Struggling with chair seat? Out of balance? Pelvic issues? You may be riding in a saddle made for a man.

Riding shouldn’t hurt. Female riders often struggle with issues simply because they are riding in a saddle made for a man - recurring back, hip, neck, knee pain, feeling ‘pulled apart’ and discomfort in the pelvic area. These are documented in ‘The Rider’s Pain Free Back’by Dr. James Warson MD. In a male style saddle, female riders have difficulty sitting in a balanced position, achieving shoulder- hip-heel alignment and using the body’s natural shock absorbers (four natural curves of the spine, her hips, joints and knees).
Saddles are designed differently for women according to unique differences in the female pelvis, leg length ratios, musculature, seat bones, and pubic symphysis. It is common for women to have a longer upper leg (men’s upper and lower leg lengths are usually equal); this impacts leg position. In order for a woman to br ing her spinal column into an erect position, she needs to tilt her pelvis forward which displaces her centre of gravity causing her to sit on her pubic bone (which hurts) rather than on the seat bones. In a male saddle there is little support at the cantle so the female rider collapses at the hip, falling back into a chair seat. Her legs shoot forward like a pendulum, which affects the ability to give proper aids to the horse.
Saddles designed for women have a soft seats, crotch comfort─ alleviating pressure on soft tissue, narrow twists ─ so the leg hangs naturally, wider seams, wider seat widths, more support in the cantle, and extended stirrup bars. See the improvement when a woman rides in a female saddle on the Schleese You Tube channel. Riding in a gender appropriate saddle prevents pain and long term damage while improving rider comfort, balance and position. by Jochen Schleese CMS CSE
