Kent & Masters saddles are only available from our network of independent retailers - you can't order direct from us (neither in the UK or overseas)
Kent & Masters 16½ Jump
The perfect jump saddle for short-coupled horses, petite adults riding smaller horses or ponies, or leggy teenagers. Suitable for show jumping and cross country, the forward-cut flaps and moveable blocks combine to support the rider’s leg in the shorter jumping position.
- A seat shaped to enable the rider to dynamically adjust their centre of balance over the fence.
- Velcro knee and calf blocks under the flap which can be positioned to suit your leg length and position.
- Changeable girthing arrangement which allows saddle stability to be optimised for various types of pony conformation and different movement.
Features
Made in Walsall
We have been making saddles at our workshop in the West Midlands for more than 25 years. Our skilled craftsmen are qualified Master Saddlers who use traditional saddle-making techniques to ensure each and every saddle is made with consistency, care, love and attention to detail.
Design know-how
Our in-house design team includes riders who have competed internationally, qualified saddle fitters, technical specialists and experienced horsemen. This unique combination of talent, expertise and experience allows us to produce saddles for horses and riders of every shape at every level.
Changeable gullet bar
A changeable gullet bar allows you or your saddle fitter to modify the width of the saddle’s gullet to suit the horse’s wither profile as the horse changes shape with either exercise, muscle development, maturity or rest. There are 8 options in the short S-bar and 7 in the long R-bar.
100% British wool flocking
Wool is a natural fibre and provides superior softness and comfort for the horse because it moulds and settles quickly, giving optimum panel contact with the horse’s back. Two reinforced flocking slots make it easy for your saddle fitter to do any necessary adjustments to fit on-site
Girthing Information
The Kent & Masters Pony Jump Saddle is fitted with three girth straps (billets), the third one being moveable.
This flexible girthing arrangement allows saddle stability to be optimised instantly.
Begin by girthing in the neutral position using the second and third billet.
(NOTE: This is the same as girthing on the first and third billets on a saddle with a conventional girthing system)
If you find the saddle slips forward, you can use the point (front) strap and the third strap
If the back of the saddle lifts away from the horse’s back, use the point (front) strap and the floating balance position (4)
NEVER girth using the point strap and first strap. This causes saddle instability and potential discomfort for your horse.
Moveable Knee & Thigh Block
This saddle has two moveable Velcro blocks that can be adjusted to suit the leg support your need. If you prefer to ride with shorter stirrups, or have short legs, position the knee block higher up.
