Generally speaking, endurance saddles are built with less skirting and therefore retain less heat. In competition the advantage of using an endurance saddle is simple: the horse carries less overall weight and the saddle is cooler for the horse to have on. Most experienced endurance riders don’t like horns on their saddles as they get in the way when ducking under trees or riding uphill. As well, most endurance saddles have a stirrup with a wider platform to keep the rider’s feet more comfortable over longer distances. The stirrups are generally hung underneath the rider instead of the typically more forward position to help the rider attain a centered riding position, or as others describe it, a dressage position. This configuration helps the horse work more efficiently. Questions? We want to know! Check our FAQ page first, maybe the answer is already there.

The rigging on endurance saddles should pull more from the center of the seat rather than straight down as in traditional Western saddle rigging. Western style rigging puts a lot of pressure in the front of the saddle - right behind the horse's shoulder blades. Ideally, endurance saddles should have a bulkless rigging system that lies flat under the rider's leg to eliminate chafing irritation.
