Jump saddles for sale
Quick Links
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 more forward cut to accommodate this. European saddle brands often offer different flap lengths and forwardness. This can be found on the stamp of the saddle. It varies between brands in terms of how to decode this. However, if you are unsure, speak to our team of experts. Jump saddles are typically flatter through the seat for less interference over fences, enabling the rider to return to a neutral position after landing. Knee blocks on jump saddles vary depending on the rider's preference, ability and level of support required. Monoflap jump saddles feature external knee blocks for support; 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. However, this often means that they are not moveable and cannot be positioned to suit the rider. European saddles are often made from luxurious calfskin leather, with tougher leather used on certain parts of the saddle, such as the wear strip along the bottom of the flap. Calfskin leather offers additional grip and support to the rider whilst offering a luxurious feel.
