The Endurance Saddle - Horse and Rider Training

The endurance saddle is almost exclusively used for endurance riding or for long distance riding. You have to ride with longer stirrups in an endurance saddle.

The Western Endurance Saddle The saddle is very comfortable for both the horse and rider during long periods of riding. They are usually made with a panel that extends beyond the base of the saddle to spread the weight out over the horses back. Most will have a padded seat to increase rider comfort.

However, the endurance saddle is only suitable for endurance and long distance riding because the rider must ride long.

The cut of the saddle prevents the rider from shortening their stirrups.

The saddle pictured above is a western endurance saddle which will provide ultimate comfort for all day riding.

As will a good quality Australian endurance saddle. The Australian saddle is a very popular choice among equestrian endurance riders.

The Endurance Saddle Good modern endurance saddles are improving all the time

The best endurance saddles incorporate pockets to hold water and other personal items, as the torsion treeless saddle on the right.

The torsion saddle is designed to feel like bareback riding, but with the safety, comfort and security of a saddle.

You sit in the movement, rather than on top of a saddle, without the pressure or restriction of a stiff and rigid tree.

As with all other horse tack you should buy the best you can afford and make sure it fits your horse and suits your purpose and what you want to do with your horse.
