Synthetic Saddle
Leather or Synthetic saddle?
I'm not going to be buying a saddle for some time now, but I was wondering what are the pros and cons on synthetic saddles? I ride western, I do primarily pleasure riding, and trail, but I also do a few small-scale shows every year. I'm have a lower-end budget ($700) and I wouldn't mind getting a used saddle. My main concern is fit, although I would still like something durable that I can show in a little.
I've owned BOTH kinds and the leather ones are still with me. In the early 90's I traded a set of corner plates for a Wintec Sport and grant it, it was a GREAT saddle, BUT the difference in sitting in one vs my now 39 year old Stubben Siegfried is like the difference between owning a Saturn and trying to compare it to a Mercedes. Let's see if the Wintec holds up to the standards of a Stubben nearly 40 years later.
I also ended up with an Abetta western saddle for a bit and ended up GIVING it to my best friend, who also basically ended up GIVING it to somebody else.
Our reasoning behind this is that a synthetic, no matter how they make 'em has no "GIVE", that's one of the reasons for the interchangable gullets in the saddles of the Wintecs. I can honestly say in the decades of owning my Siegfried (Stubben), I've NEVER had it on a horse it didn't fit and I've owned a LOT of different sized/breeds of horses. From WIDE Quarter Horses to Narrow TBs and even a couple of Arabs.
I can also say the same about my Western saddles. My favorite saddles are a 40 year old Circle Y and perspectively my now 22 year old Broken Horn Show saddle and 12 year old Broken Horn working saddle (Both BH saddles were made for me on semi QH trees which will fit the majority of horses I have and will own.). I don't like the fact that the synthetics don't have any "give" to them and you stand a better chance of soring up a horse because they don't shift with a horse's body (They have little or no "give" in the trees, let alone the comfort that a leather saddle does for it's rider if you get a good, quality saddle.).
If you're limited on funds, then try e-bay and find a good used saddle.

Cath and Mel [What Faith Can Do]
looking for a good Synthetic Saddle?
want to buy a synthetic saddle, something lite weight when i need one, i perfer to ride bareback, anyone have one thats comfy and worth the money?
i own a very nice western leather saddle i have had for over 20 years, looking for something lighter for my horse shes only 14.1 hands and im at 138 pounds just thinking of her, something to throw on her thats light and comfy when i dont feel like throwing my all leather saddle i have on her.
i have and old sears saddle i have used for over 20 years and love it, maybe i will just stick with that, or ride bareback i like it better anyways
from what i hear im better off staying with my old and true leather, not that she minds the wieght, it me putting on her back, lol i would rather spend the money on a new saddle pad and bridle for her, thanks to everyone for helping me

I was going to recommend the Wintec before I read the details.
I don't think Hilason saddles are comparable to Wintecs
