You can jump in a saddle seat saddle the same way that you could jump in a western saddle or bareback. However, it will be difficult because the balance in a saddle seat saddle is different from that in a hunt seat saddle. With a saddle seat saddle, your weight is further back, and the stirrups are much longer. Also, saddle seat saddles lack knee rolls. If you are going over high jumps, it will be very hard to keep your balance in a saddle seat saddle.

∙ 14y agoA jumping saddle usually has shorter, more foreward flaps to accomedate the riders leg with a shorter stirrup set. Depending on the kind of jumping that is done and the preference of the rider, the saddle can have a flat or deep seat.

Are hurdle saddles the same as the dressage saddles?
No. Hurdle saddles or jumping saddles have knee rolls and a deeper seat which helps to hold the rider into the saddle. Dressage saddles are flatter and provide closer contact with the horse through the leg area. The seat is does not have the shape a jumping saddle has. It doesn't cradle the rider like a jumping saddle.
