Chunky Monkey Freedom Jump 17″ Wide Hoop Tree Wool-Flocked Leather Saddle – Black

Finding a high-performance jump saddle that actually fits cobs, natives, and broad-backed horses without slipping, pinching, or bridging can feel like an impossible task. The Chunky Monkey Freedom Jump Saddle is specifically engineered to solve that exact problem. Handcrafted in the UK around a specialized wooden hoop tree, it features an extra-wide gullet arch and low-profile, wool-flocked panels designed to lie flat and secure across flat, wide backs—giving your horse total shoulder freedom while providing you with a supportive, confidence-boosting seat over fences.

At Best Horse Saddle Shop, our workshop team hand-inspects every pre-owned saddle before listing. This 17″ Wide Chunky Monkey Freedom Jump is in Grade 4 condition—showing honest, moderate wear from regular use, including a minor cosmetic cantle scuff and a small area of loose stitching at the bottom of the left flap, but remaining 100% structurally sound with a solid tree, supple covered hide leather, and plush wool flocking.

Built for Broad Backs & Shoulder Freedom

The Freedom Jump is packed with thoughtful design elements built for rounder equine conformations:

• Specialized Hoop Tree Arch: Unlike standard inverted-V trees that pinch round shoulders, the hoop tree creates a rounded, arching tree shape that sits comfortably over flat backs without tipping forward.

• Shoulder-Free Panel Cut: Straight-cut panel fronts allow the shoulder blade to slide back freely during takeoff and landing, preventing restriction over fences.

• Ideal Conformation Fit: Exceptional choice for Cobs, Native breeds, Draft crosses, Warmbloods, and short-backed, broad horses with low withers.

• Adjustable Wool-Flocked Panels: Packed with traditional 100% natural wool flocking, allowing your qualified saddle fitter to make ongoing micro-adjustments as your horse builds muscle or changes condition.

• Point & Balance Girthing: Equipped with point and balance billet straps to anchor the saddle securely, preventing forward or side-to-side slipping over terrain.
