Western Tack For Sale

can you tell me the pros and cons of each of these english saddles??

All of the saddles that you have selected are essentially the same. You have some style differences between the all purpose and the close contact. (Close contact geared more towards jumping.) If you will be using these saddles with any regularity, more than just the occassional ride, I don't think you will be happy with any of them. They are very cheaply made with poor quality leather (despite what their ad may say.) Often times these saddle are not properly fitted to be on a horses back and they will pinch and cause saddle sores. For the same price or a little bit more you can buy a better quality english saddle used. A well cared for used saddle can last a lifetime and it will be much more comfortable for you and your horse.

I know this because I am cheap... I have bought several cheap saddles because I thought it was a better deal to get a new saddle than a used saddle. But I have learned the error of my ways... and now I look for good quality used saddle. If you are going to be jumping your horse it is even more critical that you have a well balanced and well fitting saddle for both of you.

Good Luck!
