Size Guide
For your saddle
- Check your saddle is perfectly positioned. Locate the slope of you horse’s shoulder and assess the alignment of the saddle nail. For the perfect comfortable position, the saddle nail should be approximately a three-finger distance from the edge of your horse’s shoulder.
For your horse
- Saddle up your horse without a saddle pad* and with the girth comfortably tightened, as if you were about to ride.
- Ensure your horse is standing square and on level ground.
All fitting adjustments and saddle alterations should be made in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.*For your safety, ensure your horse is OK with you assessing the fit without a saddle cloth before attempting to do so.Â

Is a general purpose saddle good for jumping?
It is built for a mix of flatwork, jumping and riding out. If most of your riding is over fences, the Arena Jump is the jump saddle in the Arena range.How do I know which gullet my horse needs?
The EASY-CHANGE Gullet Gauge gives you a starting point. The right width is confirmed by checking how the saddle sits on your horse, and a qualified saddle fitter can do this with you.What warranty comes with an Arena saddle?
Arena saddles have a 10-year warranty on the tree and a two-year warranty on materials and workmanship. Claims go through your retailer, and you will need your receipt and warranty card. -
Approximate weight: 6.2 kg/13.7 lb. Weights vary a little by size and options. Fitted with a Medium (black) EASY-CHANGE gullet. The EASY-CHANGE Gullet System: Complete Kit, EASY-CHANGE Riser System: Standard Pack and EASY-CHANGE Gullet Gauge are available separately, as are a girth and stirrup leathers. Fit is about comfort, balance and how your horse moves, not one number on a chart, so we would always start with a qualified saddle fitter you trust.
-
- Clean the leather with Arena Glycerine Soap to remove surface dirt and oil, let it dry, then condition it with Arena Leather Balsam.
- Both come in the Arena Leather Care Pack.
- Wipe the technical lining clean with a damp cloth.
- The CAIR cushions are never adjusted themselves, and opening the CAIR security tape voids the warranty.
