Saddle Details

A Jumping Saddle With a Natural Feel

The GFS Premier Jump S802 is designed for riders who like a more open, straightforward jumping saddle.

The flat seat gives you plenty of freedom to move with your horse, while the slim, wool-flocked panels help create a closer connection between horse and rider. It’s a practical setup for riders who spend plenty of time schooling and want a saddle that doesn’t feel overly bulky.

The dual-flap design also gives the saddle a clean, traditional appearance.

Adjustable Fit as Your Horse Changes

One of the features that makes this saddle particularly practical is the X-Change adjustable gullet system.

The saddle can accommodate gullets from Narrow through to XXW, allowing the width to be changed as required.

Horses can naturally change shape over time. Fitness, workload, age and seasonal changes can all affect their topline. An adjustable saddle gives you some flexibility when those changes happen.

The saddle also has an X-Change girthing system, allowing the girthing arrangement to be adjusted to help achieve a secure and balanced setup.

As with any saddle, the correct fit should always be checked by a qualified saddle fitter before use.

Wool-Flocked Panels

The S802 uses wool-flocked panels, which is useful because the flocking can be adjusted by a qualified saddle fitter when minor changes are needed.

The slim panel profile also helps maintain a close-contact feel, which many jumping riders appreciate when working on position, balance and communication with their horse.

Ex-Demo Condition – Grade 2

This particular GFS Premier Jump is an ex-demo saddle and is listed as Grade 2.

In practical terms, that means it may have been girthed up or used lightly for demonstration or saddle selection, but it remains in very good overall condition.

It may show small signs of handling or light use, so we always recommend looking carefully through the product photographs before ordering.

Why We Like the GFS Premier Jump S802

What stands out about this saddle is its simple, rider-friendly design.

You get the freedom of a flat jumping seat, useful knee and calf positioning options, an adjustable gullet and wool-flocked panels without the saddle becoming overly complicated.

It is particularly appealing for riders who enjoy a more natural jumping position and want the flexibility of being able to adjust the saddle width.

For everyday schooling, hacking with some jumping, or regular jumping work, it offers a sensible balance between comfort and practicality.

Is This Saddle Right for Your Horse?

This model is generally intended for horses with a standard back and wither profile, although individual fit will always vary.

It may be worth considering if your horse:

• Has a standard back profile
• Has a standard wither
• Needs an adjustable saddle
• Changes shape throughout the year
• Works regularly in jumping
• Benefits from wool-flocked panels
• Needs a saddle that can accommodate different gullet widths

Remember that the width specification alone does not determine whether a saddle fits. Back shape, wither, shoulder movement, panel contact, balance and rider position all matter.

Buying a Saddle From the UK?

For customers in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia, buying a quality saddle from a specialist UK retailer can give you access to models that may be harder to find locally.

We provide international delivery options, and overseas customers receive tracking information where applicable.

If you’re ordering from outside the UK, please check your country’s import rules and any applicable customs charges, taxes or duties before completing your purchase.

5-Day UK Mainland Trial

UK mainland customers can take advantage of a 5-day saddle trial.

The trial begins on the day the saddle arrives. Payment is taken when the order is placed, and you can arrange delivery around your saddle-fitting appointment.

If your fitter isn’t available immediately, you can select a suitable delivery date at checkout. We recommend allowing approximately two working days between delivery and your fitting appointment to give you some breathing room in case of courier delays.

Please note: international saddle trials are not currently available.

Not Sure Whether to Buy?

We know that choosing a saddle online isn’t always straightforward.

Photos and measurements can tell you a lot, but they can’t replace seeing the saddle on your horse. If you’re unsure whether this GFS Premier Jump S802 is worth considering, we recommend speaking with a qualified saddle fitter before ordering.

Looking After Your GFS Leather Saddle

Good leather care doesn’t need to be complicated. The important thing is to keep the leather clean, conditioned and protected.

After riding, remove dirt and sweat with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. For deeper cleaning, use a suitable glycerine saddle soap rather than harsh household or automotive leather products.

Once the leather is clean and dry, apply a suitable equestrian leather balm to help maintain its suppleness.

Pay particular attention to areas that experience regular friction, especially around the stirrup leathers, girth straps and buckles.

Avoid spray cleaners and products that aren’t designed for equestrian leather. Your saddle should also be stored somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.

Because natural leather can sometimes transfer a little colour, particularly when damp or freshly treated, it’s worth keeping this in mind when wearing light-coloured riding breeches.

With regular care, a good leather saddle can develop a lovely character over time while remaining comfortable and functional.

A Versatile Choice for Jumping

Its flat seat gives you freedom of movement, while the adjustable gullet and changeable girthing system allow the saddle to be adapted as your horse’s needs change. The wool-flocked panels are another useful feature for achieving a more precise fit with the help of a qualified fitter.

For riders in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia, this ex-demo GFS saddle could be an excellent choice if you’re looking for a quality jumping saddle at a more accessible price than buying new.
