The cutting saddle is designed for the process of separating a single cow, steer, or calf from a more massive herd. Cutting is a fantastic activity and requires an elegant and graceful saddle. A cutting seat is designed to keep the rider balanced and out of the way of the horse during stops, sharp starts, and turns. However, you cannot only rely on the saddle, so you need to keep a balance to stay in place during an unpredictable frenzied ride.
Unique features of a cutting saddle include:
- Tall, thin horn for a secure handgrip.
- Rough-out jockeys and fenders for better grip.
- Wide, high, and straight swells made to keep in the rider during sharp turns.
- Maximum maneuverability possible due to flat, long, smooth seat. The cutting seat is longer than other styles.
- Forward-hung and free-swinging fenders designed for the rider to stay balanced and deep during sharp stops and turns.
- Low cantle that can’t hit the rider in the back.
- Double rigging – front cinch and flank cinch.
- Slim stirrups to keep your boot in place.
