This Thorowgood T8 Pony Jump is a forward-cut jumping saddle built specifically for pony riders, with an adjustable gullet that makes it easy to keep the fit on track as a young rider's pony changes shape or as they move between ponies. It's a practical, budget-friendly option for a rider progressing through jumping classes.
Fit & feel
* S-Bar changeable gullet system, adjustable from Narrow through to Extra Extra Wide (note this uses Thorowgood's S-Bar, not the R-Bar fitted to some of their other models, so the bars aren't interchangeable between the two)
* Velcro moveable knee and calf blocks, positioned to suit the rider as their leg length changes
* 100% wool flocked panels, which a fitter can adjust as the pony's shape develops
* Three girth straps, with the point and second strap fixed and the third moveable for fine-tuning the balance
* Forward-cut flap suited to jumping and general riding for younger or developing riders
This one suits a pony being ridden by a junior or developing rider across jumping and general work, where the adjustable gullet gives some room to grow into. If you wanted to compare a fixed-block alternative, the John Whitaker Barnsley Pony GP/Jump 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 pony.
