Thorowgood T9 Pony Jump Saddle

Thorowgood T9 Pony Jump Saddle | Lightweight Adjustable Jump Saddle for Ambitious Pony Riders

Built for Young Riders Ready to Progress

The Thorowgood T9 Pony Jump Saddle has been developed for ambitious pony riders progressing through Pony Club, Riding Club and affiliated competitions, who need a saddle that offers the balance, freedom and close contact required to confidently tackle bigger fences.

Combining the durability of advanced synthetic materials with premium leather contact areas, the T9 Pony Jump provides the grip and feel of a traditional leather saddle while remaining exceptionally lightweight. The reduced overall weight benefits both pony and rider, allowing the pony to move more freely while making the saddle easier for younger riders to lift, carry and tack up independently.

Designed and manufactured in England, the T9 has become a popular choice for competitive riders looking for one jumping saddle that offers adjustability, comfort and outstanding value.

Designed for Ponies That Love to Jump

One of the biggest strengths of the Thorowgood T9 Pony Jump Saddle is its ability to fit a wide range of pony conformations.

Built around the innovative SimaTree S-Bar, the saddle can be adjusted to accommodate ponies with low to standard withers, making it an excellent choice for many of today's competition ponies whose shape develops throughout the season.

The saddle performs particularly well on:

• Connemaras.

• Welsh Section B, C and D ponies.

• New Forest Ponies.

• Sports ponies.

• Native pony crosses.

• Pony Club ponies.

• Competition ponies that gain muscle through work.

The adjustable fitting system allows a qualified saddle fitter to alter the width as the pony develops, helping maintain comfort and correct saddle balance throughout the year.

Close Contact That Improves Feel

As riders begin jumping bigger courses, feeling the horse's balance and rhythm becomes increasingly important.

The Thorowgood T9 Pony Jump Saddle has been designed to maximise communication between horse and rider, allowing the rider to feel subtle changes in stride length, balance and impulsion during the approach to a fence.

This improved feel helps riders make more accurate decisions when adjusting stride patterns, meeting a fence correctly and maintaining rhythm through combinations. As technical courses become more demanding, that close connection can make a significant difference to confidence and consistency.

A Jumping Position That Encourages Balance

The forward-cut flap has been specifically designed to accommodate shorter jumping stirrups while allowing riders with longer legs to maintain correct alignment.

The lower cantle provides reassuring support without restricting movement over a fence, enabling the rider to stay balanced through take-off, flight and landing while maintaining a secure centre of gravity.

The adjustable Velcro knee blocks allow riders to tailor the amount of leg support to suit their riding style, confidence and leg length, creating a more personalised position as skills develop.

Lightweight Comfort for Sensitive Pony Backs

Ponies often benefit from lighter saddles that allow unrestricted movement through the back.

The T9 combines its lightweight construction with 100% British wool-flocked panels, offering excellent shock absorption and even pressure distribution. Wool flocking also allows ongoing adjustments by a qualified saddle fitter as the pony changes shape, helping maintain comfort while avoiding the firmer feel often associated with fixed foam panels.

This makes the saddle particularly suitable for ponies with sensitive backs that benefit from a more adaptable flocked panel.

Stable, Adjustable and Built to Last

The multiple girthing options, including a point strap, help improve saddle stability across a wide variety of pony shapes while reducing movement during jumping.

Combined with the adjustable tree and flocked panels, the T9 offers a level of versatility rarely found in a lightweight pony jumping saddle.
