Arena Monoflap Jump Saddle – Close-Contact Jumping Saddle with HART Technology

Product Overview

The Arena Monoflap Jump Saddle is an English jumping saddle designed for riders who want a close connection with their horse, a balanced seat, and supportive leg positioning. Its single-flap construction reduces the layers between rider and horse, helping create a closer feel during flatwork, jumping practice, and competition.

Combining leather on the upper surface with durable technical materials underneath, the saddle blends traditional equestrian styling with practical modern features. External knee and thigh support blocks help riders maintain a consistent position, while the CAIR® Cushion System and EASY-CHANGE™ Fit Solution provide options for adjusting the saddle’s fit to the horse.

Suitable for schooling and jumping, the Arena Monoflap Jump offers a streamlined design for riders seeking comfort, adjustability, and close contact.

Product Specifications

Available Sizes and Colors

The Arena Monoflap Jump is listed in the following seat sizes:

• 16.5 inches
• 17 inches
• 17.5 inches
• 18 inches

Black and brown are documented color options. Availability may differ between retailers and markets, so confirm the exact seat size and color before ordering.

The seat size should suit the rider, while the tree width and panel configuration must suit the horse. A qualified saddle fitter can assess both requirements.

Adjustable Fitting System

The EASY-CHANGE™ Fit Solution offers two key adjustment options:

• Gullet adjustment: Allows the tree width to be changed using compatible gullet plates.
• Riser adjustment: Provides options for refining saddle balance and panel clearance.

The correct configuration depends on the horse’s back shape, shoulder movement, musculature, and the way the saddle sits under the rider. Changing the gullet alone does not guarantee a correct fit.

Why Choose the Arena Monoflap Jump?

This saddle is a practical option for riders who value close contact and supportive leg positioning without the bulk of a conventional double-flap design. Its external support blocks, adjustable fitting components, and air-panel cushioning make it worth considering for regular schooling and jumping.

The combination of leather styling and technical materials also offers a balance between traditional appearance and everyday practicality.

Care and Maintenance

1. Wipe away dust, hair, and sweat after each ride.
2. Clean the leather upper with a suitable saddle cleaner.
3. Condition the leather sparingly according to the manufacturer’s care instructions.
4. Clean the technical-material underside with an appropriate product.
5. Store the saddle in a dry, ventilated area away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
6. Inspect billets, stitching, support blocks, and gullet components regularly.
7. Arrange professional fitting checks to monitor the saddle as the horse’s shape changes.

Saddle-Fitting Advice

Before riding, ensure that the saddle sits level, provides adequate spinal clearance, allows free shoulder movement, and makes suitable contact with the horse’s back.

Because the monoflap design generally uses long billets, confirm the correct short girth length and type for the saddle and horse. Have a qualified saddle fitter check the girthing arrangement, tree width, and overall balance before use.

Before purchasing, confirm:

• Required seat size.
• Preferred color.
• Saddle condition: new or used.
• Included gullet plate and any additional fitting accessories.
• Whether a compatible short girth is included.
