Which Saddle Should I Use?
February 17, 2010
While some diehards still ride a horse bareback, virtually all riding is now done via a horse saddle. Before you grab one off the horse saddle racks, it is important to be able to distinguish the two main types of saddles: English and Western. The type of saddle you choose is largely dependent on the type of riding you will be doing.
English saddles are the ones used in Olympic competition and are optimal for jumping and participating in other events. The main feature that separates the Western saddle is the horn on the front of the saddle. This model is for longer, trail-type rides and requires the rider to use a saddle blanket as well.
