John Whitaker Overton 16.5″ Adjustable Jump Saddle – Brown (Ex-Demo)

Finding a smart, supportive jump saddle that offers great rider stability without feeling overly restrictive or bulky can be a challenge—especially for riders who prefer a more compact 16.5″ seat. The John Whitaker Overton Jump Saddle strikes the perfect balance. Designed with a forward-cut flap, generous padded knee rolls, and an adjustable gullet system, it keeps you secure over fences while giving your horse total freedom of movement.

Crafted with a premium calfskin leather seat and knee pads for grip and traditional looks, paired with low-maintenance synthetic under-flaps, this ex-demo Overton gives you high-end British brand quality with easy everyday care.

At Best Horse Saddle Shop, our workshop team hand-inspects every saddle before listing. This 16.5″ John Whitaker Overton is an Ex-Demo Grade 2 condition saddle—meaning it’s in very good condition with only minimal signs of handling or light test-girthing from a demonstration, offering a fantastic saving off new retail pricing.

Built for Rider Position & Adapting Fit

The John Whitaker Overton is packed with practical features designed for performance and flexibility:

• Forward-Cut Jump Flap & Supportive Knee Roll: Offers the ideal leg angle for a shorter stirrup length, keeping your lower leg anchored and stable over fences without trapping your knee.

• Compact 16.5″ Seat: The perfect choice for junior riders, petite adults, or short-backed horses where a standard 17″ seat is simply too long.

• Adjustable Gullet Flexibility: Takes interchangeable gullet bars ranging from Narrow-Medium all the way to XX-Wide (currently fitted with a Wide bar). Ideal for young horses developing muscle or horses whose condition fluctuates across the seasons.

• Calfskin & Synthetic Hybrid Build: Enjoy luxurious calfskin grip where it matters most on top, backed by durable, wipe-clean synthetic material underneath for easy maintenance after muddy rides.
