English Saddles & Tack
English Saddles and Tack
Equestrians who participate in show jumping, dressage or other English disciplines will need the proper saddlery and tack. In Tractor Supply’s vast range of horse products, you can find options that suit the English riding style, from snug-fitting saddles to traditional accessories.
Get the Right Equipment for English Disciplines
Many equestrian disciplines have strict dress codes and require the proper equipment, and this is especially true for English-style riders. To ensure proper communication between you and your horse, as well as comfort while riding, you may require:
Saddles
Communication with your horse is a must during competitions and English saddles allow for it. With a lightweight design and shallower seat, you can get closer to the horse to communicate your desires more easily. Some options feature only a saddle, while others come as sets that include reins, bridles, stirrups and more.
Saddle Pads
Protect your horse’s back with English saddle pads. These cushioned pads reduce friction and pressure points to make carrying the saddle more comfortable. You’ll find all-purpose models, as well as options designed specifically for dressage, close contact and more. Some are baby pads, which can be used underneath a regular saddle pad to keep it clean.
Reins
English reins offer precise control and direct communication with your horse’s mouth. They are generally one piece and can be attached to bit rings. Explore leather and nylon options for enhanced durability or rubber styles for added grip.
Halters and Leads
English halters and leads are helpful for leading your horse to the paddock or tying them up in the stable. Explore various materials, such as leather for sturdiness, cotton for a lightweight feel or nylon for durability. Some halters have breakaway closures for safety or padded nosebands for comfort, while leads come in several lengths to meet your needs.
Bits
Attach your reins to English bits for accurate communication during riding, jumping and more. They use a direct pull action for preciseness and are available in snaffle styles to be gentle on the mouth. Discover different finishes, from stainless steel or black for a sleek look to copper for a stylish touch.
Curb Chains
English curb chains help you control your horse’s head and neck when riding while maintaining comfort for them. They prevent the bit from rotating too much and are made with durable leather and stainless steel.
Stirrups and Leathers
Mount your horse and stay balanced using English stirrups and leathers. English stirrups are made narrow and short to help you stay in the correct position when riding.
Bridles
English bridles help enhance direction and communication with your horse. They’re available in different sizes for horses of various life stages and shapes, including mini and pony sizes for smaller horses and oversized styles for animals with larger heads.
Girths and Accessories
Keep your saddle secure using English girths and accessories. Made with rugged materials such as leather and nylon, these products withstand regular use and make sure your saddle doesn’t budge.
Martingales and Breastplates
English martingales and breastplates are ideal for added safety when riding. Martingales prevent a horse from raising its head too high, while breastplates attach to the girth to stop the saddle from slipping backward during riding.
