At their most basic level, saddles can be separated into two distinct types: Western and English. If you’re ridden a horse with a high saddle horn, a broad sea and big stirrups, then you’ve experienced the comfort and practicality of a Western saddle. English versions, on the other hand, are flatter and feature a diminished saddle horn. They are slightly less comfortable for horses but a bit more comfortable for riders.

No matter your style of riding and your choice of saddle, you’ll need a safe, reliable place to keep the apparatus before and after use. Saddle racks are essential pieces of livestock equipment; they are a much better place to store the saddle and riggings when compared to the filthy barn floor or the shelf of a remote tool shed. As simplistic as their structure might be, these racks prove more than useful for regular riders and horse enthusiasts.
