English Tack is used for the English style of riding, including Dressage, hunting and jumpers. The English Saddle was originally created in the 18th century and was primarily used for bull fighting and cattle work. Over the years, the English horse saddle shapes changed to keep up with new riding styles and the new all purpose saddle provide both the rider and the horse with increased comfort and safety. The term “English Saddle” includes several different types. Current English riding saddles include the following styles: the all purpose English saddle, custom English saddle, English endurance saddle, English dressage saddle, English jumping saddle, and English show saddle. A few of the more popular used English saddles are the Pessoa saddle, Bates all purpose English saddle, and the Amerigo English dressage saddle.
The English Bridles feature a Caves son nose band, and is mostly used because it has the greatest functionality. The typical English Cave son may be worn loose or tight fitting to assist with keeping the horses mouth shut within the mid section of the jaw. Another English bridle, referred to as the double bridle, has two bits for optimum control by the rider. All purpose girths are available in leather and synthetic (neoprene and nylon) versions. Within each are more options: fleece lined bridles, gel padded bridles, double end elastic bridles, contour girths, straight girths, split end girths. They are available in two inch increments, usually from 38 to 60 inches.
English Girths are available in leather and synthetic girths. However, synthetic girths tend to be more popular, even with those who have a leather saddle. Options include fleece lined girths, gel padded girths, elastic ended and contoured girths. These come in two inch increments, usually from 22 to 34 inches.
English Reins may be sewn straight to the bit. This is actually the most professional way of attaching English reins. Most English reins are available in plain leather or cotton reins, which can be dressed up with lacing. Depending on the size of the rider, some riders prefer extra long reins. A bit will not make a horse work properly, but proper riding does. While different horses have different mouth conformation and various sensitivity levels that require using a variety of bits, it is the rider’s responsibility to master the horsemanship skills essential to properly communicate with the horse. For the English style of riding, English tack supplies are essential for professional quality and safety. Riders in the English style need all of the English Equestrian Equipment to become competitive.
