Jumping saddles are specially designed to give the rider a fullward seat by slightly pushing the rider fullward into the two point jumping position for going over a fence. The fullward cut flaps allow the rider to shorten their stirrups and bring their knee higher in the saddle.The flatter seat allows the horse to adopt different seating positions. GP saddles can be used. The GP saddle was evolved from the jumping saddled, they also have knee roles but are much smaller.
