Sirius Jump

All Fairfax Jump saddles (World Class, Performance and Classic) have three billets (straps), with the third one being moveable. They do not have a point strap (like the GP models), but there is the option on the Classic Petite Jump for the saddle fitter to attach a billet to the point.

The saddle fitter will begin by girthing in the neutral position using the 2nd and 3rd billets

If the saddle moves forward, switch to the 1st and 3rd billets

If the saddle lifts at the back, the saddle fitter will move the last billet to the balance ring and use the 2nd and 4th billets

If extra stability is required they may use the 1st and 4th billets

DON’T USE the 1st and 2nd billets together – this will cause instability

(Patent 2505962B)

This saddle features the ground-breaking Fairfax Performance Panel which is scientifically proven to reduce saddle pressure and increase shoulder & knee flexion over a fence, resulting in better clearance.

The weight-bearing part of the panel under the rider’s seat is separated from the part under the rider’s knee (which lies over the horse’s shoulder). This allows the horse’s shoulder independence of movement.

Monoflap jump saddles with the Performance Panel are supplied with two thicknesses of changeable shoulder blocks.

If a horse has asymmetrical shoulders, use the thicker block on the side with less muscle. This allows the rider to sit squarely while the horse is free to move underneath, building up muscle without restriction.

The correct care of your Fairfax saddle is essential. Follow these instructions to ensure years of happy service from your purchase

• If you have purchased your saddle new, it will come with a tube of Rapide Leathergel. Apply a generous coat of Rapide before first use, using a soft cloth or sheepskin mitt.
• Any dirt etc should be removed with a damp cloth after use.
• Then re-apply Leathergel at least once a week to dry, clean leather. Apply to all surfaces.
• Never use wet tack.
• Do NOT use any products containing alcohol (such as spray soap), glycerine (eg saddle soap) or oil (including neatsfoot) on this saddle. Any colour loss or damage to the leather caused by these products will not be covered by the saddle’s guarantee.
• If your saddle gets wet (in the rain or on the XC course for eg) allow the leather to dry naturally. Do not use external heat sources.
• Check regularly that all four gullet bolts and the two panel screws remain tight.
• Rapide Leathergel is readily available online. This is the only product we recommend for the care and maintenance of your Fairfax saddle.
