Premier Equine Antibes Synthetic Jump Saddle | Lightweight Adjustable Jump Saddle for Low to Medium Withered Horses

Lightweight Performance. Premium Appearance. Exceptional Value.

The Premier Equine Antibes Synthetic Jump Saddle has been designed for riders who want the performance and appearance of a premium leather jumping saddle without the additional weight or maintenance. Manufactured from advanced, high-quality synthetic leather, the Antibes offers an incredibly realistic leather finish, superb craftsmanship, and refined stitching that make it almost indistinguishable from a traditional leather saddle.

Ideal for riders who compete regularly or simply want a practical, lightweight saddle, the Antibes is weather-resistant, easy to care for and retains its smart appearance with minimal maintenance. Its reduced weight also benefits the horse by lessening the load carried across the back, encouraging freer movement and making the saddle easier to lift and handle around the yard.

Designed for Horses That Can Be Difficult to Fit

One of the key strengths of the Premier Equine Antibes Jump Saddle is its ability to accommodate horses with low to medium withers that naturally fall away behind the saddle before the topline begins to rise.

This type of conformation is common in many sport horses, Thoroughbreds and horses returning to work, often making it difficult to achieve correct saddle balance. Traditional jumping saddles can sit low behind, creating pressure and instability.

The Antibes addresses this with a larger rear gusset, which helps support the rear of the saddle, creating improved balance and a larger weight-bearing surface. When professionally fitted, this encourages more even pressure distribution, improves rider stability and allows the horse to move more freely through the back.

The Antibes performs particularly well on:

• Thoroughbreds and Thoroughbred crosses.

• Retraining of Racehorses (RoR).

• Irish Sport Horses.

• Warmbloods.

• Young horses developing topline muscle.

• Horses with low to medium withers.

• Horses that drop away behind the saddle before a rising topline.

A Jump Saddle Designed Around the Rider

The medium-depth seat provides an ideal balance between security and freedom of movement, allowing riders to remain centred while maintaining the flexibility required for modern jumping.

The forward-cut flap supports an effective jumping position without restricting the leg, while the Velcro-adjustable knee and thigh blocks allow riders to customise the level of support to suit their leg length, riding style and discipline.

Whether you're producing young horses, competing in show jumping, eventing or enjoying Riding Club activities, the Antibes offers a close-contact feel that promotes clear communication between horse and rider.

Lightweight Technology with Lasting Strength

At the heart of the saddle is the Premier Equine FLAIR Fixed Tree, engineered to provide exceptional strength, durability and consistent rider alignment while keeping overall saddle weight to a minimum.

This lightweight construction helps reduce fatigue for the horse while providing a stable platform that allows the rider to maintain a balanced, independent position over fences.

Adapts as Your Horse Changes Shape

As horses gain muscle, improve fitness or fluctuate in condition, maintaining correct saddle fit is essential.

The Antibes is supplied with a Medium/Wide FLAIR gullet plate as standard and is fully compatible with the Premier Equine FLAIR Adjustable Gullet System, allowing a qualified saddle fitter to alter the tree width quickly and accurately.

This adjustability makes the saddle an excellent investment for:

• Young horses developing through training.

• RoR Thoroughbreds rebuilding muscle.

• Competition horses changing condition throughout the season.

• Riders wanting one saddle capable of adapting over time.

Comfort for Horse and Rider

The synthetic fibre wool-flocked panels provide excellent shock absorption while distributing the rider's weight evenly across the horse's back.

Unlike fixed foam panels, flocking allows fine adjustments during routine saddle fitting, helping maintain optimum balance and comfort as the horse develops.

The larger rear gusset further improves stability while allowing the saddle fitter to achieve a more precise fit on horses requiring additional rear support.
