Fairfax Classic Jump Cupped Flap

A traditional two-flap saddle designed for the competitive rider looking to achieve a closer connectivity with their horse when jumping. While the rider appreciates the enhanced comfort and luxury afforded by the quality leather.

  • A precisely aligned seat to balance the rider over the fence and enable a close contact feel with the horse
  • Billet placement, including a balance strap, provides four girthing options to fine-tune the fit to the horse’s shape and movement
  • Super-soft full grain hide on the seat
  • Stitched-on knee roll is positioned to provide superior support for the rider’s leg in the shorter jumping length
  • Larger thigh block than the Classic Jump Plain Flap
  • The deeply-cushioned, soft knee rolls are able to accommodate a variety of upper leg lengths and provide optimum support and stability over the fence and on the flat 
  • The horse benefits from all the research and development that went in to our Performance saddles
