The Henri de Rivel Close Contact Jump Saddle is a traditional English-style jumping saddle designed to provide a balanced riding position and close feel between horse and rider. With its generous 19" seat, this saddle is an especially useful option for riders who need more room than is typically available in close-contact jumping saddles.
The forward-cut jumping flaps provide room for the rider's knee when riding at a shorter jumping stirrup length, while the supportive knee area helps maintain a secure leg position without creating an overly restrictive feel.
This saddle carries Henri de Rivel's 2.5 Fit designation - Medium Wide Tree.
The traditional close-contact configuration makes this a versatile saddle for hunters, jumping, equitation, lessons, schooling, and general English riding.
