“Ten Things to Watch For When Buying a Saddle”

 

1) Is there a problem with following the recommendations of my trainer or riding buddies?
2) What’s more important – that the saddle fits me or fits my horse? What are the main things to look for on the saddle?
3) What if I have to fit more than one horse with the same saddle?
4) How important is resale value? What if I find a really good, name brand saddle for sale on ebay?  What should I watch for?
5) What are the most expensive repairs if I buy a used saddle that needs some work?
6) What other incidental costs could arise when I buy a saddle?
7) What would be the one most important consideration of saddle features when buying a saddle?
8) What if I need a bigger saddle than the saddle support area of my horse would allow?
9) Why do 17” saddles from different manufacturers never feel the same?
10) What are some of the other considerations for fit that should be considered?
