How much does your saddle with stirrups attached weigh?

just trying to gauge as mine feels rather heavy!

zero your bathroom scales as your stood on them, then pick up your saddle, post results in stone or kilo.

Thanks

bump,

no one has a saddle at home and some bathroom scales

i really want to hear the answers to this but my mum wont let me bring the saddle in the house or the scales outside so i cant help damn it

thanks Rascasse! do jumping saddles generally weigh more than GP?

Anymore weights anyone?

 

[LadyRascasse]

i would have said jumping saddles tend to be lighter, my GP is defiantly more heavy that the k2

I have no idea. Saddle is across the yard in the tack room but I just finished poo-picking and am too lazy to go get it. Sorry!

Will be interested to see replies though. I think mine is reasonably light compared to other saddles that I've handled recently. Curiosity may overcome laziness later!

 

[CobSunshine]

Take the scales to the tack room instead ;-)

Just sold one that with all the gubbins, breastgirth etc attached, weighs 40lbs, as I only weigh 120lbs it was a bit heavy for me.

I do not have scales in my flat (I do not own any!!) so I cannot weight my dressage saddles, however, my Albion SLK is SIGNIFICANTLY lighter than my Jaguar XKC...... Even OH commented on the difference in weight!

22llbs (10kg) for a leather 17.5" XW GP, without stirrups or leathers. I weighed it years ago as I was shocked at how heavy it was.

nearly 3 stone :- O

Western, leather

So my saddle with stirrups coming in at 1 stone 4 lbs doesn't seem as bad as i thought in comparison. Thanks for everyone's weights

My albion plus accessories weighs 14lb (sorry dont do metric). I have always wondered when people are asking how much weight a horse can carry if they also take saddle weight into consideration as this adds nearly a stone. Feel guilty as my horse supposed to carry 12 stone, which is just me , without tack!

 

[CobSunshine]

how do you know how much your horse can comfortably carry? are there any kind of guidelines or is it a case of how long is a piece of string!

I know from weighing in at the begining of Endurances that my old English leather jump saddle weighs exactly 5kg with stirrups and girth.

My synthetic DR saddle (Bates Caprilli) weighs about 1/2 that!
