English saddles
Flat equestrian seats
English saddles are a style of horse-riding saddle with a relatively flat seat, minimal padding, and no horn—designed for close contact between rider and horse.
They're used in disciplines like dressage, jumping, and polo, where the rider needs to feel the horse's movements: She switched from a Western saddle to an English saddle for show jumping.
