English Horse Saddles
I have a tennessee walking horse that i have had for 4 years now and i wanted to train him to ride english. . . . I know how to train him and all but i cant seem to find an english saddle that would fit him. . . I have been looking and almost all of them say "Not for wide horses". I know they make them in a size that would fit him. I have seen Draft Horses with them. So. . . . What would they be called?

You should use an english pleasure saddle. They are used for gaited horses like Tennessee walkers and saddlebreds. I have 3 Tennessee walkers and I use Crosby saddles. Usually all the english pleasure saddles are flexible and fit most horse sizes. Ive never had a problem with saddle size when it comes to english pleasure saddles. I wouldn’t advise you using a hunter saddle because gaited horse don’t move right for an english saddle, you will be slipping around and feel awkward in it.
