Horse Saddles and Tack, Western and English types

There are many horse saddles out there, but do you know which one really fits your horse and you? Countless factors affect the type of horse saddles you buy. Take a minute or so, read on and find out

First of all, with so many different types of horse riding saddles out there, do you know which one to buy? While price may be a factor constantly ringing in your head, you really should look out for other things such as the brand, the type, your purpose in horse riding and how fitting it is for you and your horse when buying horse saddles. Of course, you should always try to stick within your budget you have limited yourself to.

Harry Hall, Masta, Westrop and Cottage Craft are just some of the top brands when coming to choose for horse tack. Horse tack is the general term for all horse equipment which as you can guess, includes horse saddles. Although it is advisable to get your horse saddles from these top brands, other brands might really be better for both you and your horse.

The type of horse saddles is probably the most important when choosing one. There are so many types out there available. Generally, horse saddles are classified into two camps - Western saddles and English saddles. Western saddles are different from English saddles in the way they look and their purposes, just as brands like Billy Cook saddles, Circle Y saddles, Crates saddles, Big Horn saddles etc. are all not alike. Take note that these brands mostly manufacture western saddles. Be sure of your purpose in riding the horse before buying the different types of riding saddles, which leads me to my next point.

If you are an active horse rider, which requires your horse to jump around obstacles, then hunt seat saddles would be the one for you. If you are a racing horse enthusiasts, look for flat racing saddles. If your want to show off your horse to it's best shape, go for dressage saddles, which are predominently English saddles. However, if you are just a normal horse rider in your free time, then... just go for the cheapest one that fits you and your horse the most!

Buying saddles that is comfortable for you and your horse should be the most important thing on your agenda. As such, if you are new in this area, always bring an experienced person along. Always, and I mean Always, try out the saddle on your horse first. There should be a trial period when buying horse saddles. A saddle that doesn't fit can easily bruise your horse. As a rough guide, both you and your horse should feel alright after an hour or so ride.
