whats the difference between a regulare english saddle and a dressage saddle?
i didnt know they made a different saddle for every dicipline! lol
but if i have an english all purpose saddle could i use it for dressage?
what all diciplines could i use it for?
thanks.
There are three main types of english saddle. Jumping saddle where the flaps are shorter and further forwards, http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:etfpO4GtdpRl1M:http://www.horsepage.com/show%2520jump%2520saddle%2520for%2520sale%252019.5%2520seat.gif
General Purpose saddles are designed to be ridden in any discipline, it is especially handy for eventing as you wouldn't need to change your saddle in between events. However, this is mainly for people who ride in the lower standards of riding. If you were to go up to top level riding, it would probably be expected of you to have a proper dressage saddle. But a general purpose saddle is the best one to get if you are on a budget and not riding professionally.

and the dressage saddle has very long flaps in order to allow the rider to ride with longer legs and looks like this.

I recommend a general purpose saddle for you, you can use it in dressage riding and every other type of riding. Most people have and use one.
