Utilizing Elegant Dressage Saddles

Much like the bridle, English saddles are designed to allow freedom of movement for the horse. With the wide variety of jumps and moves involved in various competitions, this flexibility is extremely important. The modern English saddles can be traced back to early hunting saddles, but obviously many adjustments have since been made to support the various activities.

This piece of equipment for English riding includes the following types of saddles: polo, hunting, show jumping, saddle seat, eventing and dressage saddles. The most prominent distinctions are the lack of a protruding horn, as well as panels that are connected underneath the sit, which can be filled with air, foam or wool. A flap on either side is attached to protect the horse from the leather of the stirrup, as well as support the rider's leg.
