Check out this used Luc Childéric FAP Close Contact Saddle with a 17" seat, ready for its next rider! The FAP is a French-made jumping saddle designed for riders who appreciate a little more freedom in their seat without sacrificing balance or support over fences. Its semi-flat, wider seat offers an open feel, while the less-forward flap encourages a longer, more natural leg position. Whether you're spending the afternoon schooling on the flat or working through a course of fences, the FAP offers a versatile design for both.

We love this saddle for its open, comfortable seat and longer size 3 flap, offering a balanced feel for riders who prefer a little more freedom of movement in their jumping saddle.

This particular saddle features a medium tree with a higher pommel, measuring approximately 5" dot to dot, and a dark brown leather finish. It is in used condition with visible rubbing, creasing, and darkening throughout the leather, particularly along the seat, flaps, underside, and billets. These areas show cosmetic wear from previous riding, giving the leather a broken-in appearance. Please review all photos and video for a closer look at its condition.

Here are a few words from the saddle maker:

The Childéric FAP is designed with a semi-flat, wide seat that combines rider freedom with the balance and support needed for jumping. Its less-forward flaps encourage a natural leg position, making the model suitable for flatwork as well as jumping. The FAP design also features progressive-density foam panels intended to promote close contact and even pressure distribution.
