The Harry Dabbs Platinum Jump saddle, particularly with the Performance Panel, is often suited for horses with a rising topline (croup high) and/or a short back. It can also be a good option for horses that are withery and broad, like a big-boned Thoroughbred or a Thoroughbred draft cross, depending on the tree used. The saddle's design aims to avoid pressure on the horse's back, particularly in the lumbar area.
About
The Harry Dabbs Platinum Jump saddle is a high-end jumping saddle known for its innovative design and premium quality. Made in England with a laminated wooden spring tree and wool-flocked panels, it features high-grade European and Italian calf leather for a luxurious feel. This saddle is available with a variety of custom options, including different flap positions, blocks, seat depths, and a multitude of leathers and decorative elements.
The saddle is known for its "Performance Panel," which is designed to curve away from the horse's back sooner than traditional panels. This design helps to free up the horse's lumbar region and allows the horse to use its back more effectively over fences. It also frees up the trapezius muscle, which can be excellent for horses with large shoulders.
