Expert Saddle Fitter’s Overview & Fit Guide

The Jeffries Stamford Working Hunter Saddle is a masterclass in classic English saddlery design, bridging the gap between a straight-cut show saddle and a forward-cut general-purpose saddle. Specially crafted to accentuate the horse’s shoulder and conformation for the show ring, it provides just enough forward projection and support to allow freedom of movement over fences.

Equine Fit Profile

• Wither & Back Profile: Engineered for horses with a standard wither height and a broad, wide back profile.

• Shoulder Clearance: The neat, straight-cut flap layout leaves the shoulder blade completely unobstructed, allowing clean, unimpeded extension in the flat phase and over jumps.

• Wool-Flocked Panels: Traditional, high-grade wool-flocked panels allow your independent saddle fitter to easily balance, adjust, or top up the flocking for a custom, pressure-free fit across your horse’s back.

Saddle Condition Report

• Overall Grade: Grade 4 – Pre-owned saddle in good working condition with standard cosmetic signs of use.

• Wear Notes: Light, minor leather wear on both flaps; light scuffing on the pommel and cantle (as shown in listing photographs).

• Inspection Status: Billets, stitching, internal tree, and wool panels fully inspected and verified 100% sound by our workshop specialists.

Key Features

• Hybrid Hunter Design: Flatter seat and straight-cut profile present a clean, elegant silhouette in the show ring while supporting the rider’s jump position.

• Dual Flap Construction: Traditional dual-flap layout with soft leather knee rolls for exceptional rider comfort.

• Fixed Knee Blocks: Integrated knee blocks offer subtle, reassuring stability without restricting leg placement.

• Specifications: Working Hunter / Show discipline; 16-inch flap length; 17″ seat with Wide tree width.

This Wide tree model is ideal for horses with standard withers and a broader back contour. Its straight-cut flap ensures maximum shoulder freedom, making it a favorite for horses needing uninhibited movement through the shoulder.

What does “Grade 4 Condition” mean for this listing?

Grade 4 indicates a sound pre-owned saddle with normal cosmetic signs of wear. On this Jeffries Stamford, this includes light wear on both flaps and minor scuffs on the pommel and cantle, with all structural components completely intact and sound.

Can this saddle be used for everyday riding as well as showing?

Yes! The Stamford model is designed as a hybrid hunter saddle—combining the neat aesthetics needed for working hunter and show classes with the everyday comfort required for hacking, flatwork, and jumping.

Wipe down after riding with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Treat periodically with a dedicated leather balm or conditioner to keep the hide supple, protect against drying, and preserve its dark finish.
