Arena General Purpose
The Arena General Purpose is a general purpose saddle with HART for flatwork, jumping and riding out. It suits riders who do a bit of everything on one horse.
Flatwork in the week, a jumping lesson on Saturday and a long ride out on Sunday. You sit balanced and supported, and front and rear Flexiblocs with padded knee inserts help keep your leg in place.
Your horse can stay as comfortable as you are as they gain or lose condition. The saddle is made from European leather with a technical, wipe-clean lining, and it is practical enough for every day.
HART: Horse and Rider Technology
Horse and Rider Technology is the epitome of comfort with the added practicality of being fully adjustable, so you and your horse are presentation perfect throughout your journey.
- Elastiflex tree: flexes with your horse's stride, so their back can swing and move naturally, and helps protect the spine from concussive forces.
- EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution: you or your saddle fitter can change the width of the Elastiflex tree with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System, and change the depth of the panel to alter the balance with the EASY-CHANGE Riser System.
- CAIR Cushion System: air cushions stay in contact with your horse's moving back muscles, spreading pressure evenly and absorbing shock so your horse can move freely.

Size guide
The chart shows the measurements of the Arena General Purpose in each seat size.
Finding your seat size
- Measure the saddle you ride in now, from the saddle nail to the center of the cantle, and compare it with the chart.
- Sitting in the saddle, you should have about a hand's width between your seat and the cantle.
Checking the fit
- Saddle up without a pad, with the girth done up as if you were about to ride. Only do this if your horse is happy with it.
- Stand your horse square on level ground.
- The saddle nail should sit about three fingers behind the edge of your horse's shoulder blade.
- Your local Arena stockist or saddle fitter can help you check the fit. Find a stockist
Measurements are a guide only. They are rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm and then converted to inches, and the organic shape of saddlery means small differences between pieces are normal.
