The jumping saddle is designed for show jumping. The most unique feature is a forward-cut flap that allows for a shorter stirrup length (although not as short as racing stirrups). The flap often has supportive padded knee rolls, especially for show jumping. The balance of the seat is further back and relatively flat, with the cantle and pommel low so there is no interference with the rider's jumping position.
The jumping saddle usually has three short billets. However, newer styles (such as monoflap jumping saddles) have longer billets that mirror the dressage saddle, so that the rider no longer has to ride with extra bulk under the leg.
It is important that the rider's leg fit appropriately into the flap of the jumping saddle when the stirrups are shortened. If the knee is too far forward or back, the rider's balance will be off and the saddle becomes a hindrance than an advantage when jumping.
