TACK FOR WOMEN
We're having difficulty finding good links for this topic! With the obvious exception of custom saddle makers, there are few options for saddles designed to fit a woman's frame - especially in Western tack - narrower twist, shorter fenders, lighter weight overall....Do you know of saddles, chaps made especially for women? We are inviting you to share your knowledge on the Bulletin Board.
Jeremiah Watt, a well respected saddle maker, also known for his bits and other tack items, offers a western saddle designed to meet the needs of horsewomen. The "Watt Bros. Lite Ride Saddle" is available in a variety of designs, weighs between 18 and 25 lbs, and features a narrower twist to suit a woman's frame, and a horn that a smaller woman's hands can more readily grasp. www.ranch2arena.com
