Close Contact English Saddles

A close contact saddle is a good "move-up" saddle once you have some experience under your belt. Like the all-purpose saddle, it is a hunt seat saddle. With its modest knee rolls and a relatively flat seat, the rider can feel the horse’s side with his or her leg more closely.  On the other hand, the rider must maintain a good leg position without help from the leather.  A close-contact saddle is meant for a more skilled, secure rider.

Saddles and Bridles Blog



Horseback riding and showing is a dream that many of us have from when we were little. There is something about these magnificent animals that grabs the heart and mind and never lets go. This site is about horses, riding, enjoying, showing, and buying equipment for. A little of everything for the horse lover in all of us, whether we're currently owned by an equine or not. One goal of this blog is to point you toward good selections of new and used English and Western tack : horse and pony saddles, bridles and cavessons. Equipment is expensive, especially the good stuff. Most of the top of the line saddlery is beyond the budget of most of us, but our four-legged friends deserve the best we can get. That means checking out the used saddle market for top quality horse tack by Hennig, Stubben, Passoa, Crosby, Reinsman, Circle Y, etc., and of course many custom made pieces by well known saddle artisans. It's better to buy a first-rate used saddle than a badly made, poor-quality new one. Your horse will thank you!
