The Trainers Endeavour is a high-performance jump saddle designed for riders who prioritize a close-contact feel with modern adjustability.It is built on the foundation of the popular Trainers Professional model but features several "pro-tier" upgrades to enhance horse comfort and rider security.
Key Features of the Endeavour
X-Change Gullet System: This is one of its most practical features, allowing you to change the tree width (from Narrow to Extra Wide) with a screwdriver. This makes it versatile if your horse changes shape through the seasons.
DPS (Double Protection System) Panels: These panels use a combination of memory foam and traditional flocking. This provides a soft, "living" interface that absorbs shock while still allowing for minor reflocking adjustments by a saddler.
Adjustable Blocks: It features Velcro-mounted thigh and knee blocks, which is a lifesaver for riders with longer legs or those who prefer a specific level of support for different fence heights.
Design: It sports a square cantle and a forward-cut flap, typical of a modern show-jumping profile.
Horse Conformation: Who does it fit best?
The Endeavour is generally considered a "middle-of-the-road" fit, but it leans toward a specific back profile:
Feature
Best Fit For
Topline Shape
Straight to slightly curvy. It works well on horses with a relatively level back. It is not ideal for "dippy" or "sway-backed" horses, nor is it flat enough for very "table-top" cob types.
Wither Profile
Modern Sport Horses & TBs. The tree has a decent "head" (the arch over the wither), making it suitable for horses with average to high withers. It is a go-to for many Thoroughbreds and Warmbloods.
Shoulder Clearance
Broad Shoulders. The "wider channel" design of the Endeavour is specifically intended to clear the spine and allow the scapula (shoulder blade) to rotate freely without being pinched.
Ribcage Shape
A-frame to Oval. Because of the gullet system, it can accommodate a variety of widths, but the panel shape sits most comfortably on horses with a standard "athletic" ribcage rather than a barrel-shaped pony.
5 | Brand New: Pristine condition, often with tags still attached. Showroom quality with zero wear.
4 | Very good: Lightly used with minimal signs of wear (like faint stirrup leather marks). The leather is supple, the tree is sound, and it has been exceptionally well cared for.
3 | Good: Showing standard, normal signs of regular use. May have cosmetic scuffs, moderate stirrup leather wear, or slight discoloration, but it is entirely structurally sound and ready to ride.
2 | Fair: Well-loved with noticeable wear. May have deeper scratches, heavier leather fading, or minor cosmetic blemishes, but the tree and safety components are completely intact. A great budget-friendly, functional option.
1 | As-Is / TLC Needed: Heavy wear or significant cosmetic damage. May need minor repairs (like flocking, a new billet, or stitching) before hitting the trails. Still functional, but priced accordingly.
