At EQ Saddlery, we pride ourselves on stocking a range of high-quality saddles for every discipline, including a broad range of premium western saddles. The most obvious feature of western saddles would be the prominent ‘horn’ on the front of the saddle. Traditionally the horn is used to control cattle through the use of a rope with the rope tied onto the horn. In today’s society many people who ride in a western saddle have never roped a cow before, but the tradition of the horn stays.

When looking at purchasing a western saddle there are several things which need to be considered. These factors include colour, material, brand, design of the saddle and size. The most important consideration when buying a saddle is to ensure it not only fits you but it also fits your horse's shape as well. Having a saddle that is fitted to your horse is of the utmost importance as consistent use of a saddle that does not fit can lead to an unhappy, sore horse.

Prior to purchasing a western saddle from EQ Saddlery, we highly recommend taking your potential saddle/s out on a professional saddle fit with one of our independent saddle fitters. This allows you the opportunity to ensure the saddle can be fitted to your horse, but also allows you to have a sit and feel how the saddle fits when aboard your horse. This gives the customer the peace of mind that when they are purchasing a saddle from EQ Saddlery that both themselves and their horse are confident and content with the saddle.

Where there are saddles, a saddle pad is the best accessory. Saddle pads allow you to express your own style through your riding. Whether you are plain and simple or all class, shop the range of EQ Saddlery’s western saddle pads from a premium range of brands such as Equestrian Stockholm, Fortworth, EQ Armour, Eskardron, LeMieux and more! 

Head into your local EQ Saddlery store to sit in our high-quality range of western saddles and have our staff assist you in narrowing down your favourite saddle. Book a fit with one of our independent saddle fitters to confirm with a professional that your potential new saddle fits both you and your horse before purchase.
