PARTS OF THE SADDLE

SADDLE MEASUREMENTS

D, where it bisects B-C in a perpendicular line, indicates the deepest part of the seat

JUMPING SADDLES

Designed to provide the rider with optimum balance when riding with a shorter stirrup over fences.

Jumping saddles tend to have more forward flaps, shallower seats, and panels constructed to allow the closest contact between rider and horse.

DRESSAGE SADDLES

Designed to provide the rider with optimum balance and support when riding with a longer stirrup on the flat.

Dressage saddles tend to have straighter flaps, deeper seats, and larger thigh rolls or blocks. The panels are constructed to disburse the rider's weight over a larger area of the horse's back while allowing maximum freedom of movement.

ALL-PURPOSE SADDLES

Designed to provide the rider with a comfortable, fairly central seat for riding on the flat, with flaps placed more forward to allow for a jumping-length stirrup.

All-purpose saddles are well-suited for pleasure riding and fox-hunting, but provide a correct position and balance for only basic jumping and flatwork.

CROSS-COUNTRY SADDLES

Designed to enable the rider to gallop and jump across country with short stirrups in a secure, balanced position.

Cross-country saddles are built for a specific purpose, but may also suit riders for show jumping. They usually have a fairly shallow seat, very forward flap placement, and often have long billets to reduce the bulk of girth buckles under the rider's legs,
