Where can I find a english saddle for under $50?

Question

I need an all purpose saddle.

Answer 1

I've been riding horses for all my life, and am currently working on building my own barn. You won't find a good saddle for under $50, but you may find a good saddle less than 100 on eBay. Also, go to tack sales. Saddles that are less than 50 are saddles that are used to break horses. They put the saddle in them, then let the horse run around, and try to destroy the saddle. These saddles are dry, cracked and may even have holes or broken trees. I recommend eBay first. But know your saddle size. If you find a decent saddle that looks in bad shape, spend a couple dollars on a good saddle softener, thats what I do. Apply it every day, in 2 weeks it will be amazing. Good Luck!
