WOW currently has many hundreds of possible permutations of Panel configurations. To limit the choice, we have split the panels into categories and then limited the available options. If you are looking for an option that is not there then we would politely ask you to reconsider your choice of Panel or ring us to discuss after first ensuring you have emailed us pictures of the horse.

Extended Forward Type Panels are for dressage horses with very long, very high withers, and a long back and when the rider is very small (compared to the horse). The seat size may be correct for the rider, but moving the seat back 3cm puts the rider's weight in a more correct position for dressage.  The panel allows the whole seat/tree to be moved back on the horse by 3cm while the front of the panel is placed in the same conventional position.

It must be noted that the headplate size should normally increase by one as the headplate will be located 3cm further back on the horse. You may also have to consider the use of a Foregirth Option if a Point Strap is normally used on the horse. This is because moving the seat back 3cm results in the Point Strap being 3cm further back as well. An H Girth and Balance Straps are not normally required to counter the 'normal' effect of a Foregirth Option as the panel support surface has been extended forwards, therefore not causing the saddle to tip up in back.

How to Order
