John Whitaker Junior Pro Jump 16″ Heat-Adjustable Leather Saddle – Brown

Designed specifically for ambitious young equestrians, the John Whitaker Junior Pro Jump offers the ideal balance of security, close-contact precision, and professional jumping geometry. Handcrafted from soft, grippy calfskin leather across the seat and rolls, this 16″ saddle features a forward-cut flap angle that accommodates shorter jumping stirrups, allowing junior riders to maintain a centered, balanced position over fences. Stylish contrast white piping and patriotic red, white, and blue detailing on the stirrup keeper give it a distinctive, competition-ready finish.

At Best Horse Saddle Shop, our workshop team hand-inspects every pre-owned saddle in our collection. This 16″ Junior Pro Jump is in Grade 5 condition—showing honest cosmetic wear from active young riders, but remaining 100% structurally sound and ready for many more rounds in the show ring or pony club arena.

Rider Confidence & Close-Contact Feel

The Junior Pro Jump is purpose-built to help young riders develop balanced leg position and confidence over fences:

• Forward-Cut Junior Geometry: Proportioned specifically for younger legs riding with shorter stirrup lengths, providing generous room without forcing a fixed position.

• Large Padded Calfskin Knee Rolls: Generous, soft knee blocks anchor the leg and offer reassuring support during approaches and landings.

• Close-Contact Calfskin Seat: Soft calfskin leather across the seat ensures immediate grip and direct connection to the pony’s back.

• Heat-Adjustable Tree: Features a heat-adjustable tree matrix on a Medium-Wide base, allowing qualified saddle fitters to adjust width parameters as your pony conditions or changes shape.

• Low-Maintenance Foam Panels: Low-profile foam panels create an even weight-bearing footprint while keeping the rider close to the action.
