Jump Saddlery & Tack

Engineered to support seamless rider balance, security over fences, and uninhibited shoulder rotation, the Syd Hill Jump Collection delivers specialized equipment for showjumping and eventing. Crafted from grippy full-grain European leathers and supple calfskin, this range includes forward-cut jump saddles, anatomical English bridles, low-profile stirrup leathers, and shock-absorbing jump pads. Built on our SHX changeable gullet tree technology with Y-girthing systems and adjustable thigh blocks, these saddles keep you locked into your two-point stance while leaving your horse’s back and shoulders free to fold cleanly over takeoff.

How Does Flap Geometry and Block Placement Support a Balanced Two-Point Position?

When approaching a fence, your lower leg must remain anchored directly underneath your hips to support your weight through takeoff and landing. Forward-cut jump flaps accommodate shorter stirrup lengths, providing a supportive pocket that prevents your knee from hanging over the front edge of the pannel. Paired with repositionable front and rear thigh blocks, a Syd Hill jump saddle cradles your lower leg, keeping your knee and ankle aligned to absorb impact over fences without tipping forward onto the pommel or falling behind the motion

Why Is Shoulder Clearance and Panel Flocking Critical for Power at Takeoff?

A jumping horse needs total freedom in the scapula to reach up and fold its front legs cleanly over top rails. Heavy, rigid panels or narrow tree arches restrict shoulder rotation, leading to flat bascules or knocked rails. Syd Hill jump saddles feature broad, flock-filled gusseted panels and wide channel spacing that spread weight evenly across the back muscles while relieving spine pressure. Equipped with our SHX changeable gullet system, you can adjust tree width as your horse develops muscular strength, ensuring unhindered shoulder movement into every fence.
