What riding discipline is what is called a cutback saddle used for?
A cutback saddle can be made for any discipline. It is designed so the pommel is cut farther back to accommodate high withered horses.
How much should you come out of the saddle when jumping?
You shoud come out of the saddle about 30 degrees when jumping, but it actually depends on how high the jump is that you are tackling. If is is a very high jump, eg. over 1 metre, then you would have to get out of the saddle more to be able to balance with your horse. Hope this helps. =)
At a high level of horse riding horse riders sit on which part of the saddle?
it depend on what tyoe of riding your doing. for example if your galloping towards a barrel u sit forward in your saddle but if ur riding a cow horse us sit balanced on the back of your saddle to have more controlfor English riding:for all: you shouldn't be either leaning too far forward, or back. your shoulder should be lined up with your healwalk, you should be relaxed, but still alert and sitting in about the center of the saddle.trot: for a post you lift your butt out of the saddle when your horse rises - you come slightly out of the saddle, not straight up, but slightly forward.canter: as my old trainer desctribed it to me: you kind of "scoop" with your butt.gallop: there is a position called half seat were you lift your butt slightly out of the saddle so its easier for your horse to move faster, if you do half seat instead of sitting down, you will find that your horse is more willing to go faster.jumping: "2-point" its where you lean forward in the saddle (butt up in the air) with a strait back. only go up into 2-point when you feel your horse jump, if you do it to early, your horse may take a little dive before the jump and it will feel kind of akward (trust me). and if you are jumping small fences (2-2 1/2ft) you should stay in the 2-point position for a stride afterthat's about it :o)~Bella
At a high level of horse riding horse riders sit level of the horse?
The rider should not sit in the front or the back, but should be dead center, so they do not throw the horse off balence. Like if tyou sit on a barrel on its side and lean back, the barrel will tip up. If you lean forward, the barrel will tip back. If you sit in the center, the barrel will stay in place. This sounds easy, but it is very difficult to master staying in the center all the time, but it is essential to a good ride.
What kind of saddle is used for jumping?
You can jump in a saddle seat saddle the same way that you could jump in a western saddle or bareback. However, it will be difficult because the balance in a saddle seat saddle is different from that in a hunt seat saddle. With a saddle seat saddle, your weight is further back, and the stirrups are much longer. Also, saddle seat saddles lack knee rolls. If you are going over high jumps, it will be very hard to keep your balance in a saddle seat saddle.
At a high level of horse riding horse riders sit in the front of the saddle?
yeah It depends on their style of riding. If you watch international show jumping competitions you will see that some riders (usually German) ride in the back of the saddle. I'm not saying that's right but it does work for some people.
What is the difference between saddle seat and western seat?
Saddle seat is a type of English riding that involves a high-stepping horse, and the rider has his/her legs farther out in front than in most English saddles. Western is a type of riding where the saddle has a horn, and is deeper and more secure than an English saddle. Western riders do not jump.
Should a horse show in both hunt and saddle seat disciplines?
Well here in the USA hunt seat and saddle seat are two very different styles of riding and would require a horse to be retrained to show in one or the other. Hunt or hunter riding is designed for horses with long low flowing gaits that may or may not jump depending on which classes they show in. Saddle Seat is aimed at highly animated horses such as Saddlebreds and National Show horses that have a high knee action. The riders sit farther back on the horse and keep their legs off the horses side and tend to ride from the hand a bit more. There is no jumping in Saddle seat.
How high should a horse stall be?
10 feet is the minimum for any structure that a horse will enter.
What horse is the right height for a 5 foot child?
Well any horse would be fine but if your child wants to be able to put on the saddle,do up girths etc then the perfect height would be 14 hands high because then when your child grows it will still fit the horse :)
