Western Saddles for Sale

When you're choosing a horse saddle, it's important to consider your horse's build and style. The right saddle can make a huge difference in how much comfort you feel on the trail or when competing. Here are some tips for choosing the best saddle for your horse:

Choose the right style

Your horse's size and type of riding will affect how you choose a western saddle. For example, if your horse is small and young, then you might want to consider purchasing a light weight saddle with thin padding in order to minimize bruising and blisters on his/her legs while they are still growing. On the other hand, if your horse has been exposed to hard work (i.e., trail riding) or has very high needs for movement (i.e., jumping), then it may be worth investing in a more robust model that provides support where needed most--like around the shoulders or chest area--so he/she can perform at peak levels without suffering from fatigue later down the road!

As you can see, there are many things to consider when shopping for a saddle. While it may seem like a lot of pressure at first, if you take the time to consider each factor carefully and make an informed decision about what is best for your horse and your needs, then you will end up with a model that will last for years to come!

Consider your horse's build

Consider the size of your saddle to determine if it fits properly, and whether or not it will fit over shoes. If you have an extremely large or small horse, make sure that you purchase a saddle that fits their body type (and vice versa). For example: A smaller breed might benefit from using a more compact saddle because they are likely to be shorter in stature than larger breeds such as Clydesdales. This is why many people prefer riding western saddles over English ones--they fit better on shorter horses!

Also consider age when buying a new one; this factor has been shown to play an important role in how comfortable we feel while riding our favorite animals! In fact, some studies suggest that "riding discomfort" increases as we get older due toward changes occurring within our bodies' musculature structure over time..."

Check the fit

To do this, first dismount and remove any bags or blankets from around your horse's withers and neck area so that they don't get caught in the stirrups while you're sitting on their back (and possibly hurting them). Then carefully measure how much space is between the top front cutout of each stirrup and its corresponding piece at the bottom--these measurements should be equal or close to one another depending on how long your horse's legs are/were when measured (if they're short then this may not be an issue). Next unclip all four reins from their respective horses' bits before stepping back up onto one leg at a time until standing again--you'll want them all clipped together so they don't accidentally separate during testing! Finally adjust both sets of reins until they feel comfortable while sitting still with no pressure being placed anywhere else besides where necessary:

If there was too much slack throughout any part(s) of this area then try reducing some slack by increasing length slightly; vice versa if too tight then shorten accordingly; otherwise just leave them alone!

Check the shape and features of the saddle.

When you are looking at a saddle, it is important to check the shape of the saddle. You should make sure that it fits your horse properly and that there are no pressure points on his back or legs.

The features of a saddle can help you in choosing what kind of saddle would be suitable for your horse. These include:

• Girth size - The girth size tells how wide your horse's chest will be when he is wearing the saddle. A smaller girth means that you need to adjust yourself more often; however, if you want better control over movement then this could be an advantage rather than disadvantage because as soon as one side gets bigger than other side then balance becomes off kilter which makes riding difficult if not impossible (see image below).

• Stirrup length - Stirrups are used by riders when mounting their horses so they need space between them and their feet like normal humans do when walking around town with shoes on! Some riders prefer shorter stirrups while others prefer longer ones though there isn't really much difference between each other except depending on preference among different types/brands etc... so just go ahead with whichever option works best for YOU before deciding anything else :)

Look at how well the saddle sits on your horse.

It's important to look at how well the saddle sits on your horse. You want it to be even and not too high or low. It should also be wide enough so that it doesn't cause discomfort in any areas of the horse's body, such as behind the knees or under their elbows. If it is too long for your horse, they will have difficulty moving around in this saddle because they cannot bend their legs comfortably when riding.

The last thing you want is an ill-fitting saddle because then you'll have trouble getting them into shape after buying one!

Choosing a saddle that fits your horse and your riding style will help you enjoy your time on the trail or in competition.

• Fit: Fit is more important than style, price and comfort. You want a saddle that fits both of you so it's easier to work together as well as ride together. When buying saddles it's important to make sure they fit properly before buying them so there are no issues down the road with sore backs or sore knees from riding in uncomfortable saddles!

• Style: The style of saddle doesn't matter too much when choosing between brands because all brands have their own unique styles which makes picking out which brand would look best for you even harder than just looking at their website pictures alone (which we'll talk about later).

Conclusion

Choosing saddles that fits your horse and your riding style will help you enjoy your time on the trail or in competition.
