Chamonix Leather Close Contact Jump Saddle
Chamonix Leather Close Contact Jump Saddle
Product Description
This saddle comes as standard with a Medium Gullet bar fitted.
Crafted with premium German aniline leather, this close contact saddle offers optimum performance for the showjumper. The close contact design features a forward-cut knee roll which aids the correct positioning of the leg and the specifically designed, square cantle assists with the natural rider action over fences.
The leather flap features dynamic style lines which add textural dimension to this jump saddle.
The copolymer tree construction is extremely lightweight and has incredible crack-resistant properties which allow the tree to flex so minutely that it prevents the tree from cracking under stress but provides brilliant support to the saddle. Polished leather girth straps offer custom girthing options for comfort and our synthetic fibre wool provides a system of balanced pressure distribution.
Covered by a leather skirt, the safety flick stirrup bars allow for quick and easy application and removal of your stirrup leathers. Front D rings have been added for the application of training aids and martingales.
Finished with our signature metal pin badges and PE embroidered logo.
We offer an affordable solution with a high level of anatomical expertise in the development of our innovative range of discipline-specific saddles with customisable fitting options. For the ideal fit, we advise the purchase of the PE Gullet Gauge to provide you with a guide to the best size PE gullet for use in your Premier Equine saddle.
We understand that various factors can affect your horse such as health, fitness, exercise regimen, age, and condition. These factors may contribute to changes in the shape of your horse meaning that you may need to reassess the fit of your saddle. Our PE Interchangeable Gullet System allows for quick and easy customisation of the fit of the saddle, without the additional cost of a new saddle.

Care Instructions
Using your saddle for the first time:
Premier Equine have carried out all necessary treatment processes before delivering your saddle, so you can use it as soon as you receive it. However, for optimum softness and protections, we advise you to apply a good quality leather conditioning balsam and leave for 24 hours to allow for full absorption, out of direct sunlight. Buff with a soft cloth to remove any excess.
Beware of the risk of staining white clothes, especially during the first few uses.
Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Regularly clean your saddle and apply a good quality conditioning balsam to preserve the suppleness and colour of the leather.
Store on a saddle hook/saddle stand that provides even pressure.
Day-to-Day care:
- Remove any dirt and debris from the surface & girth straps by wiping down your saddle with a damp, soft cloth after every use.
- Wipe over with a dry, soft cloth to remove any excess moisture.
- Allow the saddle to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight and heat.
- Once dry, apply a high-quality leather balsam. Take care not to over-saturate the leather and in particular; the girth straps*.
- Allow the saddle to dry naturally in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight and heat.
- Once dry, apply your saddle cover for protection.
If your saddle has come into contact with water, allow it to dry naturally out of direct sunlight or heat. Once dry, apply a high-quality leather balsam and store your saddle in a dry place.
- Do not place dirty accessories over the top of the saddle.
- Do not clean the saddle with products containing solvent or glycerine soap as these substances will damage the integrity of the saddle.
- Do not treat/grease a saddle that has not been cleaned first as this poses the risk of letting dirt penetrate the leather, damaging it.
- Please note: During the summer months, you may need to increase the frequency in which you treat your leather saddle as the sun and higher temperatures can dehydrate the leather.
- *Warning: over-saturation of the leather & leather girth straps can cause over-absorption which can deteriorate the leather. Do not over-saturate your saddle and girth straps.
For optimum performance and longevity: apply a high-quality leather conditioning balsam at least twice a month to maintain the suppleness of the leather.
