Racing Saddle
Can you use a racing saddle for All Purpose riding eg. 1hr hacks?
I was thinking about buying a racing saddle but could i use it for long distance hacking?
well obviously i have seen one and ridden in one before otherwise why would i be asking the question duh?
i was asking if it would be comfy and ok for my horse. duh
Well i see my friend at work ride every day in it even when the horse rears/bucks/rolls and she doesnt fall off. i guess its just the person whose on the horse.
Thanks for everyone ELSE for answering my question.
It depends on if it is a half tree or full tree racing saddle. A half tree is rather thin towards the back and with your weight constantly in it, it can cause pressure points on the spine.
A full tree is fine for hacking around in and the only difference to a regular saddle is that it has more forward cut flaps. Obviously some people answering this question do not realize that you can drop the length of your stirrups in a racing saddle and when riding yearlings, you never ride as short as you would riding work. I used to ride my horses in training all over the roads, woods and beaches and only did fast work with them every other day and mine were all ridden in a full tree racing saddle.
