Jumping saddles are specialized saddles designed for equestrian activities, particularly show jumping and eventing. They feature a forward-cut design that allows riders to maintain a balanced position while jumping. The flaps are shorter and more angled, providing better leg contact with the horse, which enhances communication between the rider and the horse during jumps. These saddles often come with additional features such as knee rolls and thigh blocks to help stabilize the rider's position. Made from high-quality leather or synthetic materials, jumping saddles are tailored to fit both the horse and rider, ensuring comfort and performance during competitive events like show jumping and cross-country.
