The General Purpose saddle evolved from the jumping saddle. It has knee rolls, although these are smaller the jumping saddle. The panels and flaps are somewhat straighter and the stirrup bars are positioned farther back. The waist is wider to allow the riders weight to be distributed evenly over a greater area and reduce pressure points on your horses back.

Used for most disciplines this saddle is an excellent choice if you wish to purchase one saddle to do a range of activities. It is comfortable to hack and sit in and relatively easy to sell second hand.
