When it comes to saddles, you'll find that there’s a REASON equestrian saddles differ from one another. It's not just a issue of fashion or style. It is a issue of utility. What are the horse and rider attempting to achieve? Are they seeking to jump a fence or rope a calf? Riding saddles have developed over time to reflect the diverse things we do with horses

Like all saddles, the foundation of any English equestrian saddle is a solid tree. The saddle tree can be made of wood, fiberglass or plastic, depending on the manufacturer, though it is traditionally made of wood. This is the skeleton of the saddle. A poor tree will make a poor saddle. The tree should also fit the horse’s back comfortably. A saddle tree cannot be adjusted, so proper fit is essential. Ill-fitting equestrian saddles will pinch and cause discomfort, maybe even interfering with how a horse moves. Horses will let the rider know if a saddle does not fit properly by pinning back their ears during the ride or kicking or bucking. The rider may also notice if the horse is not moving as freely as normal. After the ride, if some areas beneath the saddle are sweaty and others are dry, the saddle is not fitting the animal correctly. Working up from the saddle tree, the next part of an English horse riding saddle is the panel. This is the part of the saddle besides the tree that comes into contact with the back of the horse. Covered with leather, it usually contains some sort of padding, either wool, foam or other material. No matter how much padding is in the panel, it cannot compensate for a poorly fitting tree. The girth on equestrian saddles is the English version of the Western cinch. It is a finely woven strap that wraps around the horse’s belly from one side of the saddle to the other, securing it in place. The girth should be fastened tight enough to keep the saddle securely in place, but not so tight it causes the horse discomfort or pain. It should be placed a couple inches behind the horse’s elbow to avoid any interference with the horse’s movements. The stirrups and leathers are usually purchases separately from the saddle. Stirrups are made of iron or steel and are slid onto the leathers to hang in place. Stirrup leathers are sized to fit the rider. The upper portions of English equestrian saddles are where you find the differences between the styles. Even though they differ, however, the parts are still basically the same. The saddle flap is located on the sides of these horse riding saddles, hanging down between the horse and rider. Some will have more padding beneath than others, depending on the saddle style. The skirt is another layer that overlaps the saddle flap, covering the buckle where the stirrup leathers attach to the saddle. This makes it more comfortable for the rider by shielding the thigh from the buckle hardware. The seat is smooth and hard to support the rider. Depending on the riding style’s needs, the English equestrian saddles will have seats that are either deeper or shallower. For example, a jumping saddle’s seat will be shallower than a dressage saddle. The pommel is in the front of the saddle, and is smoothly rounded, helping the rider keep his or her seat.
