Jump saddles enable the rider to shorten their stirrup leathers to stand up from their stirrups over the fence to enable the horse to clear the jump. When shortening the stirrups, the rider's knee will naturally sit further forward. As a result, the flap on jump saddles has to be cut more forward to accommodate this. Jump saddles are typically flatter through the seat for less interference over fences, enabling the rider to return to a neutral position after landing. With cob jump saddles, it is common to find slim yet broad panels to help keep the saddle close to the horse, avoiding the 'perched on' feel and preventing the saddle from slipping. Cobs often also have large shoulders. Therefore, a panel type which accommodates this through a split panel design or quilted stitching is favourable. Knee blocks on jump saddles vary depending on the rider's preference, ability and level of support required. Jump saddles are available as either monoflap or dual-flap options. Monoflap jump saddles will feature external knee blocks for support.
In contrast, dual-flap jump saddles feature a knee block under the main flap. This may be fixed or velcro, depending on the brand and model. Many jump saddles also offer a back block, which can help prevent the leg from coming too far back, ensuring the rider maintains the optimum position. If using a monoflap jump saddle, you will need an appropriately sized short girth, which should not interfere with the horse's elbow and allow them freedom of movement. Cob jump saddles also typically offer a more generous gullet channel than standard jump saddles. This helps to ensure that the saddle panels do not sit directly on the horse's spine, as this is a sensitive area. Furthermore, cob jump saddles are typically offered in widths up to 2XW or 4XW (depending on the brand). Some are also built on 'hoop' trees designed for rounder types.
The choice of cob jump saddles is limited. However, the ones available in the market are designed specifically for cobs and can work well. Popular cob jump saddles include the Chunky Monkey Freedom Jump, GFS Monarch Cob Jump and Andrea Hicks jump saddles.
