Styles of Horse Saddles
Whether for exhibition, recreation or work , saddlery is a very precise craft that has a saddle for every horseback riding need. safety stirrups Dressage saddles, treeless saddles, English saddles and western saddles are among the varieties that are found within the equestrian world. stirrup irons Each serves a specific purpose and can be seen in use wherever horses are ridden.
Synonymous with the cowboy of American legend, the western saddle is the type traditionally used by the cattle rancher who worked long hours while mounted. The early horse trainers and cattle ranchers, the Spanish vaqueros, used the earliest of this saddle type. The western saddle is set apart from others by its high arching pommel and cantle, its fixed stirrups, and its horn, a feature that historically was used to hold the end of a rope, the other end of which was around the neck of a member of the herd. Horse Supplements The western saddle is used today in all manner of rodeo competitions such as roping and barrel racing.
Distinctly different from the western saddle is the English saddle. Although not limited to England, this saddle type is used in the English riding style which is found in most Olympic and equestrian competitions. The English saddle is lighter than the western version with no horn and detachable stirrups should the rider fall. It was traditionally used for fox hunting, thus it is designed to allow the horse maximum movement and the freedom to jump and run across rugged terrain. English saddles can be seen in use today for show jumping, polo, horseracing and dressage.
Dressage saddles and treeless saddles are two other types. Dressage is translated as ‘training, a discipline that fosters the seemingly effortless movement of the horse through various exercises. Lightweight and simple, dressage saddles have straight cut side flaps and a deep seat. This type of saddle gives riders very close contact and lets them cue the horse’s movement with precision. Another saddle that allows for close contact is called a treeless saddle, made from fiberglass and leather. Also called a bareback pad, they are suited for horses with wide backs and also provide for close contact with the horse.
