How long does it take to break in a Argent Saddlery saddle?
Most people find Argent Saddlery saddles instantly comfortable—though the leather will mold significantly to your body with friction and heat, which takes several weeks. No matter how comfortable the saddle is for you, the panels need to soften and take the shape of the horse which can take several weeks. Also, some horses which have been in restrictive saddles move so freely under a Argent Saddlery saddle, that they actually develop sore muscles. During the break-in period, rides of excessive length should be avoided, and a horse that is new to the system should be worked carefully and gradually through lengthening periods of time.
