GFS Bridles, Girths and Saddles
“Innovation. Tradition. Perfection.”
Fieldhouse Riding Equipment was established in 1983 by Master Saddler Geoff Fieldhouse. The GFS brand was the first to provide a range of saddles, bridles, and associated accessories!
In 1998, after successfully establishing the GFS brand, Fieldhouse Riding Equipment became the sole distributor of the Pessoa range in the UK. Then in 2003, GFS took over the ANKY range of dressage saddles developed by Olympic gold medallist dressage rider Anky Van Grunsven. GFS also now incorporates the PDS – Professional Dressage Solutions – range.
There are many features offered exclusively by GFS, which include:
* X-Change Girthing System
A solution for saddle fitters when moving saddle straps from one position to another. Through this system, saddlers don’t have to leave the horse’s side to stitch straps in their workshop.
* Polymersynthetic Webbed Tree
Designed on a CAD machine for precision and symmetry, this tree is flexible and lightweight to allow your horse to have greater movement.
* GFS Transition Range
Wider, flatter panels distribute weight evenly over your horse’s back, to prevent pressure points and offer maximum comfort. The panels are flocked with siliconized wool too, allowing movement within the flocking which prevents possible bunching that can cause pressure points.
* Luxurious Leather
Hand-selected for finest quality double-stitched calfskin, GFS and GFS Premier leather offers maximum comfort and durability.
* Contoured Moulded Knee Blocks
Offer you security, without restriction, in the saddle.
* Centre of Balance Spot
GFS explains, “Due to the tree being designed on a CAD machine we were able to locate the centre of balance spot for the best positioning for the rider as well as helping to create a closer contact to the horse.”
* X-Change Gullet System
Designed specifically for horses changing shape when growing, as well as for horses whose muscle mass and body condition varies throughout the year.
* Siliconized Wool Flocked
Allows for more movement, which prevents the wool bunching up and causing pressure points.
* Dual Density Knee Block
Has a layer of memory foam that allows the block to contour around your knee for security without restriction.
* Croc Patent Cantle
Offers a luxurious finish in the GFS Premier Range.
* Anatomically Shaped Padded Headpiece
GFS bridles provide an anatomically shaped, padded headpiece that offers relief from pressure points – particularly on your horse’s poll – and allows space for their ears.
* GFS Premier Girths
Are made from luxurious leather, are memory foam filled, and are anatomically shaped for your horse’s comfort.
The beautifully crafted Pessoa XCH Saddle Range are close contact in design, providing a platform for you and your horse to find your mutual centre of balance – therefore excelling in your performance.

* Lightweight, flexible carbon fibre tree.
