What are Some Different Types of Saddles?
There are numerous different types of saddles, all designed for specific purposes. Within the two broad families of English and Western saddles, saddles can be found for everything from equitation to police work, and there are other types of saddles which do not belong to these families. It is important to select the right saddle for a task, and to ensure that it is fitted well for both rider and horse; the wrong saddle can be uncomfortable or even dangerous.
