Following on from the success of the Fairfax Performance girth (which was kept secret to give a competitive advantage to Team GBR), Vanessa has been focusing on creating a showjumping saddle which improves the horse’s performance.
The new Fairfax Jump saddle was developed and tested using the same pressure mapping and gait analysis technology. It incorporates a patent applied for new panel design, which allows the horse’s shoulder greater freedom of movement and so enables greater knee flexion. A trial involving eight international riders and a gait analysis high-speed camera proved that this saddle enables the horse to be neater in front.
- Hand made in Walsall by highly skilled Master Saddlers, using selected Italian calf skins and top grade English butt leather
- Six changeable gullet bar width options, in half width fitting increments, allow the selection of the exact width for the horse's profile.
- 100% British wool flocking provides superior softness and comfort for the horse
