The cantle provides support for your lower body and also comfort while riding.

Trail and reining saddles usually have a medium height cantle around 4-5inchinch and Barrel Racing and Ranch saddles often have higher 5inch cantles. ~@Swell:12inch Swell Close~@~@The swell is the widest distance from the outside ends of the fork - it is the part of the saddle that the horn is on top of. A wider swell will give you more leverage and security where the narrow swell will give you more room to maneuver your legs. ~@Horn:Show Horn Close~@~@Different riding disciplines use horns differently. A trail saddle usually has a horn easy to grab hold of where a roping saddle has a reinforced horn that is thicker and with a larger cap. A show saddle usually has a low ornate horn.

This allows the rider to have closer contact with the horse being able to give better cues. ~@~@Stirrups:Show with silver Close~@~@The shape of stirrups are usually bell_ oxbow (round) or square (aluminum trail/endurance).
