GUY CANTIN Saddle bardette Evolution jumping

Ultra-lightweight (2.6 kg) bardette saddle in full-grain leather, designed for young riders and small ponies learning jumping and classical disciplines.

The Guy Cantin Evolution Jumping bardette saddle is designed for young riders learning to jump and progressing to classical disciplines. Its crescent-shaped pommel arch keeps the pony's withers clear, limiting the risk of injury and preserving working comfort.

At the front, the absence of a crescent allows the rider to work exactly like in an English saddle. The leather safety handle remains available in case of imbalance: a detail that counts for beginners and helps build confidence in the saddle.

The front and rear cleats support the leg's fixity at the obstacle. In practice, this is what makes the difference between a purely playful bardette and a technical work tool.

Separate padding frees the pony's backbone, preventing saddle rotation and stabilizing the rider's attitude. The false quarters protect the pony's flanks while ensuring leg contact.

To be chosen if the pony has sensitive withers or if the child is starting to jump: the combination of safety handle, cleats and separate padding meets precisely these two needs. To be avoided if the rider already has a confirmed level and no longer needs the cues of a bardette.
