FAQs About Horse Saddles
How do I know if a saddle fits my horse?
A well-fitted saddle clears the withers, doesn’t rock, and allows even pressure distribution. You should be able to slide 2–3 fingers under the gullet when girthed up.
What’s the difference between leather and synthetic saddles?
Leather saddles offer durability and a classic appearance. Synthetic saddles are lighter, require less maintenance, and are great for all-weather use.
Can I use one saddle on multiple horses?
You can if the saddle has an adjustable gullet or fits multiple horses with similar shapes. Be sure to check the fit individually on each horse.
Do saddles come with stirrups and girths?
Most saddles are sold alone, but some starter packages may include stirrups, leathers, and girths. Always check the product description or bundle options.
What size saddle do I need?
Saddle seat size depends on your height and leg length. Common adult sizes are 16.5" to 18". Kids’ saddles usually start from 12" to 15".
