CLOSE CONTACT SADDLES
The Close Contact saddle is also called a Hunt Seat or Forward Seat saddle. They are designed for riders that participate in foxhunting, show jumping, hunt seat equitation, stadium, and cross-country events. Close Contact saddles feature generously cut flaps that curve to the front to allow for a shorter stirrup length, which accommodates the rider's legs while going over jumps. The seat on a Close Contact saddle is somewhat flat and their cantles and pommels are low, to prevent interference with the rider's jumping position.

DRESSAGE SADDLES
Dressage saddles are designed to accommodate the longer leg position of riders who focus on flatwork and do not jump. Dressage saddles have deep seats, with straight-cut, long flaps. This design helps the rider sit deep in the saddle, which allows for clearer communication of seat aids. In most cases, the billets on dressage saddles are very long, which allows the girth to be buckled near the horse's elbow rather than underneath the rider's leg, further enhancing communication with the horse.
These are great for any rider who wants to learn to ride in a dressage style but doesn't want to spend years obsessing over their saddle. They're also great if you just want something that looks nice and is comfortable!
These styles can be used by riders of all ages and experience levels.
