The Rowland Genuine Leather Jumping Saddle, often referred to as a close contact saddle, is crafted to give riders the best balance and support while jumping. Its shallow seat offers more freedom of movement, making it easier for riders to lean forward over fences. Plus, the flaps are designed to be short and forward-cut, which perfectly suits the bent knees and shorter stirrup lengths that jumping requires.
