Premier Equine Prideaux Synthetic Close Contact Jump Saddle

For serious showjumping riders looking for a saddle that is affordable without compromise on quality and performance. If you are looking for a close contact saddle that will help you improve communication between you and your horse so that you can fine tune your riding to fences this saddle has everything you need designed into the Prideaux close contact saddle by a team of top riders and saddle makers so that the rider can feel the difference. The horse will feel the difference too as these saddles tend to be lighter and allow for free movement of the shoulder due to the reduced panel size which is especially important during take-off as the shoulder needs to come up and forwards to clear the front end.

Close contact saddles are designed to bring you closer to your horse and sit deeper which reduces the saddle height on the horses back and reduces sideways rotation especially through a turn which can be crucial in achieving better balance to the next fence.

The Prideaux Close Contact Jump Saddle has been crafted from our supple synthetic leather which offers the look of leather with the added benefit of being significantly less maintenance. Engineered with a polypropylene copolymer tree which is highly durable, has exceptional stress crack resistance and superior lightweight properties. Synthetic fibre wool flocked panels offer a balanced system of pressure distribution, allowing your horse to move freely and without restriction.

This close contact jump saddle features a forward cut padded knee roll for correct leg positioning and sweeping style lines add a dynamic dimension to this close contact jumping saddle. Stainless steel safety flick stirrup bars provide a safe and easy way to attach and remove your stirrups leathers, covered with a synthetic leather skirt. Stirrup leather keepers have been placed to the rear of the flap for tidy riding and a lower panel at the bottom of the flap offers reinforcement from abrasion. Front D rings have been added for the attachment of training aids & martingales.

A medium depth seat helps to attain the correct rider position and aids the motion of being out of the seat over fences. The close contact design allows for a close feel to your horse & precise communication and the cantle has been shaped specifically for the discipline of show jumping.

A detachable knee block and thigh block with simple Velcro attachment allows for customisation and three interchangeable leather girth straps allow for effective girthing, covered with a billet guard protection panel.

We offer an affordable solution with a high level of anatomical expertise in the development of our innovative range of discipline specific saddles with customisable fitting options. For the ideal fit we advise the purchase of the PE Gullet Gauge to provide you with a guide to the best size PE gullet for use in your Premier Equine saddle.

The ideal close contact jumping saddle for the committed showjumper with the desire for customisation & affordability.

We understand that various factors can affect your horse such as health, fitness, exercise regime, age and condition. These factors may contribute to changes in shape of your horse meaning that you may need to reassess the fit of your saddle. Our PE Interchangeable Gullet System allows for quick and easy customisation of the fit of the saddle, without the additional cost of a new saddle.
