How much does a used western saddle cost?
It can vary greatly. The brand, style, condition and several other factors help determine the price on used saddles. You can find used saddles for several hundred dollars up to several thousand, depending on your budget. Before you settle on a particular saddle make sure it fits your horse's back and is right for your size.
When in a western horse show what is the proper way to hold the reins?
The left & right reins are attached to the bottom of the surcingle. There is often a ring or tag there for attachment. Until your horse is accustomed to the running reins , they should be run on the outside of the legs, threaded through the bit & back to the surcingle. Depending on what your running reins are like, you will probably have an adjustable buckle that clips to the reins & the top of the surcingle. Start the reins on a very lose setting on the lunge & gradually shorten over time once the horse begins to understand that lowering its head brings the greatest relief & comfort. It is important to always keep the horse thinking forward. Often the inside rein will be set shorter than the outside one to encourage flexion. Once the horse is experienced the reins can be run between the legs rather than on the outside of the legs.
How do you ride hunter under saddle?
Riding in Hunter Under Saddle is like Western Pleasure in English tack.
A Hunter Under Saddle horse should move with long, flowing strides and should carry its head so that the poll is level with the withers! Both rider and horse should look slightly relaxed, but attentive. Hunter Under Saddle is about showing what a pleasure the horse is to ride!
If your sidesaddle is English it will most likely have three girths:
1. The main girth is a Standard English girth - this would be the same type of girth you would use on a regular "astride" saddle. If you have a "girthie" horse, consider a fleece lined girth for your horses comfort.
2. The second girth is a "Balance Strap" - not all sidesaddles have a "Balance Strap", if it does not have a balance strap it is not meant for Jumping. It prevents the saddle from popping up or shifting to the left if the rider is not balanced. The Balance Strap should be snug but not as snug and the main saddle girth.
Note: Some sidesaddles have the "Balance Strap" sewn to the saddle and you would buckle the balance strap to the first billet.
3. The third girth is an "Over-girth", it holds down the flaps of the saddle and you would only need to fasten it tight enough to keep the saddle flaps secure.
Does a horse shoe hurt the horse?
No the shoe that the horse wears protects the horses hoof from wearing down the toe.
The horseshoe is nailed into the hard part of a horse's hoof wall. That area feels no pain, similar to when humans clip their fingernails! There is a "V" shaped area on the underside of the hoof called the "frog" which IS sensitive when poked with a sharp object or they step on something very sharp.
But, be sure that you never attempt to shoe your own horse on your own. Unless you are professionally trained as a farrier, wait for a professional farrier to shoe your horse otherwise many serious problems could arise.
Another Answer:
A horseshoe, as mentioned above, doesn't hurt the horse when it is put on and stays on. However, naturally horses don't wear horse shoes and have been able to, for millions of years, sustain themselves and wear their hooves extremely well trodding in places where rocks, pebbles and stones exist. Naturally a horse's hoof is as hard as rock and worn down by the rocks and stones that they get their hooves exposed to. Many wild mustangs and other wild horses live in areas where rocks, stones and pebbles are frequently scattered over their range, they don't live in lush grassy areas like a typical ideological pasture everyone envisions.
As mentioned, nailing a horseshoe on a horse doesn't hurt it. But as several, if not more and more horse people have found out, horse shoes do chronically hurt the horse in the long-run. It's been found, and seen by a lot of vets that lameness issues and founder and other diseases may be linked to the fact that horses are, literally, forced to wear iron shoes. It's also been found that when a horse looses a shoe, he doesn't exactly feel "pain," but rather a sudden tingling sensation when he can feel his foot again after the circulation has come back--sort of like when you fold your legs too long until they get numb, then when you unfold them you get this feeling of "pins and needles" which is the blood and nervous tissue coming back to life again. Compared to domestic horses, wild mustangs, brumbies and other wild horses and ponies who have never worn a horseshoe in their entire lives are healthier and better off than those who have to live in a barn and wear shoes their entire lives simply because it's just been the traditional "thing." Also, though, wild horses have naturally tougher feet while some (most) domesticated sport horse breeds cannot stay sound barefoot.
Which breed of horses are best to ride with saddles?
I would have to say connemara ponies are arguably the best. The Morgan Horse is a pretty good breed.
I probably would have to say a Quarter horse
Each horse breed has different skill sets. It depends on what your are interested in doing with your horse. For example if your more interested in western events, a stock breed would do better then a spanish breed.
There is no real answer to this question because this is over generalized. If you want to know the horse that is best suited for something you are interested in, google it.
Quarter horses are great barrel racers! Connemara ponies are fantastic jumpers and great at sooo much! but prettiest is the rocky mountain! <3
Why do some horses need harsher bits?
Unfortunately, horses will probably not like the feel of the bit in their mouth. Since it is an unfamiliar piece of metal in their mouths, it will feel odd and unusual, and some young horses being broken in will not like the feeling and fight it. However, most horses learn to become accustomed to the bit, and accept it. We do not know just what the horses are thinking, but we can assume they are fine with the bit as they do not show signs of discomfort when it is in their mouths.
There are various different types of bits available, either harsh or gentle to help your horse feel comfortable with the bit.

Saddle strap is a fastener used to attach a saddle on a horse. It is usually made of a leather. Typically, the leather straps are connecting the stirrups to the saddle and protecting the rider's legs from sweat. (Stirrup is a light frame or ring that holds the foot of a rider, attached to the saddle by a strap.)
What type of saddle is a barrel saddle?
There are many different ways that may determine and reflect upon a choice to pick the right barrel saddle for horse riding, but the most important approach is to choose what is best fitting for a rider.

A saddle pack is the same thing as a saddle bag. It is a set of bags made to attach to the saddle and hold items or food during a ride. They can be made out of leather or synthetic materials, some are made from cotton or wool. Another type of saddle pack is the pack saddle and panniers that are used on extended pack trips. These are large sack or box like containers that attach to a special saddle tree and must be weighed and kept carefully balanced.
What part of the saddle does the rider sit?
The pommel, or front of the saddle, rests on the withers which is the front part of the back (the shoulder blades). The cantle or back of the saddle comes to about midway along the horse's back. When riding a Tennessee Walking Horse (a gaited breed) in competitions a special saddle is used that sits in the middle of the horse's back.
Where did Oscar brown come up with the horse shoe?
Oscar E brown did not 'come up' with the horseshoe. The horseshoe has been in existence for thousands of years in one form or the other.
He did however 'invent' a new type of shoe that was supposed to be a 'double' shoe. An upper shoe was fastened to the hoof and a lower shoe was detachable from the upper shoe to sharpen caulks or replace it.
The double shoe was not very successful for obvious reasons such as the need to remove the upper shoe to trim the hoof and the fact that they were twice as heavy as a single shoe.
When was the English saddle made?
The English saddle was first made in the late iron age period, but these were only padded layers. In 200BC, the first tree of a saddle was made in Asia. IN the third century AD a leather saddle was developed by the Sarmatians, and soon after came the metal stirrup and spur. After 3000 years of development, we got the saddle that we use today. Hope this was helpful :-)!

What kind of horse should have a full cheek snaffle bit?
Its is not the "kind" of horse that determines the type of bit you should use it is the discipline and training level of the horse that determines it.
A full cheek snaffle should be used on a horse being ridden english. It is a fairly mild bit that can be used on horses of all training levels. The cheeks pieces are there mainly to prevent the bit from slipping from side to side in the horses mouth but it does provide a bit more action in the horses mouth than a loose ring snaffle.

When should a foal begin halter breaking?
The day it's born. Seriously, halter breaking is a lot easier when your foal is already used to humans. As soon as it's born, rub it all over, touch it everywhere and talk to it. This will "imprint" the foal and make handling it much easier. Every day, go play with the foal, put the halter on and off, touch it all over, get it used to the lead rope, etc. Then just try light tugging on the halter, as soon as it moves even one step forwards, release the pressure to reward the foal. Then ask for 2 steps, 3, etc and soon you will have a nicely halter-broke filly or colt :)
A numnah, or saddle pad. The saddle pad is a square, and the numnah is the shape of the saddle, generally.
In North America, usually you will only hear the term saddle pad. Comes in all shapes (for some dressage saddles, "swallowtail", square, fitted) and thicknesses (a "baby" pad is a thinner variety"). Also, many English riders use half pads that are half the size of a saddle pad and are meant to fit under the saddle but on top of the saddle pad (some people use them alone). These come in memory foam, sheepskin, or various synthetics.
