Description
Cutting Western Saddle is specifically designed for the sport of cutting, where the rider needs to control and maneuver the horse quickly and precisely.
Low Cantle and High Pommel:
The low cantle provides greater freedom of movement for the rider, while the high pommel and horn offer stability and a secure handhold.
Flat Seat:
The seat of a cutting saddle is typically flat with a slight rise at the pommel, allowing the rider to maintain balance and move easily with the horse.
Roughout Leather:
Many cutting saddles use roughout leather on the jockeys and fenders. This provides better grip and helps the rider stay firmly in place during quick movements.
Reinforced Rigging:
These saddles often have reinforced rigging to handle the stresses of the sport. This ensures the saddle stays securely in place during intense cutting sessions.
Slim Stirrups and Back Cinch:
Cutting saddles usually come with slim stirrups to minimize interference with the rider’s legs and a back cinch for added stability.
Wear Strap:
A leather wear strap is often included between the fenders and the bottom skirt to reduce wear and tear from constant movement.
