The most comfortable jumping saddles:
- Renaissance F
The Renaissance F is a jumping saddle trusted by top equestrian stars such as Jarosław Skrzyczyński, Martin Fuchs, and Henrik Von Eckerman. This model is valued for its relatively shallow seat and small blocks, which allow for a balanced and relaxed ride. It's a close-contact saddle, creating the impression of being constantly close to the horse. During jumping, this model provides better support in the stirrups and relieves pressure on the knees. The Renaissance F saddle is equipped with a tree made of a special type of synthetic fiber for durability.
