GFS Transition Jump Saddle S703 | Performance Jump Saddle with Enhanced Rider Support
Greater Security Without Restricting Your Position
The GFS Transition Jump Saddle S703 has been developed for riders who prefer a little more support than a traditional close-contact jumping saddle while still maintaining the freedom to ride in balance over every fence. Its slightly deeper seat, supportive cantle and adjustable knee blocks work together to create a secure yet natural position, allowing the rider to stay with the horse's movement from take-off to landing.
Ideal for show jumping, eventing, hunting and training, the S703 combines advanced saddle fitting technology with rider-focused ergonomics to improve confidence, stability and communication.
Supporting the Rider's Pelvic Position
One of the defining features of the GFS Transition S703 is the way it supports the rider's pelvis.
The slightly deeper seat and well-shaped cantle help maintain correct pelvic alignment, encouraging the rider to remain centred rather than becoming left behind the movement as the horse leaves the ground. By stabilising the pelvis, the saddle allows the lower leg to remain underneath the rider while promoting an independent upper body and softer contact.
A correctly aligned pelvis enables the rider to:
-
Stay balanced through take-off, flight and landing.
-
Maintain a secure lower leg without gripping.
-
Absorb the horse's movement naturally.
-
Keep quiet, sympathetic hands.
-
Ride positively to the fence with greater confidence.
Rather than simply holding the rider in place, the Transition S703 encourages correct biomechanics, allowing horse and rider to move together in harmony.
Adjustable Knee Support for Every Rider
Every rider has different preferences when it comes to leg support.
The GFS Flexi Block System allows the front knee blocks to be adjusted, repositioned or removed entirely, enabling the saddle to be tailored to individual leg length, riding style and level of support required.
Whether you prefer greater security over technical courses or a more open position for everyday schooling, the Transition S703 adapts to your individual riding style.
Designed for Modern Sport Horses
The GFS Transition Jump Saddle S703 has proven particularly popular on modern show jumping Warmbloods, where its panel design and tree shape complement horses with medium withers, athletic shoulders and well-developed toplines.
It also performs exceptionally well on many:
-
Warmbloods.
-
Irish Sport Horses.
-
Thoroughbreds.
-
Thoroughbred crosses.
-
Sport horses with medium withers.
-
Young competition horses developing through training.
Its balanced tree profile and adjustable fitting options make it an excellent choice for horses whose shape changes as they mature or progress through a competition season.
Lightweight Construction with Outstanding Comfort
Constructed around the Polymer Synthetic Web-Strained Tree, the Transition S703 combines strength, flexibility and low weight, helping reduce the overall load carried by the horse without compromising stability.
The saddle features natural wool-flocked panels, offering significant advantages for both horse and saddle fitter.
Natural wool flocking:
-
Provides excellent shock absorption.
-
Smooths pressure distribution along the length of the panel.
-
Allows ongoing adjustments as the horse develops muscle.
-
Maintains optimum saddle balance.
-
Promotes long-term comfort for the horse.
When professionally fitted, the panel design allows even weight distribution while encouraging unrestricted movement through the horse's back.
Advanced Saddle Fitting Technology
The Transition S703 incorporates several innovative fitting features designed to provide long-term versatility.
The adjustable front gusset enables fine tuning during fitting, while the X-Change Girthing System offers multiple billet configurations to improve stability and maintain saddle balance across a wide variety of horse conformations.
These fitting options allow the saddle fitter to optimise the saddle for horses with different girth grooves, shoulder angles and muscle development.
