what brand of english saddle should i get?
I just sat in a english saddle i like it more than western saddles. The horse i will be riding is a gypsy vanner and i dont plan on doing any competition like jumping or dressage i just like the english saddles because i think their more comfortabe and less bulky. Can anyone tell me a brand to look at or a type, something?
I have a Henri de Rivel. I love it! My horse has high withers, so the fact that the saddle fits him is pure luck! It depends on your price because they are about $800.
On Wintecs, I would steer clear. I really do not like them. Synthetic... Ick.

What kind of saddle do i use for trail riding if my horse prances?
My horse is a prancer and im going to be using her mostly for trail riding....So what type of saddle would be best for us? I only have rode english. I can easily pick up on western tho. What type of saddle for a prancer on trails....Western or English?
I personally am more secure in a Western saddle when things get rough, especially when trail riding. Not everyone feels the same way, though. So I guess you need to ask yourself what saddle you feel the most stable and secure on if your horse starts to really act up.
The disadvantages to an English saddle during a crisis are 1)the stirrups swing more and give you less stability 2)you don't have a horn to grab onto if necessary. So I'd suggest a good Western saddle, but make sure you're comfortable in the arena Western before you head out to the trail.
I would also consider what bridle, bit and rein type will help the most with this specific horse. In most cases I trail ride with a snaffle bit. I'm not sure if that's the best choice for your horse that wants to prance, or not. A leverage bit might make her feel too contained and trapped and make things worse, or it might give you a bit more control. One thing I really do prefer when trail riding is a comfortable mecate rope rein, the type with a loop (so you don't drop the rein if your horse trips or jerks it out of your hand) and the extra piece which is handy if you get off and lead. I use split reins often, but if things get tricky I'm always aware that they can be easily dropped if my horse bolts, stumbles or throws his head.
Good luck and keep safe. I'd recommend a helmet at all times, too, especially if your horse is a prancer.
