OptiFit Changeable Gullet System

What is the Collegiate Opti-Fit Gullet System?

The Collegiate Opti-Fit Gullet System is an innovative adjustable saddle fitting solution that allows riders to easily change the width of their saddle to suit their horse’s shape. Whether your horse is building muscle, changing condition, or you ride multiple horses, the Opti-Fit system ensures your saddle always delivers the perfect fit.

With a choice of interchangeable gullet plates, the Opti-Fit system lets you fine-tune the fit in minutes—helping your horse move freely, perform better, and stay comfortable in every ride.

Key Benefits of the Opti-Fit System

  • Customised Fit – Adjust the saddle width to suit your horse’s withers and back shape.

  • Quick & Easy Changes – Swap gullet plates in minutes without special tools.

  • Long-Term Value – One saddle fits multiple horses or adapts as your horse changes.

  • Comfort & Performance – Better fit means improved weight distribution, freedom of movement, and reduced pressure points.

  • Versatile Design – Available across the Collegiate range, including dressage, jump, and all-purpose saddles.

How the Opti-Fit Gullet System Works

The Opti-Fit system comes with a range of colour-coded gullet plates, each representing a different width. Simply remove the saddle’s easy-access panel, change the gullet plate to your chosen size, and reassemble—it’s that simple.

Available gullet sizes typically range from Narrow to Extra Wide, ensuring there’s an option for almost every horse and riding discipline.
