You could probably find used Western saddles at a farm, or pawn shop. Pawn shops' might be a little bit cheaper on the saddles, because farm ranchers usually take care of their stuff better.
One can find good prices on used Western show saddles online at the amazon marketplace. There are also some old western antique stores that may sell these used items.
They aren't. Arabs have one less rib than other breeds of horses but that is unrelated to western saddles.
In the horse world, you can have many types of saddles, but the two basic saddles are English and western. There is a cross between the two of them, but not as much people ride in them. The western saddle is much bigger and heavier than the English one, and has a horn. The cross is shaped as a western saddle, but does not have a horn.
you can find saddles in dungeons. some people suspect you will be able to make one out of leather in a future update
You did not specify what "these parts" are; it depends on whether it's an English or Western saddle. Common to both are the pommel, the seat, the cantle, the stirrups, the fenders, the cinch. Western saddles are much bigger than English ones and are used for entirely different purposes. Western saddles have a horn, that's one difference, and you really need a picture to see what the differences are.
English saddles are usually $500 for a fair one, but for a high quality one, they can go up to $5,000. Western saddles are usually about $700 to $3,000, depending on the quality and amount of silver.
For pleasure riding and ranch work. And yes, only on a horse fitted for one. Hunters or jumpers accustomed to English saddles may not take kindly to the extra weight.
they made saddles. this was an important kob back then because every one used horses to get around. there are still saddles around today but im sure there made by machines.
There are many different kinds of saddles and many very good saddle manufacturers. Saddles are broken into 2 basic types of saddles. The western and English saddles. Most saddle makers usually make one or the other of these 2 kinds. Western saddle makers cater to different riding styles. Western pleasure, roping, cutting, equitation, trail, show, are a few. English riders also have many choices with hunt seat, all purpose, dressage, saddle seat, and close contact. From the outside looking in it seems confusing but before long you will have it narrowed down to what will work best for you and your horse.
There are a variety of saddles but all the names are: G.P.(general purpose), Dressage, jumping, stock and western. I hope this answers your question P.S. If you are looking for a child's horse camp where you can own a horse for a week, look on this website : http://www.lakewoodlodge.co.nz
As a long time rider of both disciplines, I would have to say that English saddles are harder to ride in. English saddles require more balance in the stirrups and more is expected of the rider when riding this discipline. Western saddles seem to have a much deeper seat; they also have a more laid back style of riding, where there is less requirement of the rider to focus on how one sits in the saddle. There is also something to hold onto; the horn, which is not present on an English saddle.
Eastern riding uses thinner saddles designed for jumps and dressage, these saddles give a better feel of the horse and a rider uses two hands to control the horse. Western riding is meant for ranch work, long hours in the saddle, and uses thicker saddles designed for comfort and the horses are trained to be controlled with one hand on the reigns.
