Suitability & About This Saddle

The NSC Bascule Ultra Monoflap Jump is a close contact monoflap jump saddle designed for riders seeking a secure, connected feel with excellent balance. This saddle is built on a tree that accommodates medium to high withers, making it ideal for horses with well-defined, prominent withers such as Thoroughbreds, TB crosses, and athletic warmbloods with longer wither profiles.

Horse Conformation Suitability

This saddle suits horses with:

• High Withers: The tree design provides sufficient clearance and support for horses with tall, sharply defined withers
• Roofy/A-framed Back Shapes: The curved tree accommodates horses with spine-prominent backs that slope down to the ribs, common in Thoroughbreds and sport horses
• Athletic Sport Horse Builds: Particularly suited to horses needing shoulder freedom and stable balance through turns and landings

Key Benefits & Features

• Close Contact Design: The monoflap layout removes bulk under the leg, providing a connected feel and direct communication with your horse
• Flat Seat: Offers rider freedom and allows natural movement through your seat
• Medium to Narrow Twist: Provides superior comfort and security through lessons, clinics, and show days
• Adjustable Knee & Thigh Blocks: Customizable support to match your riding style and set a secure, natural position for takeoff and landing
• Long Girthing: Helps the saddle sit quietly so the shoulder can move without restriction
• Wool Flocked Panels: Allow fine-tuning as your horse changes shape, with easy adjustments at home
• Balanced & Stable: Stays settled through turns and landings on many NZ sport horse shapes

Important Note: Saddle fitting is crucial. While the NSC Bascule Ultra Monoflap Jump is designed for medium to high withers, it's always recommended to have a professional saddle fitter assess both the horse and rider to ensure the best possible fit and comfort.
