Horse Riding Saddles
Which size of horse riding saddle would be best to buy?
My daughter weighs around 130 lbs and is 5 ft 6 inches tall. Her pony is 14hand 2. What would be the right size of saddle to purchase for her pony.
Hi !! Here's an answer to your question, I hope it helps!
A saddle should always be bought to fit the rider, before the the horse. Never shop on-line unless you are sure you know what size to get.
The sizing also depends a lot on what you are using it for, dressage, cross country. If your daughter is about 130lbs you will need (approx) a 15'', but remember that saddles come in different widths as well. (narrow, medium, medium wide, wide, extra wide)
Also remember these 5 points-
1. The saddle must be clear of the spine.
2. The saddle must not rest on the loins.
3. There must be no pinching of the withers at the sides.
4. The saddle must be level and the weight spread evenly.
5. The saddle should also be checked with a riders weight on

Riding my horse with no bridle or saddle
which is the best saddle for horse riding?
which is the best saddle for horse riding?
That depends what you are going to do with your horse. If you're just gonna hit the trails and play around with your horse, I definitely reccommend a nice leather western saddle. Don't go with synthetic, they are junk. Of course, you don't need a $1,000 leather one either. I got a gorgeous used leather saddle for $450, and it was in great condition.
If you are going to jump or show English, get an English saddle.
(Western saddles are the bulkier ones, with a horn, and English ones are a lot smaller and there's not much to them.)
