Western and English Saddles

Author: Great_Saddle

Showman Western saddlesMost equestrians think of saddles as falling into two main categories, English and Western.  Western saddles are distinctive because of a horn and high fork on the front of the saddle, and a deeper seat.  The western saddle also has wide and long stirrups and fenders.  The English saddle has a flatter seat, and no noticeable fork and horn. 

Regardless of which style you decide on, you should make sure that the saddle fits your horse.  If your horse appears uncomfortable, examine the horse’s back to see if there are any sores due to chafing or rubbing, this indicates an incorrectly fitted saddle.
