Unique horse saddles are equipment that embody features that cause them to stand out from the regular.
The fittings, shape, material, attachments, straps, and girth setup can all add up to create something one-of-a-kind.
There are many reasons to develop a different saddle, including comfort, aesthetics, weight savings, ease of repair, and functionality.
At 5000 Miles of Hope, we focus on horse travel and expedition saddles, bags, and gear. We needed tack that would allow us to travel vast distances in comfort.
To accomplish that goal, we applied the holy triad criteria of solo horse travel: comfortable, durable, and lightweight.
Take a look at my unique horse travel saddle.
