A close contact saddle is primarily used for jumping and allows the rider to have maximum feel of the animal. The design includes a flat seat with forward short flaps and no extra knee roll, which allows the rider to be forward and ready for the two-point jumping position. This saddle, which provides little seat and leg support, is for a more experienced rider.
