A jumping saddle is often used for riders in horse equestrian competitions. It is designed to seat the rider more forward, closer to the horse. It is often used in vaulting and reining.

What kind of saddle is used for jumping?

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.

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.


How do you ride a saddle?

a saddle is a basic piece of tack you use when riding a horse, and you can get them in many different types (e.g. general purpose saddle, jumping saddle and dressage saddle etc.). Attached to the saddle, there is a metal ring called a stirrup either side. You sit on the saddle and put your feet in the stirrups to secure your position. you hold your elbows parallel to your feet and hold on to the reins with your hands. when sat in the saddle you should sit up tall, keep your legs bent and hold your hands low, with your thumbs on top. Hope this helps!
