CWD The Flat Seat CC SE03 Saddle

Product Description

The CWD The Flat Seat CC SE03 Saddle is a French-crafted close-contact jumping saddle designed for riders who value freedom of movement, a balanced position, and precise communication with their horse. Its flat seat profile allows the rider to adjust their position more freely during jumping, while the close-contact design promotes a connected feel between horse and rider.

Manufactured by CWD Sellier, the SE03 is designed with the horse’s comfort and the rider’s performance in mind. Its panels are intended to maintain broad contact with the horse’s back to help distribute pressure, while the three-point girthing system supports saddle stability. The saddle’s shoulder-clearance design is intended to allow greater freedom of movement through the horse’s shoulders.

With its streamlined profile and sport-focused construction, the CWD SE03 is suited to riders looking for a jumping saddle that supports active riding, changes in position, and close contact over fences.

Product Specifications

Recommended Uses

The CWD SE03 is designed primarily for show jumping and related training activities where a close-contact feel and freedom to adjust the riding position are important.

It may suit riders who prefer a flatter seat rather than a more deeply supportive seat. The ideal configuration depends on the rider’s proportions, preferred position, experience, and the horse’s conformation.

Before purchasing, confirm whether the saddle is new, pre-owned, or made to order, and check the exact seat size, flap dimensions, leather specification, and panel configuration.

Fit and Safety

A saddle must fit both the horse and rider correctly. Before use, have a qualified saddle fitter assess the saddle’s balance, clearance, panel contact, and compatibility with the horse’s back.

Do not select a saddle based on seat size alone. Flap dimensions, tree shape, panel configuration, and the horse’s individual conformation all affect fit. Check the billets, stitching, stirrup bars, and other structural components regularly, particularly when buying a pre-owned saddle.

Care and Maintenance

• Remove dust, sweat, and dirt after each ride using a suitable leather-cleaning product.
• Condition the leather as recommended for its specific finish.
• Avoid soaking the saddle or exposing it to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
• Store it on a suitable saddle rack in a dry, ventilated area.
• Inspect billets, stitching, panels, and stirrup-bar areas regularly.
• Follow the manufacturer’s care recommendations for the particular leather and saddle configuration.
