The saddle aid saddle - literally life-saving. https://www.saddleaid.org
This is a great ideaThe saddle aid saddle - literally life-saving. https://www.saddleaid.org
That's a McClellan cavalry saddle, the old Universal Pattern British cavalry saddle is pretty much the sameOn an endurance yard I used to work on, one of the horses was ridden in what I was always told was a South African stock saddle. However, I have never been able to find a picture of one that looks the same. This is the closest I could find and it is described as an 'Indian War Saddle'.
Regardless, it was super comfy and brilliant on long endurance rides. The panel that sits between the seat and the horse was free moving so they would move with the horses back. I keep trying to find one like the one I rode in so I can have one for hacking my horses in! It's interesting seeing what other styles of saddles exist across the world. I'm hoping to save up one day to buy a proper traditional Portuguese saddle for my Luso mare.
I have a saddle very similar to this a Prestige Trekker. It has a floating seat to give both horse and rider comfort on endurance rides.On an endurance yard I used to work on, one of the horses was ridden in what I was always told was a South African stock saddle.
