the ones that are tooled (decorated) are mostly for show. lots of leisure saddles have no tooling.
no!! western/stock saddles are so much easier than dressage saddles. as soon as u r in a westerns saddle, you will never go back to dressage. and theyre practically impossible to fall out of. but it is possible lol definetly not! western saddles are so much more comfortable than a dressage saddle. it is harder to fall out of, but when you do, falling forward and to the side really hurts your inner thigh, sometimes not able to get back on. ;)
the main different types of saddles are: western English Australian but there are many different types within those depending on the events you do such as: theres jumping or dressage within English type saddles and barrel or reining within western type saddles so overall theres hundreds of different types and that doesn't include the native American saddles and other different saddles form other countries.
Western riding cruel to the animals because the saddles are so heavay the horses act up because it is anwoying
Western show saddles are supposed to be really fancy to attract the judge's attention. The silver is simply there for looks. As for English show saddles, silver just isn't their type. They probably hold the silver for several reasons: English saddles are made looking simple, not fancy. Even dressage saddles aren't too complicated. Here's another. English saddles are made small, probably so that the horse will not have as much weight on its back and move more elegantly. The silver would add weight.
Does northern mean Western or English?? Western saddles can be as low as 150 but if you want a show saddle its up to $5000 is the price, my show saddle is 1000 dollars and is really nice. ENglish saddles cost more, but mine was free so i dont know how much they can be- someone told me my saddle is worth 1000 dollors! woohoo
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
There are saddles from antiquity that are so valuable they do not even have values. Regarding modern saddles, one owned by Gene Autry was sold for $12,000 USD.
your not sopose to. but yes if it is a thin smaller saddle pad you may. you can NOT! i repeat NOT! aloud to use a English pad for a western saddle as this pad may be too small for the saddle and with bridged the withers and back of the horse. be carefull on what you use on your horse! i reqamend to buy a western saddle pad if you are planing to ride western.
Most saddles are all hand made, no machine can make a saddle so the craftsmanship takes time so that costs money and is passed on to the consumer.
So it won't look garish.
