Workshop Inspection & Quality Certification

Before any pre-owned saddle goes live on Premium Saddle Shop, it undergoes a full bench evaluation by our workshop saddlers. We inspect tree symmetry, hoop arch integrity, wool panel fill, stitching security, and billet soundness.

• Overall Rating: Grade 4 — Good Pre-Owned Condition

• Structural Rating: 100% sound across the laminated wood hoop tree frame, wool-flocked panels, and dual-point billet system.

• Cosmetic Details: Good used condition overall with normal signs of regular riding use. Exhibits moderate surface wear on both flaps, a small cosmetic scuff on the cantle, and minor loose stitching at the bottom edge of the left flap (all documented in our detailed photo gallery). The soft covered-hide leather remains supple and well-conditioned.

Model Overview

The Chunky Monkey Freedom Jump is purpose-built for broad, flat-backed horses and native ponies that typically struggle with standard A-frame saddle trees. Handcrafted in the UK using a dedicated hoop tree architecture, it provides extra arch clearance over the spine and shoulders to eliminate pinching and stop saddle movement.

Combining a forward-cut jump flap with soft covered hide and supportive external blocks, this saddle delivers high security for show jumping, cross-country, hunting, or trail riding while allowing your horse complete scapular freedom.

Workshop & Fitter Highlights

• Hoop Tree Architecture: Designed with a wider, flatter arch across the tree head to sit around broad back contours rather than sitting high or pinching the shoulders.

• Forward-Cut Flap Alignment: Provides comfortable leg clearance for riders with longer thighs without restricting the shoulder area beneath the flap.

• External Security Blocks: Features fixed external front and rear blocks to steady your leg posture during takeoff, landing, and cross-country efforts.

• Ideal for Short Backs: The compact panel design makes this model an outstanding choice for short-backed Cobs, native breeds, Warmbloods, and draft crosses.

• Customizable Wool Panels: Stuffed with 100% natural wool, allowing your qualified saddler to easily adjust the flocking density directly at your barn as your horse’s condition changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What horse breeds does the Chunky Monkey Freedom Jump fit best?

This Wide, hoop-tree model is engineered specifically for Cobs, Cob crosses, Native breeds, Draft crosses, Warmbloods, and any low-withered, flat-backed horse that needs extra barrel width and shoulder room.

Can my local saddle fitter alter the flocking?

Yes! Because the low-profile panels are stuffed with 100% natural wool, your qualified saddler can easily adjust, top up, or re-balance the flocking on-site at your yard.

How do point and balance girth straps help on wide horses?

Broad, rounder horses often experience saddle slippage. The combination of a point strap (which anchors the front) and a balance strap (which pulls from the rear of the tree) keeps the saddle locked in place without requiring overtightened girthing.
