If you need an endurance saddle from a legendary endurance saddle maker, you can't go wrong with this one. The sport of endurance riding demands the best in saddle fit and construction. Our Custom Endurance Saddles are built with less skirting and therefore weigh less. Less skirting also means the horse retain less heat giving the rider a competitive advantage. Our endurance saddles weigh approximately 20 pounds in a 15 inch seat.

Even with a saddle pad, tack and a few trail items youll be easily under 30 pounds. An endurance saddle usually doesnt have a horn as they get in the way of the endurance rider when ducking under trees or riding uphill.

As well, most endurance saddles have a stirrup with a wider platform to keep the riders feet more comfortable over longer distances. The Synergist Endurance Saddle is rigged with a double billet system that pulls 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 horses shoulder blades.

This makes it hard for the horse or mule to move freely in the shoulder area. The double billet system on our custom endurance saddles also lies flat under the riders leg to eliminate chafing and irritation. When designing lightweight saddles for women we pay close attention to the differences in the pelvic girdle of a women compared to that of a man.

The seat for a womens horseback riding saddle has to be designed differently than a seat made for a man or she will not be comfortable. Saddles For Women Critical Differences.

The distance between a womans seatbones is generally between 4 to 6.5 inches. (a) A mans will measure between 3.5 to 4.75 inches. Most mass produced saddles are designed by men for men and this is rarely taken into consideration. One of the measurements we require from the rider is the distance between their seat bones.

Trail saddles for women should have a finished seat that has wide enough support for her pelvis. Also, saddles for women should have a seat that is slightly shifted forwards as a womens seat bones usually contact the seat of a saddle slightly farther forward than a mans which also affects where we start to sculpt out the seat for the thigh to lay.

Another difference is the angle at which the thigh bones leave the pelvis. (b) Mens legs can comfortably hang down straighter from the saddle whereas a womens usually need to angle forward a little more. These differences affect how we shape the seat where the thigh passes between the base of the cantle and the pommel on custom saddles for women. The last main difference is a womans pubic arch at the front of the pelvis is much lower than a mans. (c) Unless specifically instructed by a customer we put the least possible rise in the seat from the back to the front as possible to give the female horseback rider more clearance. When all is said and done this attention to detail results in superb fit and unparalleled comfort for the woman horseback rider as well as the man.
