The First Rider Sport Endurance Saddle is crafted to meet the demands of long-duration rides and varied terrain. It features a deeper, more comfortable seat to assist rider stability, broader panels under the horse’s back for improved weight distribution, and a lighter tree construction to reduce strain on the horse. The flaps are shaped for a slightly more forward leg position to accommodate stirrup lengths used in endurance or trail work. Ideal for riders who cover substantial mileage in the saddle or engage in endurance training, this saddle blends comfort, durability and functional design.
Target Species: Horses (ridden by human riders)
Application: Used for endurance riding, long trail rides or any prolonged riding sessions where both rider and horse benefit from enhanced comfort and support.
Method:
Fit the saddle on your horse, check the tree width, panel contact, clearance at the withers and overall balance.
Position the stirrups at a length that allows the rider to maintain a secure yet comfortable leg position over long rides.
Use appropriate pads and girth consistent with endurance/trail use (lightweight, breathable materials preferred).
After the ride, clean the saddle, check for wear (especially at girth points, stirrup bar area, panels) and store it in a covered, dry area.
Frequency:
Suitable for every ride when engaged in endurance or extended riding sessions.
Ensure periodic servicing check panel stuffing, stitching, adjustments, etc, to maintain fit and performance.
Deep comfortable seat: Enhances rider stability and comfort during long hours in the saddle.
Broad weight-distribution panels: Help spread rider load over a wider back area, reducing pressure points on the horse.
Light tree construction: Minimises added weight on the horse’s back, especially beneficial on long rides.
Trail-/endurance-friendly geometry: Flap and stirrup positioning promote a supportive yet relaxed leg position suitable for many terrains.
Durable build for repeated use: Designed to withstand frequent, long-distance usage by both horse and rider.
