Those who believe that it is suitable to purchase any type of saddle for any type of event are mistaken. Different types of riders and events call for different saddles.  Using the wrong saddle could both inhibit performance and increase chance of injury.  Horse riding events call for event saddles.

Event saddles are used in an array of event types.  Horse riding events include cross country and show-jumping. Cross-country consists of approximately 12-20 fences. The fences are essentially barriers such as telephone poles, stone walls, ponds, ditches etc. that the horse and rider have to maneuver around. The event is timed. 

Show jumping consists of 12-20 fences arranged in the form of a ring. This event is also timed and tests technical jumping skills including suppleness, obedience, fitness and athleticism.
