Types of Saddle

Types of saddle
Here are 8 different types of horse riding saddles . So, let's dive into the video.
Number 1
General Purpose Saddle
These saddles are ideal for the beginner or intermediate rider who has just bought their first horse and enjoys various types of riding. They are sturdy with flaps that are cut forward and can accommodate the rider well for basic jumping, dressage and hacks or hunts in the country with small jumps.
Number 2
Dressage Saddle
Dressage saddles are designed for advanced riders who are regularly competing in flat-work competitions. The saddles enhance the traditional straight-legged and upright torso dressage position. They have a deeper seat that looks more like a U-shaped curve when viewed from the side which is intended to provide better balance for the rider.
Number 3
Jumping Saddle
Jumping saddles are designed to push the rider slightly forward into the two-point jumping position for when they are going over fences. This is done by providing a flatter seat than dressage saddles which looks more like a mellow C-shaped curve when viewed from the side.
Number 4
Hunting Saddle
Hunting saddles are designed for riders who regularly go fox-hunting in the English countryside. Many hunts involve jumps over large hedges with very steep drops on the other side. For this reason, the saddle is shaped to push the rider's weight back in the saddle and their feet forwards in the stirrups.
Number 5
Youth Saddle
These saddles are very lightweight and used for young children who are riding small ponies. They are made from synthetic materials like cotton with small bits of leather or plastic. The shape of the saddle is much smaller, which allows the child to be more balanced in the seat.
Number 6
Western Saddle
Cowboys ride these saddles! They are made from brown leather and can be intricately decorated with colourful Western designs. There is a horn at the front of the saddle which aids balance while the other hand holds the reigns.
Number 7
Side Saddle
When women started riding horses in European countries in the middle ages, it was not deemed proper for them to straddle a horse, particularly because they would be wearing skirts. Hence the side-saddle was developed as a way for them to sit aside a horse with their legs crossed.
Number 8
Racing Saddles
Racing saddles are very small and lightweight. They are used specifically for jockeys who are galloping and jumping fences on thoroughbred horses. The saddles have only one girth strap and the stirrups are very short.
