Expert Saddle Fitter’s Overview & Fit Guide
The Premium Saddle Shop Freedom Jump is purpose-built for broad-backed horses and ponies that often struggle with standard tree shapes. Constructed on an open, rounded hoop tree with low-profile, wool-flocked panels, this saddle delivers exceptional stability, pressure distribution, and shoulder freedom over fences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
General & Saddle Fit
What is a Hoop Tree and why is it better for broad horses?
A hoop tree features a flatter, wider, rounded arch at the front compared to an inverted ‘V’ shape on standard saddle trees. This shape mirrors the flatter, rounder back profiles of Cobs, Draft crosses, and Native breeds, preventing the saddle from sitting high or pinching the shoulders.
Will this saddle work for short-backed horses?
Yes! The Freedom Jump combines compact wool-flocked panels with a broad bearing surface, making it an excellent choice for short-backed horses where panel length is a constraint.
What does “Grade 4 Condition” mean for this saddle?
Grade 4 indicates a pre-owned saddle in good working condition with standard cosmetic wear. On Saddle ID 253192, this includes moderate flap wear, a small cantle scuff, and minor loose stitching on the lower left flap, while remaining 100% structurally sound.
Trials, Shipping & Returns
How does the 5-Day Saddle Trial work for US and UK buyers?
Order the saddle online to secure it for trial. Once delivered, you have 5 full days to test the fit with your qualified saddle fitter. If you decide to keep it, you’re all set! If you need to return it, contact us within 5 days for return instructions.
Do you ship internationally outside the US and UK?
Yes! We ship globally using fast, tracked express couriers. While full trial periods are limited to US mainland and UK clients due to customs processing times, international riders still enjoy major cost savings importing quality saddles through our store.
Warranty & Leather Care
What warranty comes with this pre-owned saddle?
All secondhand saddles from Premium Saddle Shop include a 6-Month Soundness Warranty covering internal tree integrity and structural soundness under fair wear and proper care.
How should I clean soft covered hide leather?
Wipe down after use with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dust. Apply a dedicated leather conditioner or balm periodically to preserve the soft, grippy feel of the hide. Avoid over-saturating the leather or using harsh chemical cleaners.
