Western Horse Saddles on Sale – for the Weekend Lady Trail Rider

Western horse saddles for the weekend lady trail rider are easier to find than you might think. When it comes to a female rider, the biggest factor is the weight of the saddle.

No matter how much you work out, before and after a long trail ride, you don’t want to exert more energy than necessary tacking and untacking your horse. And think of your horse. No one wants to make him or her carry much more weight on his or her back.

When it comes to choosing the right saddle to fit your horse, your body, and your budget it can be overwhelming. The old saying “you get what you pay for” comes to mind every time. But what if it doesn’t have to be a big price tag that gets you exactly what you need?

What if it just comes down to knowing what you need and knowing where to go to get it? If that sounds familiar, you’re in luck.

Ladies, you have enough stress in your life. It’s time to let someone else do all the hard work for you. Luckily, you’re in the right place as there is a list below that has several excellent saddles to choose from.
