrow hipped rider. Fitted with our new super slim dressage stirrup bar that will not put undue pressure on the horse or interfere with the riders leg position, we have also incorporated a moveable knee block so leg position can yet again be enhanced for a perfect seat. The concord also features our innovative billeting system enabling the rider to move the front billets to two positions, this coupled with our rear billet on a balancing ring gives a perfect girthing alignment.

The Concord is available in smooth soft bull hide with French calf in the seat and knee pads or alternately with our X-grip water buffalo with buffalo Nubuck seat and knee pads. These superb hand crafted leathers a produced for us by world famous English tanners and dressers, Claytons of Chesterfield and J & E Sedgwick & Co. Ltd of Walsall.
