Shires ARMA Soft Grip Jump Saddlecloth Black

Whether you are training over grids, preparing for shows or enjoying regular flatwork, this ARMA jump saddlecloth delivers functional features with a professional look.

Secure Soft Grip Panel for Added Stability

The primary innovation of the Shires ARMA Soft Grip Jump Saddlecloth is its strategically placed soft grip panel beneath the saddle. This textured section helps reduce unwanted saddle movement during dynamic work, giving riders a more secure feel throughout flatwork, jumping exercises and courses.

This enhanced stability can support improved rider confidence and smoother transitions, particularly when negotiating fences or improving balance.

Breathable Mesh Upper for Comfort

The upper portion of this saddlecloth is made from a breathable mesh material engineered to encourage airflow across the horse’s back. Improved ventilation helps manage heat and moisture beneath the saddle, making this saddlecloth suitable for:

• Show jumping practice

• Cross-country schooling

• Riding club and Pony Club activities

• Daily flatwork sessions

The breathable mesh enhances overall comfort for horses during longer rides or in warmer conditions.

Contoured Jump Cut for Freedom of Movement

Specifically shaped to suit forward-cut jumping saddles, the Shires ARMA Soft Grip Jump Saddlecloth features a contoured profile that follows the natural line of the horse’s back. This thoughtful cut allows clearance at the wither and accommodates saddle flaps without bulk, supporting freedom of shoulder movement that is especially important during jumping.

Cushioned Quilted Lower for Everyday Protection

The lower section of the saddlecloth incorporates a quilted fabric that provides comfortable cushioning between saddle and horse. This padding helps to:

• Absorb light impact

• Distribute pressure more evenly

• Protect the horse’s back from friction

The durable quilted construction maintains a smart, polished look while withstanding the demands of daily use.

Reinforced Girth Area for Durability

The Shires ARMA Soft Grip Jump Saddlecloth includes a reinforced girth protection area that guards against wear from girth straps. This added reinforcement increases longevity, especially for horses in regular work, while preserving the black fabric’s clean appearance.

Sleek Black Finish for Professional Style

The classic black colour offers a versatile, competition-ready aesthetic that pairs easily with a wide range of tack and rider outfits. Whether you are competing at shows or training at home, the understated black design ensures a polished overall presentation.

Ideal For

The Shires ARMA Soft Grip Jump Saddlecloth Black is well suited to:

• Show jumping

• Cross-country schooling

• Riding club and Pony Club activities

• Everyday flatwork and training

Riders seeking a combination of added saddle stability, breathable materials and a smart black finish will find this ARMA jump saddlecloth a dependable addition to their horse’s equipment.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

We want to be crystal clear when it comes to managing your expectations; our website is stock managed to show you what items are available for same day dispatch and those which are externally warehoused and therefore, will take a little longer to arrive with you.

Simply make your product selections and a message will pop up telling you how long it will take us to dispatch your order; we call this our product availability message.  If you are happy with the product availability message on the item, checkout your order and we will ship your order in the timeframe stated.

If you have lots of items in your basket, please use the longest product availability message to work out when your order will arrive.  We care about our environmental impact, so we don't split ship orders unless you get in touch to request that we do so.  We will let you know on your order confirmation when we expect your order will arrive with you.

Whilst we do our best to meet the handling times stated in the product availability message, occasionally we can experience some delays in the delivery network.  At these times, a team member will email you to keep you updated on the progress of your order.

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not change our expected handling times; the service selected is always from the point of despatch not purchase.

If you do require an order urgently, please contact us before ordering to ensure we can accommodate your requirements as we hate to be party poopers!

Which couriers do you use?

Before choosing a courier, please make sure you are happy with the product availability message as these handling times apply before we ship your order.  If it doesn’t show “Express warehouse: immediate despatch”, it will not leave us on the same day you have placed the order.

FedEx and DPD are delivered next working day from point of despatch for UK mainland addresses or in two working days for Scottish Highlands, Islands, Northern Ireland, and Irish addresses.  You will receive a text message and an email confirming the day for delivery. 

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not mean your order will bypass our handling times; FedEx and DPD are from the point of despatch, not the point of purchase.
