Saddle seat is a style of riding that emphasizes a specific type of saddle and riding posture. It is commonly associated with certain breeds, such as the American Saddlebred and Morgan horses. Riders sit in a forward position, using a high-headed, upright posture to showcase the horse's movement and elegance. This riding style is often seen in competitive events, particularly in horse shows and equestrian competitions. Saddle seat riders typically wear formal attire, including tailored jackets and riding boots, to complement the sophisticated appearance of their horses. The focus is on both the rider's and horse's performance and presentation.
