Professional show jumping saddle with the patented Performance Panel proven to reduce pressure, increase flexion and improve clearance over a fence.
A finely honed low-profile seat gives the rider that sought-after close-contact feel. Available with a choice of either the performance-enhancing wool-flocked Performance Panel, or a close-contact foam panel which provides the same support and stability while allowing the horse to flex and use his back on take-off without restriction.
- The finely honed low-profile seat gives a feeling of closeness
- Deep cushioned knee pad
- The patented Performance Panel is proven to reduce saddle pressure and allow greater freedom of movement over a fence, resulting in better clearance
- Adjustable shoulder blocks under the flap offer custom-made support for riders with shorter legs. Longer legged riders can remove the block to create more room and bring them closer to their horse
Design Details
Scientifically researched
All Fairfax saddles are designed using the scientific research and development that goes into our Performance and World Class ranges. Every saddle benefits from our pressure-relieving design experience – so the horse benefits too!
Handmade in England
All our saddles are handmade in Walsall, England by highly skilled Master Saddlers.
Prolite®-lined panel
The wool-flocked panels are lined with a layer of Prolite® for proven pressure distribution, while still allowing for traditional re-flocking on site
Changeable Gullet Bars
All saddles feature a changeable gullet bar (either S-Bar or R-Bar) which allows the saddle fitter to choose the width fitting that best suits the profile of the horse’s withers. The bars can be changed quickly and easily as the horse develops or changes shape.
British Wool Flocking
British wool provides superior softness and comfort for the horse. Each saddle has two flocking slots which make it easy for your saddle fitter to make quick fitting adjustments on site.
Girthing Options
All Fairfax Jump saddles (World Class, Performance and Classic) have three billets (straps), with the third one being moveable. They do not have a point strap (like the GP models), but there is the option on the Classic Petite Jump for the saddle fitter to attach a billet to the point.
The saddle fitter will begin by girthing in the neutral position using the 1st and 3rd billets
If the saddle is moving back, the saddle fitter will use the 2nd and 3rd billets
If the saddle lifts at the back, the saddle fitter will move the last billet to the balance ring and use the 2nd and 4th billets
In the cases of the saddle lifting at the back, or asymmetric movement, where extra stability is required the saddle fitter will use the 1st and 4th position
DON’T USE the 1st and 2nd billets together – this will cause instability

- Trim: plain or croc
- Welt: grey, plain black, patent black, Havana, tan
- Stitch: grey, black, Havana, tan

Care & Use
The correct care of your Fairfax saddle is essential. Follow these instructions to ensure years of happy service from your purchase
- If you have purchased your saddle new, it will come with a tube of Rapide Leathergel. Apply a generous coat of Rapide before first use, using a soft cloth or sheepskin mitt.
- Any dirt etc should be removed with a damp cloth after use.
- Then re-apply Leathergel at least once a week to dry, clean leather. Apply to all surfaces.
- Never use wet tack.
- Do NOT use any products containing alcohol (such as spray soap), glycerine (eg saddle soap) or oil (including neatsfoot) on this saddle. Any colour loss or damage to the leather caused by these products will not be covered by the saddle’s guarantee.
- If your saddle gets wet (in the rain or on the XC course for eg) allow the leather to dry naturally. Do not use external heat sources.
- Check regularly that all four gullet bolts and the two panel screws remain tight.
- Rapide Leathergel is readily available online. This is the only product we recommend for the care and maintenance of your Fairfax saddle.
