Close Contact Jumping Saddles

Close-contact saddles are designed with a flatter seat and forward-cut flap to accommodate shorter stirrup lengths and support a balanced jumping position. This style of saddle is ideal for riders in jumping disciplines, including hunters, jumpers, and eventers. Compared to other English saddle styles, close-contact saddles typically feature smaller knee blocks and less bulk beneath the rider's leg, providing a closer feel and more direct connection with the horse.
