endurance saddle
An endurance saddle is a specialized type of saddle designed for long-distance riding, particularly in endurance events. These saddles are lightweight and often feature a wider seat to provide comfort over extended periods. They are crafted to distribute the rider's weight evenly, reducing pressure points on the horse's back.
Endurance saddles typically include additional features such as multiple attachment points for gear and a design that allows for freedom of movement for both the horse and rider. They are commonly used in competitive events like the Tevis Cup and are favored by riders who prioritize comfort and performance during long rides.
