Buying guide for saddles

Before you buy, check three points. The first is the material. Natural leather lasts longer and holds up better to daily use.

The second is the size. The piece should fit well on the animal's back and the rider. The third is the style, which changes with the use you'll give it.

• Ranch saddle: tough for daily work
• Western saddles: comfortable for long rides
• Show styles: ideal for events and exhibitions
• Pony styles: made for smaller animals

Advantages of western horse saddles

Western horse saddles offer something hard to match: handwork and strong materials. The treated leather holds up to years of use without losing its shape.

A good saddle also spreads the rider's weight well. This protects the animal's back. That's why well made saddles for horses give comfort to both.

Tips for using your horse riding saddle

To care for your horse riding saddle, wipe it with a dry cloth after each use. That way you keep dust and sweat from damaging the leather.

Apply special grease or oil from time to time. This keeps the material soft and prevents cracking. Store it in a dry place, away from direct sun.

One extra tip: check the straps before every ride. A loose buckle can cause accidents. Good care from a trusted country saddlery extends the life of your piece.
