Can anyone recommend a jumping saddle for a coup high, wide shouldered, no wither cob?

She is currently ridden in an Andrea Hicks dressage saddle which fits perfectly and cost a fortune but I would like to learn to jump on her this year just for a bit of fun and something different to do - I can't afford to spend a fortune though...

Wintecs / Kent and Masters / Thorowgoods don't fit her - my saddler said Ideals would be a good fit for her but just wondered what everyone else with chucky beasties are jumping in?


Photo of her - not sure if its any help

How big are you intending on jumping? If it's 1.05m or less you probably don't need a jump saddle a gp would be fine. Jump saddles help get you in the correct position over a large fence. You can also get some really nice gp/jump combind saddles like the life fee garmisch with large knee and thigh rolls. Hope this helps.

oh yeah defo less than 1.05m - it would just be at home for fun as dressage is my main discipline (or that's what we are aiming for). Thanks for the advice :)

If you go back to your AH fitter she'll be able to advise you on which jump or GP would work and you could look out for one second hand.

I have spoken to my saddle fitter but just was interested to see what other people are using for their cobs to see if it threw up any ideas / brands we hadn't considered
