10 Reviews: Best Horse Leather Saddle (May 2024)

From Breakaway to Barrel Racing to Goat Tying, this multi-purpose saddle can handle it all. This lightweight All-Around saddle swells nicely for roping, features a low cantle for goat or calf tying, and a single skirt. This saddle features a Plumas Tucson full seat and is constructed of Chocolate Roughout Leather. For a multitude of reasons, including saddle fit to your horse and riding pleasure, these saddles are a great choice. Competitor saddles are ideal for riders on a tight budget who want a high-quality saddle. They are handcrafted in Texas. A 5-year warranty is included with the rawhide-covered wood tree, silver floral berry conchos, rawhide-covered stirrups, natural leather, Cheyenne roll cantle, in-skirt front and rear dees, a full suede seat, sunflower tooling, and 90/10 wool mix lining. The seat pocket is meant to hold the roper in place and give more balance, giving the roper the upper hand.

The Martin Team Roper Saddle has a design to keep a roper’s body in position while allowing for maximum precision and performance. The saddle helps the rider get the most out of their horse while retaining stability and control, allowing them to perform better. Riders keep their feet firmly planted beneath their center of gravity, staying underneath the horn. The seat pocket stirrup location and swell design prevent riders from tipping forward. Because of the cantle design, they remain with their horse as they exit the box and throughout the race. The edges are stitched, and the back housing and fenders are lined with extra tough Hermann Oak skirting leather for added durability. Billets have been reinforced to lengthen their lifespan and boost their toughness.

We love our new Martin saddle. NRS was great to work with in getting it shipped overnight for the weekend.

Bought this saddle this spring and don't regret it for one second. What a well built and comfortable saddle to ride. Been to a few team roping's this spring and summer and have had nothing but great compliments about the looks of this saddle.

Purchases of NRS Competitor Range saddles are now available. NRS designed them to be a high-quality saddle line for Team Ropers, Barrel Racers, Ranch Ropers, Cutters, and pleasure riders alike.  On this NRS Chocolate Roughout with Inlaid Gray Bullhide cantle and gullet, you’ll find a 6 7/8″ gullet. 13 times bigger than it is currently, it has the power to expand. The horn cap has a height of 3 1/2″ and a width of 2 3/4″. The 7/8 Drop Dee is on the opposite side. The skirt is rectangular in form. Due to its 90/10 Wool Blend lining, it is both soft and sophisticated. Their Rawhide-covered Wood Tree comes with a 5-year warranty.

These Cordura synthetic saddles are perfect if you’re looking for a great, lightweight trail or show saddle. These saddles stand out from the crowd with silver conchos, plush cushioned seats, and a one-of-a-kind design. Nylon is used to bind the saddle, ensuring that it stays tear-resistant and easy to clean. The seat cushion is plush, and the Blevins buckles are adjustable. The tree is made of double-reinforced fiberglass, while the underbelly is made of soft synthetic fleece. Get a matching headstall, reins, breast collar, and pad for your horse. Clothespins are not included in the package.

We love this saddle. We got it for our 10 year old that just started riding last year. She does rodeo events and trail rides and it has been great for both. The quality is awesome and it’s so cute! Definitely worth buying.

This high-quality turquoise barrel racing show saddle is now available in one of Acerugs’ most popular patterns. This saddle is embellished with crystal trim, a padded seat, and silver conchos. The hand-carved tooling and silver studded details give a splash of sparkle, while the suede seat allows the rider to maintain a firm hold when racing the barrels. The saddle’s underside is extensively cushioned with wool for the horse’s comfort. You’ll also get a matching headstall, reins, and breast collar! The cinches are not included. Chestnut is the hue of the leather.

I am very impressed with this saddle. I bought it over a year ago and have used it on two very different horses. I absolutely love the seat; it's very comfortable, and allows me to have great posture. [...]

This is a gorgeous vintage synthetic horse saddle in the traditional style. The saddle weighs only 17 pounds, making it an excellent choice for any rider looking for a comfortable, lightweight saddle for their horse. Because the saddle is water-resistant, cleaning it is a pleasure; all you have to do is wipe it off with a wet towel. The saddle is reinforced with a nylon bind around the corners, which makes it rip-resistant. There are matching headstall, breast collar, reins, and pad included with the purchase of this item. Cinches are not included in the price.

For the money I spent there’s no way I was expecting this saddle to be any good just bought it to start a young horse off with a lil saddle weight on his back and that’s about it.... but IBDamned I love this lil cheap saddle[...]

This saddle looks like a traditional one, but it can be used for many different types of English riding without costing a lot of money. Hidden knee rolls, soft flaps, and a medium-deep padded seat help the rider get a secure and stable seat. This saddle is great for riders who want to work on their equitation, and with the padded panels, it’s also good for the horse. The high cantle and long flaps make this saddle good for flatwork, but it also has a lower pommel and flaps that are a little forward for riders who want to jump. A lot of D-Rings are great for attaching saddle bags and straps to your bike while you’re out on the trail.

The best saddle ever with the best stirrups that hold my weight! The leather is the best quality ever and the color is fab looking! It is very comfy to sit in. I recommend it for jumpers! :)
