NSC Altus Pony Jump – Comfort and Confidence for Wide, Flat-Backed Ponies
Trusted heritage, proven performance – formerly the Farrington Altus Pony Jump.
Finding a jumping saddle that truly fits a wide, flat-backed pony can feel like a challenge. The NSC Altus Pony Jump takes the guesswork out of it, giving your pony the freedom to move and your young rider the comfort and balance they need to ride at their best.
Developed in partnership with the original Farrington saddlery team, the Altus has been a favourite in New Zealand for many years. With Farrington now under new ownership and with a new team of saddle makers, NSC continues this model exclusively, ensuring the same quality craftsmanship and pony-friendly design that riders know and trust.
Designed with generous wide panels and a broad channel for even weight distribution, the Altus sits securely without pinching or rocking. Its shorter panel length keeps the loins clear, while multiple girthing options help achieve the perfect fit. The flatter seat supports a natural, balanced position, and movable knee blocks adapt as your rider grows or their riding style develops.
