A saddle horn is a prominent feature on a western saddle, and it’s not just there for you to hang on to when your horse gets a little too spirited.
The gullet is the space beneath the pommel, positioned just above the horse’s withers. The design of the pommel and the angle of the bars on the saddle tree determine the gullet’s height and shape.
The seat is the lowest part of the saddle where the rider sits. It’s a crucial component for comfort and balance while riding.
The latigo is the leather or nylon strap that connects the cinch to the saddle.
