Western Saddles for Sale

A good quality western saddle will last many years if looked after properly. It is also important to choose the correct size for your horse. As with all equestrian equipment, it's better to buy something a little larger than you need rather than smaller so that there will be plenty of room for growth as well as movement!

The Western saddle is a vital tool for the cowboy who spends all day, every day in the saddle.

The Western horse saddle is a vital tool for the cowboy who spends all day, every day in the saddle. It's used to ride horses and cattle, as well as pigs.

In order to choose the right western saddle for you horse, it's important that you understand what makes up a proper fitting saddle. The following will help explain how each part of your horse's anatomy affects its ability to sit comfortably on a Western saddle:

Saddle tree; This is the solid core of the saddle.

Saddle tree: This is the solid core of the saddle. It supports most of your horse's weight and helps him stay balanced when you ride. The brand name on your horse’s saddle might not be as important as what it says about its construction—a good saddle needs to be sturdy enough to hold up under heavy use, while being light enough for you (or your mount) to move easily in it.

The most common materials used in modern western saddles are leather or synthetic leather, with metal branches added for durability; plastic branches are sometimes used instead of metal ones where there isn't much risk involved with injury from falls or collisions with other riders' horses.

The seat; It is important that you choose a seat that is comfortable and allows you to sit correctly.

The seat; It is important that you choose a seat that is comfortable and allows you to sit correctly. You should also ensure that the saddle fits your horse properly, as this can make all the difference between an uncomfortable ride and one where both horse and rider enjoy themselves.

The material of the saddle should be chosen based on its durability, weight and ease of cleaning. A thick layer of foam may be used in some cases but this will make it harder for horses to move around freely when they are out in their fields or pastures. It's better if they can move freely because this means they won't get sore muscles after exerting themselves too much during long periods sitting still (such as when schooling).

Horn: The horn is purely for handling the horse and isn't really used for riding in a western saddle.

It’s not a bad idea to have one, but you can easily buy just a simple leather pad with no horn at all instead of paying extra money for something that offers no performance benefit.

Cantle: The cantle is the back of your western saddle. It's made from leather and used to support the weight of your horse, as well as position the bars on his back.

Stirrups; The stirrup leathers hold your weight and are important for your balance when riding a horse.

Stirrups are the parts of your saddle that hold your weight and are important for your balance when riding a horse. They come in two main types, short and long; short stirrup leathers are attached to the stirrup iron at one end, while long ones have two holes that go through both ends of their leathers so they can be attached closer together on either side of the horse's leg (the same way as a normal shoe).

Skirt; The skirt is basically a sling that hangs over the bars of the saddle tree; they help position the bars on the horse's back and allow them to move freely.

The skirt is basically a sling that hangs over the bars of the saddle tree; they help position the bars on the horse’s back and allow them to move freely. Skirts are made of leather or synthetic material, but if you choose one made from leather, it’s best to get one that provides high-quality padding as well. You can also choose between different styles: curved or straight skirts (curved ones are more comfortable because they give your horse better freedom of movement).

The color of your western saddle should match with its decoration; this will make your horse look stylish and elegant!

Fenders; These are full length panels that run down both sides of your legs and are an essential part of aiding your balance. They help position the bars on the horse's back and allow them to move freely.

Flank cinch; This wraps around you horse's belly just below his / her last rib and above his back legs.

The flank cinch is used to tighten the saddle on the horse. It should be tight enough to hold the saddle in place, but not so tight that it restricts the horse's breathing. In order for you to make sure that your horse's flank cinch is adjusted properly and snug enough to stay put, follow these steps:

Tie a length of rope around both ends of your saddle, about 6 inches from each side (you'll need two ropes). Attach one end of this rope through a loop at the top edge of one flap (the part closest to where you sit), then use another loop on top of the second flap as well (this will help keep everything tidy when adjusted later). You can use any type of knot or tie here—we recommend an overhand knot because they're easy-to-adjust and won't come undone during riding!

A good quality western saddle will last many years if looked after properly

Saddles are expensive, but they're worth every penny. They need to be cared for properly so that they last a long time and don't develop unwanted stains or cracks. Saddle cleaning involves using warm water and detergent, followed by rinsing with clean water before drying off the saddle with towels or paper towels.

To condition your new saddles after washing it, you can use conditioner (not oil) on all areas of leather such as the seat area and stirrup leathers before wiping off excess moisture with a soft cloth. You should also dry out any parts of leather which have been soaked in water by hanging up them over racks or drying racks outdoors where there's good airflow during hot weather conditions so these areas can air out naturally without being damaged further due to high temperatures inside your home when left unattended! It’s important not only because they look better but because they protect against mold growth inside too."
