Secure Soft Grip Panel for Added Stability

The primary innovation of the Shires ARMA Soft Grip Jump Saddlecloth is its strategically placed soft grip panel beneath the saddle. This textured section helps reduce unwanted saddle movement during dynamic work, giving riders a more secure feel throughout flatwork, jumping exercises and courses.

This enhanced stability can support improved rider confidence and smoother transitions, particularly when negotiating fences or improving balance.

Breathable Mesh Upper for Comfort

The upper portion of this saddlecloth is made from a breathable mesh material engineered to encourage airflow across the horse’s back. Improved ventilation helps manage heat and moisture beneath the saddle, making this saddlecloth suitable for:

• Show jumping practice

• Cross-country schooling

• Riding club and Pony Club activities

• Daily flatwork sessions

The breathable mesh enhances overall comfort for horses during longer rides or in warmer conditions.

Contoured Jump Cut for Freedom of Movement

Specifically shaped to suit forward-cut jumping saddles, the Shires ARMA Soft Grip Jump Saddlecloth features a contoured profile that follows the natural line of the horse’s back. This thoughtful cut allows clearance at the wither and accommodates saddle flaps without bulk, supporting freedom of shoulder movement that is especially important during jumping.

Cushioned Quilted Lower for Everyday Protection

The lower section of the saddlecloth incorporates a quilted fabric that provides comfortable cushioning between saddle and horse. This padding helps to:

• Absorb light impact

• Distribute pressure more evenly

• Protect the horse’s back from friction

The durable quilted construction maintains a smart, polished look while withstanding the demands of daily use.

Reinforced Girth Area for Durability

The Shires ARMA Soft Grip Jump Saddlecloth includes a reinforced girth protection area that guards against wear from girth straps. This added reinforcement increases longevity, especially for horses in regular work, while preserving the black fabric’s clean appearance.

Sleek Black Finish for Professional Style

The classic black colour offers a versatile, competition-ready aesthetic that pairs easily with a wide range of tack and rider outfits. Whether you are competing at shows or training at home, the understated black design ensures a polished overall presentation.
