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
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.
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.
