10 Reviews: Best Horse Saddle for Hip Pain (Sep 2023)

A forward-cut monoflap design for improved horse sensation. The monoflap has sleek, heavy-duty girth points. The stirrup bar is ergonomically shaped and has a channel for stirrup leather. Everything works together to blur the saddle and concentrate on your horse. In the ultimate leaping seat. A smooth, ultra-narrow, and close touch feel promote your precise alignment in this neutral posture. SynergyPanels give the greatest protective cushioning and air shock absorption. These panels relieve strain on your horse’s back and enhance blood flow to its muscles. SynergyPanels let your horse leap naturally and confidently. You’ll feel your horse’s full strength and agility since he can move freely. Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar allows for precise performance. The location of your stirrup bar affects your natural saddle alignment. This Bates stirrup bar’s unusual shape decreases leg bulk.

From the moment I swung a leg over my Advanta and sat, I was instantly in the right spot without even trying. Adjustable stirrup bar is great keeping my leg under me even when I hike up my stirrups or lengthen for flat work. Calfskin is soft, grippy, elegant and still looks new after 3 years.

In this one-of-a-kind, stunning pleasure saddle, you’ll stand out in the arena or on the trail! This saddle has an antique finish with a black inlay that adds depth and attractiveness. The saddle has beautiful hand-carved flower and basket weave tooling inside the leather, giving it a bright but timeless appearance. The black suede seat is well-padded for comfort and has decorative patchwork stitching for enhanced grip inside the seat. A plethora of ties are added to the saddle on gleaming silver conchos for accessory attachments such as saddlebags. The bottom is fleece-padded to keep your horse comfy during the trip.

I bought this set for the saddle, as I needed a new show saddle. It is nice, and the fact it came with matching set for the price is great! I love it so much! [...]

For tiny riders, this cute horse saddle is the right choice! The turquoise padded suede seat and turquoise embellishments on the silver Texas star conchos are highlighted with a vivid turquoise crystal trim that complements the turquoise padded suede seat. The horn is leather-wrapped for added strength and serves as an accent to the trim on the cantle and stirrups of the horse. Because of the horse’s comfort, the underside of the saddle is generously cushioned with fleece.

Just received this today and I am very surprised and happy with it... Much more beautiful than the pics show... [...]

The High Horse Cordura line has a new saddle called the Daisetta Trail Saddle. It comes with a lot of options that you can choose from to make this saddle your own. Starting at the Pommel and going all the way to the cantle, this hat has a new border tooling pattern from High Horse. It also has new copper flower conchos. Afterward, you can choose from double-padded seats made of either black suede or a black grain out. You can also choose from black walnut or black finish for the tree. This is a good choice for a horse with a shorter back because the skirt is short and rounded. It is also 25 inches long. An adjustable flat plate rigging lets you choose how you want to rig your bike, and the tall cantle will keep you safe on a variety of trails. Keep the weight down with Cordura fenders and skirt. This saddle weighs just 21 pounds! Makes this a good choice for the trail because it has long saddle strings.

The HH Daisetta Trail Saddle fits my horse and is comfortable for both of us. The Circle Y brand is known to be quality and an excellent product. This means those same ratings.

This saddle will not only look stunning with its leaf border tooling and silver conchos, but it will also be a pleasure to ride in thanks to its comfortable and supportive design. Additionally, the saddle is fitted with Softee seat jockeys and fenders that do not need any break-in time in addition to the Neo-Shock shock-absorbing skirt with Slip-Not skirt lining. There has a swell width of 13 inches. The cantle has a height of 3.5 inches from the ground. It is 2 1/4″ in length from the tip of the horn to the base of the neck cap when measured this way. In order to give you a sense of how hefty it is, the weight is 32 lbs. The shape and size available are 14″, 15″, 15.5″, 16″, and 17 inches in diameter.

I really like this saddle. The twist is narrow and really fits my body well. I can ride on this saddle for hours and not experience any discomfort. I get complements all the time on this gorgeous saddle. [...]

Saddle is very nice and sits very well

This saddle is good for reining horses. It was built on a rawhide-wrapped wooden tree that comes with a lifetime warranty and is made of the best leather with the best tooling. This saddle has been made by hand and has a beautiful basketweave design all over it. As you drive, a well-balanced, smooth leather seat moves with you. Handmade from cowhide that has been carefully chosen for its long-term quality and suppleness. 28″ long skirt with a 15″ drop. 32-pounds Silver conchos add a little sparkle to the pommel, front and rear jockeys, and skirt, which are made of basket weave. This is because the leather under your thighs and on the fenders is smooth. This lets your legs move freely. All of the training aids can be held in place by stainless steel rings on the front and back. Horses can move their shoulders freely in turns because the in-tree rigging allows them to move freely around their trees.

I received my new saddle via Fed Ex, there were a few blemishes on it which I was a bit disappointed in, however over all it is a really nice saddle. It is attractive enough for the show ring and comfortable enough for the trails. [...]

If you want to stay comfortable on even the longest trail rides, this is the saddle for you! It’s made of chocolate leather from Hermann Oak. In order to make the rider as comfortable as possible, the seat is double-padded and very soft. It has a fiberglass seat with a hardwood tree that lets you have full and even contact with your horse’s back. To keep things safe on the trail, rings are woven into each string pair. The piece is about 24 1/2 pounds. The gullet’s height is about 7 1/2 inches, and its widths are Regular- 6 1/2 inches and Wide- 7 1/2 inches.

I really liked the versatility of this Cashel saddle and the fact that it is made by Martin Saddles with the Axis tree. I love that it is very light weight at only 24 lbs. That is great for a western saddle. It's design is smart and practical. Love this saddle!
