Saddles, Stirrups and More

Some riders say that riding bareback helps them develop a unique bond with the horse. One thing you definitely develop is powerful leg muscles. If you'd rather stick with a saddle, new and used ones range from $350 to more than $5,000, with higher-end saddles frequently coming from France or Italy.
