Saddles come in a bewildering array of types and sizes. When selecting a saddle, the first thing to consider is what are you going to be doing with the saddle? If you're going to be participating in a particular sport, obviously you should start by selecting a sport-specific type of saddle- a jumping saddle, a barrel racing saddle, an endurance saddle. If you're not sure or plan to do a lot of different activities, a basic all-purpose English or Western saddle is the place to the start.
