CHOOSING THE RIGHT WESTERN SADDLE: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE

 * Choosing the Right Western Saddle: A Comprehensive Guide

Posted on 06/30/2023

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Choosing the right western saddle for your horse is key to success in the show
ring or out on the trail. A well-fitted western saddle provides optimal
connection and comfort for both you and your horse, so it is important that you
find the right one, no matter your discipline. While it might feel overwhelming
to choose from many different types of saddles, we created this guide to help
you determine which style is best for you and your horse.


DIFFERENT TYPES OF WESTERN SADDLES AND THEIR PURPOSE



Whether you are looking to barrel race, trail ride, or everything in between,
there is a western saddle designed for each specific purpose. Different types of
saddles have distinctive seats, horns, fenders, and more, depending on the
discipline, to help riders position themselves properly and keep their horses
comfortable.


BARREL SADDLES



Barrel saddles are mainly used for barrel racing, but their unique design allows
them to be used for other kinds of mounted games. Trick riders will sometimes
use barrel saddles as they are designed for security, especially at high speeds
while making quick turns. Since a barrel saddle is meant for speed, it is
lightweight and small with a deep seat, high cantle, tall and thin horn, and
short skirt.

SHOP BARREL SADDLES


WESTERN TRAIL SADDLES



Western trail saddles are designed for pleasure and trail riding as they keep
riders in the correct position while traveling long distances. These saddles are
extra comfortable since they offer cushioning, and they are usually much lighter
than other types of Western saddles. Many trail-riding saddles have leather
strings attached to hold saddle bags during long rides.

SHOP TRAIL SADDLES


WESTERN SHOW SADDLES



Western show saddles typically feature more bling than other saddles and have an
equitation-style seat with a short and thick horn. The main goal of a show
saddle is to be eye-catching in the ring and provide a balanced seat for the
rider. These saddles are often heavier as well, weighing about 40-60 pounds.

SHOP SHOW SADDLES


WESTERN WORK SADDLES



A western work saddle is designed for long days working on the ranch. It offers
a comfortable and deep seat, high cantle, thick horn, square skirt, and long
swells. The fenders are usually hung directly below the rider and you will find
that double rigging is common. The work saddle is great for those who ride their
horse for work all day or enjoy going on long trail rides as well.

SHOP WORK SADDLES


RANCH SADDLES



Ranch saddles are heavyweight with deep seats and high cantles for comfort,
perfect for working cattle. The seat is usually rough out style, which provides
greater traction for the rider's seat and keeps them secure in the saddle. Basic
ranch horse saddles usually have low swells and double rigging. Ranch-cutting
saddles tend to have fenders hung slightly forward in front of the seat,
allowing riders to sit deep into their pockets. Ranch roping saddles are more
likely to feature a shorter, thicker horn that can be wrapped and used to throw
a rope from horseback while still maintaining a balanced seat.

SHOP RANCH SADDLES


REINING SADDLES



Western reining saddles are designed for competitive reining events. Most
reining saddles also have forward-hung stirrups to help keep the rider sitting
back during quick stops and close contact seats to help the rider's aids.
Reining saddles often have a medium-height fork and horn, dropped rigging, and
slender stirrups. Similar to a cutting saddle, one meant for reining has a seat
designed for big stops and quick maneuvers, but cutting saddles usually have
larger horns and swells.

SHOP REINING SADDLES


DIFFERENT PARTS OF A WESTERN SADDLE



There are various parts of a western saddle that you should be able to identify,
which will help you with choosing between styles and finding the best fit. Here
is a list of the different parts of a western saddle:

 1.  Horn
 2.  Seat Rise
 3.  Seat
 4.  Cantle
 5.  Back Housing
 6.  Concho
 7.  Rear Rigging Dee
 8.  Skirt
 9.  Seat Jockey
 10. Fender
 11. Stirrup
 12. Tread Cover
 13. Hobble Strap
 14. Belvin
 15. Front Rigging Dee
 16. Tie Stap Holder
 17. Gullet
 18. Pommel/Swell




WHICH WESTERN SADDLE SHOULD YOU GET

Due to conformation or comfort levels, some horses are harder to fit a saddle to
than others, so it is best to consult a professional saddle fitter, who will
help you measure out and find a saddle that will not pinch or slip off your
horse. You can also ask a trainer or trusted friend which type and brand of
saddle they prefer or what the current trends are, which may help you decide
what will work best for your and your horse’s individual needs.

Ultimately, the type of saddle you purchase comes down to your personal
preference and what fits you and your horse, but if you plan to show or day work
on a ranch, you will likely want a saddle specifically designed for your goal.
For example, a barrel saddle might not be the most comfortable saddle for
reining, while a comfortable trail saddle does not necessarily need the heavy
silver embellishments of a show saddle.


SADDLE FIT AND SIZE



Buying the correct western saddle that best fits both you and your horse is a
challenging task. The wrong saddle could lead to discomfort, sores, and
significant pain along your horse’s back, withers, or shoulders, not to mention
that poorly fitted saddles can impair your balance. That’s why it is so crucial
that your saddle is measured properly and is an appropriate weight that your
horse can carry.


HOW TO MEASURE A WESTERN SADDLE?

Before you embark on the search for your perfect saddle, you should know how
they are measured to help you understand the way a saddle is fitted, especially
if you are interested in a used saddle. If you know how to measure a saddle, you
will be less likely to rely on the expertise of a store owner or other rider,
who might not know as much about saddle fitting.

How to Pick the Best Fitting Western Saddle


HOW MUCH DOES A WESTERN SADDLE WEIGH?

Depending on the material and type, most Western saddles weigh between 20-75
pounds.


WHICH MATERIALS ARE COMMONLY USED IN WESTERN SADDLES?



Leather and synthetic materials are most commonly used in Western saddles. The
former is generally used for more competitive disciplines, but you can find
synthetic saddles for all-purpose riding. Additionally, a leather saddle is
often heavier and more expensive. Many riders prefer leather for looks, quality,
and comfort, but it does need frequent cleaning and conditioning. Leather
saddles hold longer than synthetic, though, when properly cared for.

Synthetic saddles are a popular choice for trail riding since they tend to be
waterproof and scratch resistant. Plus, they are lightweight (usually no more
than 20 pounds), so children or riders unable to lift bulky, heavy saddles can
easily tack up their horses. Some riders prefer the less expensive price tag,
too. Ultimately, there is no right or wrong answer when deciding between leather
or synthetic, as it is a personal preference regarding looks, comfort, and the
amount of maintenance you wish to do.

SHOP SYNTHETIC SADDLES


HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR WESTERN SADDLE

To preserve the quality of your saddle and ensure its longevity, you should
follow a regular cleaning routine. You simply need some saddle soap,
conditioner, oil, a metal polisher, a few rags, and a sponge for thorough
cleaning. Follow this step-by-step guide for a closer look into saddle
maintenance.

Another critical part of caring for your western saddle is to inspect it for any
repairs. Before every ride, you should quickly check that your latigo and
hardware are intact, your stirrups are still fastened, and none of the leather
has cracked. If the tree breaks or you have other weaknesses in the leather, you
should take your saddle to a professional repair shop as soon as possible. A
broken saddle or even a broken Latigo strap can cause major riding accidents.


HOW SHOULD YOU STORE YOUR WESTERN SADDLE?

To keep your western saddle clean from dust, scratches, and mold, store it in a
case or use a cover. Many cases come with a convenient handle as well for easier
carrying between the barn and trailer. By properly storing your saddle away in
the tack room, trailer, or house, the life of your investment is substantially
increased.

SHOP SADDLE COVERS AND CASES

We understand buying a western saddle is a big commitment, whether you want to
purchase a new or used one. A saddle that comfortably fits you and your horse is
often worth it. Purchasing a saddle is an investment in your riding career that
you will have for years to come, especially if you properly clean and store it.
When in doubt, remember the decision is about what feels best for you while
allowing your horse pain-free movement during rides. There are many styles and
designs for almost every type of saddle, so you are bound to find something you
love!
