Influence of seat and Flap

A deep seat is used in dressage to hold the rider in position, because a flat seat is used for jumping to provide freedom of movement.

A long, straight flap indicates a straight up-

-‐and--‐

down leg position, as in dressage, because eventing and jumping require a shorter flap that tilts forward to allow for the two-

-‐point jumping position.Slide6

General purpose English saddle

These saddles are also known as general purpose English saddles.

They have a deep seat

.

The medium to long flaps are slightly forward

.An all purpose English saddle is used in entry and intermediate level Equitation and jumping classes, trail riding and schoolingSlide7

Close Contact English Saddles

A close contact English saddle has a relatively flat seat, occasionally with knee rolls

.

The flaps are well--‐ forward

.

These are used in hunt seat equitation, hunter--‐ jumper classes, fox hunting and the jumping phase of eventing.Slide8

Hunter Jumper English Saddles

Hunter jumper English saddles have a moderately deep seat.

They also have medium flaps that are somewhat forward

and may have a knee

These saddles are used in hunter--‐jumper classes, fox hunting and eventing.Slide9

Dressage Saddles

Girth placement is more forward than on other English saddles.

T he deep seat on a dressage saddle positions the body more forward

.

The flaps are long and straight up and down

.These are used only in dressage competitions and training.Slide10

Eventing Saddle

In an eventing English saddle, he rider’s weight is displaced over a wider area of the horse’s back to prevent fatigue

.

The saddle has a long, relatively flat seat with extra padding.

The flaps are wider and thicker than other English saddles

.They are used in the equitation, jumping and cross country aspects of eventing

.Slide11

Racing Saddle

Smallest of all English saddles

Minimalist design to reduce weight the horse carries (basically a place for the jockey to sit/stand)

Flat seat, short, flat flapsSlide12

Saddle seat saddle

Flat open seat- allows rider to sit “behind the motion” of the horse (behind center of gravity)

Longer wider straight flaps

No knee rolls

Now sweat flap

Open pommel to not interfere with shoulder movementSlide13

Side saddleSlide14

Treeless saddle

Has no tree so it conforms exactly to the back of the animal

Less pressure points for pain

Said to be good for riders with back problems (less concussion)Slide15

Endurance or

stock saddleSlide16
