Our system is patented and used worldwide. We have a range of custom options to suit your needs and design your dream saddle! Specialized Saddles founder, David Kaden, started competing in the sport of endurance racing in 1999. David’s love for horses led to the development of an adjustable saddle, which he ultimately received a patent for. He now owns a top endurance saddle manufacturing company

Specialized Saddles, and the western saddle division TW Saddlery. David believes all horse perform better when their saddle fits, and he has dedicated his life to relieving back pain for horses though the use of his patented adjustable fit Specialized Saddles.

We often get questions about which saddle works best for shorter-backed horses, and here's what Stacy Tierman had to say about her experience:

"I had quite a few questions on the saddle I got him. This is from Specialized Saddles and I got the Ultralight model. These saddles are perfect for shorter-backed horses. It was a lesson learned to just buy what you want in the first place. 😉"

At just 9 pounds, the Specialized Saddles Ultralight combines an incredibly lightweight design with a comfortable padded seat, narrow twist, and our patented 3-D Adjustable Fit System, making it a favorite among trail and endurance riders alike.

Sometimes the best decision is the one you wanted from the start! ❤️

Lisa Schneider and her Rocky Mountain horse, Paco, in 2022 crossed the San Lorenzo River at the Fireworks Ride, riding in their Specialized Eurolight.

After struggling to find a saddle that fit Paco comfortably, especially on hills, Lisa made the switch to a Specialized Saddle—and the difference has been remarkable.

Since then, Paco has become more comfortable in his gait, built up his endurance, and successfully completed seven Limited Distance rides. As his fitness has improved and his back shape has changed, Lisa has been able to adjust her saddle along the way, helping keep Paco comfortable without the expense and downtime of replacing equipment.

In fact, she's been so pleased with the results that she purchased a second Specialized Saddle for her new four-year-old horse!

Thank you, Lisa, for sharing your journey with us!

Throwback Thursday all the way back to August 2004! ✨

At the 100-mile Arabian Nights ride, Tracy Webb and FLF Tof Corona put in an incredible performance, completing the ride in a blazing 8:25 ride time and earning a 4th place finish.

Moments like these are part of the foundation of Specialized Saddles—built by riders who were out there putting real miles under their horses and learning firsthand what both horse and rider need to stay comfortable over the long haul.

Over 20 years later, we're still driven by the same passion: helping horses and riders go the distance in comfort!

🏔️ Trail check complete! ✅

Tenney Blouin and her horse, Butters, recently headed out to check conditions on portions of the SoCo Endurance trail system and found beautiful scenery and plenty of clear miles ahead.

After a winter in Florida, Tenney is getting back into mountain-riding form in her Specialized Saddles Aussie Light. The Aussie-style poleys provide extra security and support on steep climbs and descents, helping riders stay balanced and confident when the terrain gets a little more challenging.

Here's to great trails, good horses, and another season of adventure!

Looking for a little more security in the saddle?
If so, the Specialized Saddles Aussie Ultralight and Aussie Light may be exactly what you're looking for!

Both models feature Australian-style poleys, a secure 5" cantle, and our patented 3-D Adjustable Fit System to help keep both horse and rider comfortable over the miles.

So what's the difference?
The Aussie Light features a comfortable padded seat with a traditional skirted design that covers the saddle bars for a more classic appearance. The Aussie Ultralight features a more minimalist, lightweight design with billets that wrap around the front and rear bars of the saddle, allowing for greater flexibility in girth placement. This can be especially beneficial for horses with either a far-forward or far-back girth groove, helping fine-tune saddle balance and stability.

At just 14–15.5 pounds, both models offer a lightweight alternative to heavier traditional saddles while providing the security many trail and endurance riders appreciate!

Which style do you prefer?

✨ Feel Good Friday ✨

How cool is this?
Jacqueline Bier recently shared:

"I love the lightweight Ultralight! It brings us safe to the Alpes and back every time!"

The Swiss Alps aren't exactly a casual afternoon trail ride. Steep climbs, long descents, and breathtaking miles demand a saddle that's comfortable, secure, and light enough to keep both horse and rider happy along the way!

Thank you, Jacqueline, for taking Specialized Saddles along on such incredible adventures. We'd say riding to the Alps and back is a pretty good test of a saddle!

Throwback Thursday all the way back to 2006 ✨

Owner David Kaden and FLF Amir out doing what they do best — covering miles in a Specialized Saddles Trailmaster!

Long before “lightweight endurance saddles” became a trend, the Trailmaster was already proving itself ride after ride with its lightweight build, all-day comfort, and patented adjustable fitting system designed to keep horses moving freely over the long haul.

Nearly 20 years later, these saddles are still built for the long ride!
