Big Horn
Nylon Saddles
Gaited
Horse Saddles
|
Fit your high withered
horse! Gaited horses need plenty of
room in the wither area to perform their best. They perform a 4
beat walk at fast speeds. They place more weight on the rear end
than do Western Pleasure animals. They need a saddle
especially designed for their abilities. Big Horn Saddlery is in
the heart of gaited / TWH country. They worked with top trainers
and top vets to engineer these saddles for your best horseback
rides!
Excellent saddles for
beginners. Excellent spare saddles. Excellent saddles for
"horse traders" to use in package deals! (Holler our way
for riding camp type quantity discounts) Excellent saddles
when weight, strength, stability, comfort, consistency, is
important.
This is not just any saddle.
BigHorn decided to distinguish themselves from all other
nylon/leather combination saddle makers. They sat down in a board
meeting and asked, "How can we make a better, lightweight saddle,
that will allow the stirrups to turn easy, for arthritis; something
that any normal lady, or any person over 60, or a person under12, can
lift."
They decided to replace the skirts, stirrup leathers, and fenders with
Cordura© nylon. It costs like leather. It is as strong as
leather. But because Cordura© can be cut and sewn like in a
garment shop, the cost savings come in the labor time making these
parts. The bindings are specially turned from the same material,
so you will not have edges falling loose.
Leather, not synthetic,
is next to your body's saddle block area. This lets your crotch breathe. No excessive
sweating like there is with naugahide seats. The best stainless
steel hardware is used, rather than the cheapest plated pot metal.
No cheap velcro imitation expected to hold
your stirrups on. No excessive stretching in spring or summer sunshine. No
tearing or cracking in the cold weather from cheap vinyl pommel
covers, or seats. No conchos, nails or screws breaking loose out
of an inferior tree. (I hate to bash other makers, but these Big
Horn saddles are quality, and some of you have heard horror stories
about other brands.)
My oldest children began,
and rode these Big Horn saddles until they were older teens. We still use
them today, 25 years later. These Barrel Racing saddles allow
lots of free movement in the stirrups. The seat and cantle are
designed for your security. The light weight is always a favorite
with gymkhana. And when it's time to ride short trails, we just add
strings and bags!
If you want your saddles to
last this well, ask us about preconditioning and best continuous
conditioning & care, even before we ship to you. Cool thing
is: just a few little differences between dealers will make a huge
difference in your long term riding enjoyment.
Your saddle
should be a pleasure to ride. These Western pleasure riding
saddles have a slight rise in the font of the seat, and are built
on one of the most popular tree models available. Plenty of cantle
to hold you in and a horn that stays out of the way until you need
it. Saddle includes both front tie straps.

Swept
Fork Gaited Saddles
Why
are there no smaller seats? Having trained the TWH breed,
you learn that the gaited horse carries more of it's weight on the
rear end than "trotting" horses. The seats are usually
ridden a size larger than you would on other horses, with a sort
of bucket seat, to keep your weight further back too. This tends
to help with a smoother ride. The swept back forks are to keep you
from feeling lost in your saddle. Still, a larger rider can
usually also fit in the 17 inch models comfortably. This is due to
the engineering of the gaited horse saddle. The 293 model gives
even more thigh room when needed.

BigHorn makes one of the finest neoprene
slip
resistant, non chafing, girths in straight or roper models. Nylon and Stainless
Steel hardware are removable for easier cleaning. Sizes: 28, 30, 32, 34, 36.
(Black or Brown). No.9994 Straight, or "cutter" girth...$41.99
or No.9963 Roper or "wide center" girth...$59.99. Roper type is really
shaped for elbow relief. It also has one side elasticized for better trail
riding and arena fit. Easy to tighten roller rings for attaching to your saddle. This is one of
our favorite girths, because it combines the English girth ability
to give to the horse, with the Western ability of more stability.
Cultured
Cowboy has a huge selection of pads and blankets to
make your saddle best fit your horse & riding.
Let's talk about these options! (Big Horn
Saddlery Reinsman,
and/or Mayatex)
Another
favorite is the BigHorn felt lined, (nose & crown) halter.
What this means to you is that of all the halters we have used for
almost 50 years, these seem to be best for leaving on the horse during
longer periods of time. The nylon doesn't get hard like polypropylene
halters. The felt allows this halter to be more comfy in most
weather conditions. Padded nose & crown dry back fast
without problems. This halter uses rated materials so that it
should hold together for most pulls, but will break, or snap
straighten with excessive effort that would have hurt your horse
anyway. Easily repairable. Comes with a Warranty. Snaps are easily replaced.
Re-stitching
with a standard leather type or heavy duty sewing machine , or by
hand awl can be done. OR, the halter can be returned to us or to
the maker, (clean), for repairs. 1 year warrantee coverage,
(At our
stables, ours average lasting over 10 years.) Hardware is brass
type with no bad edges. 7624 is 3/4 inch nylon, (not polypropylene),
with adjustable crown & nose with throat snap (which can
be twisted either hook in or out). Available in sizes: XL Horse,
Reg Horse, Arab, yearling, weanling. (suckling & pony
available too) All popular colors available. Only
$21.99 or 3 for $19.99 each. 7139 is
the same model in 1 inch nylon. $26.99 or 3 for $24.49 each.
Available in popular XL (Draft), Reg horse, Arab & Yearling
sizes.
Matching leads
have availability to interchange brass snap, halter chain, or bull
snap as you like. Matching colors 1 inch heavy duty brass
snap lead Only $12.99 each or 3 for
$11.49 each. (Brass Chain leads add $5.00 each. Or get an
extra brass chain with the HD snap lead for $7.99 extra.)
These
accessories are priced at about 25% off the makers already
reasonable prices. Adding these items will not increase the
shipping costs on most saddle deliveries, due to the new dimensional weights
used by UPS. So get them with your saddle and save even
more!
