Ghost Saddle Options

Custom Design Options for your Ghost Saddle

Ghost is one of the few treeless brands that allows you to truly customize and personalize your saddle! Please look through the options below, and if something catches your eye, or if you have a special request, let us know and we will see what Ghost can do for you!

The Hidden Pommel

The hidden or 'invisible' pommel is a popular 'classic look' option.

Available at no extra charge. It pairs nicely with our dressage or Spanish style saddles.

It adds more structure and support to the base/front of the saddle so is the recommended option on the Italy jumping model .

Leather or Nappa Upgrade $150

Upgrade your saddle to a lovely smooth leather for $150.00
With a range of colours, this smooth leather is premium quality, wears well and smells divine!

Julia smooth leather shown here in black. Lorica on other parts.

Embroidered Seat $80

Now you can choose to have this beautiful detailing on any new Ghost saddle you purchase. Another gorgeous way of making the saddle uniquely yours!

Do note that some riders find the embroidery does make the seat less soft and cushy..

Tooling & Stitching $25

Available for $25 is the option to have a lovely tooled or embossed 'flower' type pattern on your saddle flap This can look great on the Quevis or Quilty saddles, especially when combined with fenders + stitching for a western feel!

Also available is the option to have the saddle flap, stitched, which also adds to the Western look.

Custom Base & Panels $150

For an additional $150 the Ghost Cantle Base (the part which your seat attaches too) and the velcro on panels can be crafted in a matching leather of your saddle seat. Otherwise standard is black.

Piping $100

A beautiful piping detail around rim of seat and other borders. Available in different colours, contact us to find out more.

Diamonds/Studs $120

Add a touch of bling to your saddle! Diamonds or studs can be added round the rim of your cantle, to make your Ghost saddle truly unique and stand out!

Knee Block or Thigh Roll Options $150

While many love the passive security the standard Ghost thigh rolls offer, some riders prefer to have nothing impeding their leg movements. There is the option of having no thigh rolls on all models, or half thickness rolls if these are preferred.

Extra D Rings $40 a pair

Ghost saddles come standard with a set of stainless steel D Rings by the pommel (1 per side, upper d ring in photo) and 1 rear pair of d rings (plus 1 single d ring behind the cantle for securing a saddle pad) Additional D Rings are usually added at the front below the original pair (as seen in this photo.) You can also have another rear set of d rings added too.

Biothane Girth Straps

Ghost saddles tend to come with the biothane straps matched to your colour of saddle - black or brown. However if you would prefer one colour over the other please let us know.

Longer/Shorter Flaps $120

For those taller or shorter riders who would prefer a different length 'flap' Ghost can tailor the flap to your preference. Shown is a Quevis & Quilty with a 5cm longer flap. The Dressage saddles can also have their flap lengthened, and for the petite ladies you can also have the flap shortened, for models like the Barocco. $120.00

Lowered Cantle or Higher Cantle $80

For those who may have trouble dismounting due to pain or certain conditions, the cantle of the Ghost can also be lowered slightly. For those who want an even deeper, more secure seat the cantle can also be raised. $80.00

Western Horn $150

For a touch of the wild west, you can choose to add a stainless steel horn to your Ghost pommel. Do note this is for decoration or attaching light items only, and is not intended for roping etc!

Base Panels $200 +

Ghost Saddles usually come standard with the Italy style panels shown along the top row, these are our thicker, firmest, best pressure distributing panels, and are a closed panel with a neat and tidy look.

The base panels are comprised of a top layer of thin formo (a stiff white/grey material) then a layer of 2 cm or 2.5 cm blue foam with excellent weight distribution and response-time properties (which remain at all operation temps) and 1 - 2 layers of a softer, shape-forming black foam. This combination gives the best pressure distribution and is recommended for all riders, especially heavier riders, or those doing endurance.

The thickest panels have 2 layers of the soft foam and are recommended for riders over 82kg or those over 75kg competing in endurance.

There is also the option of an opening panel, for those who may like to shim the panel. However Ghost now offers stand alone shims in a pocket which work brilliantly (which go between the panel and the base, eliminating the need to fiddle with panels)

For those who have older Ghost saddles or who have purchased saddles second hand, upgrading to the latest panels with new foams can be an excellent idea.

If you have some older panels you would like to reinforce, we can supply a layer of the stiff 'formo' which you can slide inside the top of your existing panel foams, to provide better weight distribution.

You can also choose to have your panels lined in wool or lorica, and the top colour matched to your saddle as shown in the picture on the bottom right. This matching incurs an additional fee. The standard is sympanova lined panels, done in black.

The Ghost Western or USA Options

The Ghost Western or USA comes standard with a horn and fenders for $2,700
Choose from a Western or English girth system and a square or round wool lined skirt.
