Western saddles are specially designed for riding horses in the Western riding style, which is popular in the United States. They are characterized by a larger, more secure seat and a horn at the front, which helps riders manage ropes when working with cattle. The saddle's design allows for greater stability and comfort during long rides. These saddles are typically made from leather and feature a variety of accessories, such as stirrups and cinches, to ensure a proper fit. Western saddles come in different styles, including rodeo and trail saddles, each tailored for specific activities and rider preferences.
