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.
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.
Various brands sell Wintec Saddles like Divoza and Digikey. Wintec Saddles are used for horse riding and are very expensive, ranging from 400 to 800 dollars.
Saddle making is an art and a science. The maker starts with the foundation of the saddle which is the tree. From that the leather pieces, stirrups, cantel, fenders, ect. This is why saddles are so expensive.
the ones that are tooled (decorated) are mostly for show. lots of leisure saddles have no tooling.
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.
It is not- however, it can be expensive to feed and care for a horse, and good tack (saddles, bridles, etc) is not cheap.
