Berney Grand Prix Dublin Jumper

Description

Saddle Description 

The Dublin Show Jumper is one of our most popular Hunting Saddles. This traditionally designed jumping saddle is more forward cut than any of our other saddles, this allows the rider to ride with a shorter stirrup length if needed

Saddle Tree 

As with all of Berney’s saddles, this saddle is made with a medium deep laminated beech wood spring tree that is strength tested to the British Safety Standard. By using a spring tree we were able to achieve added shock absorbency while keeping the saddle lightweight. We designed the tree with a reinforced gullet plate for extra strength and a sloped head to better accommodate the horse’s withers.

WOOL FLOCKING

The material we use to achieve the ultimate comfort and welfare for the horse is our fully leather lined panels flocked with pure new wool. The biggest advantage that this material provides against others is that it spreads the weight of impact over a bigger surface area allowing the horse full use of themselves. Pure new wool also retains its spring and shock absorbency over time and moulds to the shape of the horse’s back compensating for horses changing shape throughout the season.

Leather type 

The Dublin Show Jumper is made with a durable Flap leather, making it ideal for everyday use.

ORTHOPAEDIC MEMORY FOAM SEAT

Berney Bros are able to provide the most comfort to the horse and rider by using a combination of orthopaedic memory foam, a spring tree, and wool flocked panels. The orthopaedic memory foam is embedded into the seat of the saddle and retains its spring and shock absorbency over time providing a really comfortable seat for the rider and aiding the horse by absorbing the impact of the rider’s movement.

Knee Roll 

This Saddle has a long knee roll in the front and stuffed roll behind the riders leg which gives them more support without restricting.

GIRTH STRAPS

A saddle with two flaps suits a jumping rider that may want to alter their girth several times. The two flap system allows quicker and easier access to the girth. This saddle is fitted with three buffalo hide girth straps that are attached to two separate cross over webs that are strong and durable.

THE FIT FOR RIDER AND HORSE

This saddle is available in sizes 17” and 18” for the rider.  The fit refers to the shape and prominence of the horse’s withers. We find that a medium fit is perfect for the majority of horses. However if your horse has a very high wither, most commonly found with more blood horses then a narrow fit may be better and if your horse has a relatively low wither then a wide fit would be better.
