Royal Heritage Stella Saddle

The flatter seat provides more room to shift your weight and adjust your position in the saddle, which is particularly helpful when navigating jumping courses. It offers greater freedom of movement compared to a deep-seated dressage saddle, allowing you to stay balanced over the horse's center of gravity.

Wool-flocked panels can be professionally adjusted or 're-flocked' to better match the contours of your horse's back. This makes them a versatile choice if your horse changes shape due to muscle development or age, unlike foam panels which are generally static.

The changeable gullet system is ideal if you need to make quick, simple width adjustments yourself using a specific tool. The spectrum adjustable tree is typically better if you require more nuanced, ongoing adjustments to accommodate a horse that is still developing or changing frequently.

Yes, the doubled leather is chosen for its combination of grip and durability. While it is soft and supple to provide that 'sticky' feel for security in the saddle, it is constructed to withstand the rigors of daily training sessions.

The forward flap is specifically cut to accommodate the shorter stirrup length required for jumping. It provides the necessary support for your leg position while ensuring your knee doesn't go over the front of the saddle flap during a jump.
