An endurance saddle is a type of English saddle used for endurance riding competitions where a rider and his horse cover 50 to 100 miles in just one day. It is lightweight and sturdy to endure the miles of rugged and steep terrains. It is a close contact saddle that minimizes the bulk under the rider’s legs.
A horned endurance saddle is used for general-purpose horse riding. Most models are used for hunt seals and other types of flatwork.
Hornless endurance saddle
A hornless endurance saddle does not have a horn. It is comfortable to use whether on trail or in the show ring.
Solstice endurance saddle
A solstice endurance saddle is ideal for endurance riding and other equestrian events. It is the most comfortable English saddle for competitive riders and leisure trail riders. Most models have long billets used with dressage girths to reduce the bulk under the rider’s leg.
Fit: Choose an endurance saddle that does not interfere with your horse’s extension and movement. It should not limit the movement of your horse, throw it out of balance, or cause it any discomfort.
Bit: Choose an endurance saddle with a gentle snaffle bit for general-purpose horse riding, initial saddle training, endurance riding, and leisure riding. The saddle with a curb bit is the most popular endurance saddle, but it can mess up your horse’s reaction time and cooperation when not handled properly.
