RE: [RC] Saddle Weight - Adam and JannelleOn Monday, September 19, 2005 2:06 PM, SandyDSA@xxxxxxx [SMTP:SandyDSA@xxxxxxx] wrote: Need some input here - what do you all think would be a fair weight of a saddle, western, for say a 900 pound fairly fit Arabian? I am looking at them from 25-38#. 38 seems far too heavy. I need to ride with a horn in some of the rougher areas since this stiff ankle makes mounting and dismounting tougher without a horn.... I have a Fabtron that I use on my smaller horses and I love it. It is about 23#'s and has a horn, and is leather upperand cordura fenders and skirt. It fits my girls great and is eaisy to lift at the end of a ride. I use it to compete in as well.
