The Quick Breakdown
If you are looking for a top-tier pony jump saddle that can change shapes as your pony grows, this 15-inch Brown GFS Monarch Pony Jump (Model S671) is a fantastic find. It is a highly adjustable, wool-flocked saddle perfect for competitive kids, pony clubbers, or petite teenage/adult riders who need a secure but flexible seat for jumping.
This specific saddle is a used Grade 4, which means it is in good, solid condition. It shows normal signs of use, like some moderate wear on the flaps and a few minor scuffs or scratches on the cantle, but it has plenty of life left in it.
Fit & Adjustability: Will it work for your pony?
- The Current Setup: It is currently fitted with an XXW (Extra Extra Wide) gullet bar.
- Massive Adjustment Range: Don’t worry if that’s too wide. It uses the X-Change polymer synthetic tree, meaning you can swap the gullet bars out anywhere from Narrow all the way up to 4XW.
- Ideal Horse Shape: It is generally shaped to fit ponies with a standard back profile and standard-to-low withers.
- Fitter-Friendly: Because it has traditional wool-flocked panels and movable girth straps (which can be switched to a point or balance strap), a local saddle fitter can easily tweak the stuffing to mirror your pony’s back perfectly.
Features for the Rider
- Great for Fences: The seat is intentionally flat, and the flaps are forward-cut. This gives you total freedom to move around and find your balance over a fence without feeling locked in.
- Customizable Support: It features Velcro knee blocks (the GFS Flexi-block system). You can move them around to perfectly match your leg length or pull them off entirely if you prefer less bulk.
- Close Contact Feel: The panels are streamlined to give you a really close, communicative feel against your pony’s side.Quick Logistics: Trials, Warranty, & Care
- Want to test it? If you are in the UK mainland, you can take advantage of a 5-day trial. You pay for the saddle at checkout, and your 5 days start the minute it drops at your door. (Pro-tip: Schedule delivery for 2 days before your fitter arrives just in case the courier runs late!)
- Peace of Mind: The Saddle Bank includes a 6-month soundness warranty, though keep in mind that any structural alterations made by an outside fitter will void it.
- Golden Rules for Care: GFS uses traditional, natural leathers. To keep it beautiful, never use synthetic stirrup leathers (they act like sandpaper and ruin the flap leather). Avoid spray cleaners entirely. Stick to a weekly wipe-down with a damp cloth, some glycerine saddle soap, and a high-quality leather balsam like NAF Sheer Luxe to keep the leather soft and conditioned.
