Description
Cutting Western Saddles are specially crafted for the sport of cutting, where riders need to have quick and precise control over their horses.
Low Cantle and High Pommel:
The low cantle allows for more freedom of movement for the rider, while the high pommel and horn provide stability and a secure grip.
Flat Seat:
Typically, the seat of a cutting saddle is flat with a slight rise at the pommel, which helps the rider maintain balance and move fluidly with the horse.
Roughout Leather:
Many cutting saddles feature roughout leather on the jockeys and fenders. This material enhances grip, helping the rider stay firmly in place during those rapid movements.
Reinforced Rigging:
These saddles often come with reinforced rigging to withstand the demands of the sport, ensuring that the saddle remains securely in place during intense cutting sessions.
Slim Stirrups and Back Cinch:
Cutting saddles are usually equipped with slim stirrups to reduce interference with the rider’s legs, along with a back cinch for added stability.
Wear Strap:
A leather wear strap is commonly included between the fenders and the bottom skirt to minimize wear and tear from constant movement.
