*EXL Monoflap XC Jump Saddle by Ideal
DESCRIPTION
In an exciting new development we are proud to launch a brand-new saddle design – the ‘Technical & Traditional’ or ‘T&T’, which brings expert design, adjustability and performance to a whole new level.
This ‘next generation’ of adjustable saddle design has all the benefits of our superb quality leather and extraordinary attention to detail, combined with its revolutionary new EGP system, to ensure that each saddle is expertly tailored for each individual horse and rider today, tomorrow and for many years to come.
While every Ideal saddle is tailored for the perfect fit for each horse, the unique EGP (ergonomic gullet plate) system which lies at the heart of the T&T design allows these saddles to be quickly and easily adjusted for the changing seasons or the growth of a youngster. What this means is that your Ideal T&T saddle can be adjusted to continue to provide the perfect fit, even though your horse’s shape may change and develop over the years.
Over 5,000 saddles per annum roll off the Ideal & WRS production line and the company’s expert technicians have been working to perfect the design of the T&T for over 2 years to ensure that they combine the ultimate in comfort, fit and performance. T&T saddles are proven by pliance® and surpass BS 7875:2009. The saddle trees are made from synthetic materials and the saddles are handmade in Walsall, England, with a UK patent pending.

EXL Ideal XC Monoflap Jump Saddle
Lightweight Precision. Refined Balance. Built for Cross‑Country Performance.
The EXL Ideal XC Monoflap Jump Saddle is crafted for riders who demand freedom, stability, and exceptional close contact during fast, variable cross‑country work. Combining Ideal’s trusted British craftsmanship with luxurious EXL soft leather, this saddle offers the perfect blend of performance and comfort for both horse and rider.
Key Features
• Premium EXL Soft Leather
Constructed from Ideal’s ultra‑soft EXL leather, this saddle provides instant comfort and superior grip. The supple feel allows for a secure connection without extensive break‑in time.
• Lightweight Monoflap Design
The single‑flap configuration minimizes bulk under the leg, offering enhanced feel and clearer communication on course. Ideal for maintaining control and stability at speed or over technical combinations.
• Forward‑Cut Flaps for XC Freedom
Designed with a generous forward cut to accommodate a shorter stirrup length, supporting a strong two‑point position during gallops, drops, and jumping efforts.
• Close‑Contact, Supportive Seat
The medium‑flat XC seat provides the freedom needed for forward riding while still offering support during tight turns, angled lines, and variable terrain.
• Secure Knee and Thigh Blocks
Thoughtfully shaped blocks help stabilize the rider’s leg without restricting movement—ideal for bold cross‑country jumping efforts and quick positional adjustments.
• Balanced Wool‑Flocked Panels
Panels are designed to distribute weight evenly while allowing lift through the horse’s back. Adjustable wool flocking ensures a customizable fit for evolving musculature and conditioning.
• Built for Cross‑Country Confidence
From fast gallops to technical questions, the EXL Ideal XC Monoflap delivers the precision, feel, and freedom necessary for reliable performance in every phase.
