[Kayla]

Just curious what type of saddle everyone rides in/likes

For what discipline? For Western my saddle is Cascade and for English I have an custom Crosby, but I ride in anything that fits me. I'm super happy with the Crosby, but the Cascade sometimes rubs my butt the wrong way after 4-5 hours. Lol. I should learn to get out of hte saddle for breaks and these long shows. ^_^

My first saddle was a jaguar (really really comfterable).... but we had to sell it and buy a new one when i got damon (didnt fit him) and so now i have a courbette.... actually all my tack is courbette... heheh thats funny.... neways i like both those kinds.....

I ride in a custom western saddle by Circle Y and it is the best saddle I have ever had. I love the deep-seat it provides, however sometimes sitting so low on a wider horse wears down your hips after a few days in an intensive clinic.

My western show saddle is also by Circle Y, and it's very nice for showing, but not very comfortable.

I was looking more for english saddles but whatver, maybe I'll buy a western saddle one day too haha. I've tried a hdr but it fit me very poorly , I've also tried a jaguar but while it was very comfortable, I just found it kinda odd. It felt almost too cushy and I couldn't feel the movement of my horse. I don't know, it was a deep seat so it was different already. Alot og my friends have jaguars though and they adore them. I have a pessoa right now and it is ok, I think I will be getting a bates though. The most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden in was the old crosby excel, the sure don't make those the way they used to!

i have two saddles, cause i event. but for stadium and cross country i have a devoucoux. it is the BEST saddle ever!! so comfy and it fits my horse great. but they are rather pricey though. i know you mentioned you ride english, so you would probably love this saddle. for dressage i have a niedersuss, and i really love this saddle too, and i got it for a pretty decent price.

My Dressage saddle is a used, Keiffer Wein..... OMG it's amazing. It's German made and bought new at $2000

My Western Show saddle is all decked out in silver and it custom made here at Lonestar Saddlery; it's amazing, but made for longer backed horses.

My hunt saddle is just a little collegiate. I don't ride hunter often, and when I do I use my friend's saddle from the Arabian Saddle Company.

I have an Abetta western work saddle that's nice and lightweight and very good when it rains.

i've had bad experiences with saddles and avoid them if possible. right now i just use a cheapy from the local tack store for training our young horses and the occasional trail ride.

Okay, so I'm sure no one has heard of it, but I ride in a Cynron. It's an english saddle, close contact. I love it, more than stubben and more than courbette. Within the first five minutes of you mounting, it molds to fit the horse's back and your seat. It fit a fat little appaloosa mare and it fits my tall, bony thoroughbred mare better than any saddle she's ever had on. I would kill for my Cynron, jk. But seriously, it's a nice classic looking saddle that you can ride in all day.

My jumping saddle is a Wintec Pro Jumper, which I love because it's so light and easy to clean. My dressage saddle is a Zaldi, a Spanish saddle brand, and it's amazingly comfortable, and my gelding moves well in it.

I have a devoucoux. Its the best saddle for hunter and eq. It is expensive but it has fit like every horse in my barn that i have to ride. All the people I have ever trained with have one and i just adore it.
