A trail saddle is a type of saddle specifically designed for long-distance riding and comfort during extended trail rides. It typically features a lightweight construction, a wider seat, and extra padding to provide support for both the rider and the horse. The design often includes D-rings for attaching gear and a horn for added stability. These saddles are made to distribute the rider's weight evenly across the horse's back, reducing pressure points. Many trail saddles also come with adjustable features, allowing for a customized fit. Riders often choose trail saddles for their versatility and comfort during outdoor adventures.
