The Equipe Synergy is a close-contact jumping saddle from the Italian maker Equipe, built for riders who want a saddle that moves with them over a fence rather than one that simply sits underneath them. This monoflap example keeps the construction clean and the contact direct, making it a popular choice with competitive and amateur showjumpers alike who want performance without excess bulk.
Fit & feel:
* Monoflap design for a close, direct leg contact
* Fixed composite tree, built in set width increments rather than an adjustable gullet system, so width needs to be right for the horse at the point of fitting
* Close-contact jumping seat with shaped knee and thigh support
* Foam panels as standard for this range (rather than wool flocking), so panel adjustments are made by reshaping or replacing the foam rather than reflocking
* Italian calfskin leather throughout
This one suits a rider who wants a traditional European jump feel on a horse with fairly average, uncomplicated wither and back shape, since the tree comes in a fixed width rather than adjusting after the fact. If the horse's shape is more changeable, or you want a fallback option with some built-in adjustability to compare it against, the Albion K2 Jump Adjusta is worth trying alongside it.
As ever, that's a starting point for narrowing things down rather than a fit guarantee, so we'd recommend trialling it alongside an appointment with a fitter to see how it sits on your horse.
