What kind of saddle is used for jumping?
You can jump in a saddle seat saddle the same way that you could
jump in a western saddle or bareback. However, it will be difficult
because the balance in a saddle seat saddle is different from that
in a hunt seat saddle. With a saddle seat saddle, your weight is
further back, and the stirrups are much longer. Also, saddle seat
saddles lack knee rolls. If you are going over high jumps, it will
be very hard to keep your balance in a saddle seat saddle.
