SADDLES
Hunter/Jumper - Close contact jumping saddle which features a seat with a low pommel and a square cantle.  Saddle flaps are cut forward witha smooth padded knee area.  Most riders prefer a small knee roll or block and many jumper riders also use a rear block for greater security.  Colors are natural tan to medium brown.
Eventing - at the lower levels, many riders use a jumpingsaddle for all three phases.  At the upper levels, most riders own a Dressage saddle, and a jumping saddle with a flap forward enough for the short stirrup length required for the Cross country phase. Colors can be brown, black, or natural tan.
Dressage - Dressage saddles feature long straight cut flaps with a deep, supportive seat. Knee or thigh blocks may be small or quite large according to the rider's preference. The preferred color is black.
