Specialized Saddles

Specialized Saddles Lightweight 3D Adjustable Fitting Saddles that allow for precise adjustments to match the three dimensions of a horse's back.

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.

Your Horse’s Back Isn’t the Same Horse All Year Long

Fitness changes. Weight changes. Muscle develops. Toplines change with age, conditioning, time off, and the miles you put in.

Your saddle fit needs to be able to change with them.

That’s one of the things we love most about the Specialized 3-D Adjustable Fit System. Instead of being locked into one fixed fit, you can make adjustments as your horse’s body changes—without replacing the entire saddle.

For endurance and trail horses especially, where conditioning can dramatically change the shape of the back throughout a season, that adjustability can make all the difference!

Fit the horse you’re riding today—not the horse you were riding six months ago.

Throwback Thursday!

Taking it back to 2017 with Marcelle Hughes and Oliver Swift, who had an incredible day at the Indian Springs Endurance Ride, finishing 1st in the 50-mile ride and earning Best Condition!

Marcelle and Oliver Swift tackled the miles in their Specialized Trailmaster, built to provide the adjustability, comfort, and security needed for long days on the trail. Finishing first is an accomplishment in itself, but pairing that win with Best Condition makes this one especially worth looking back on!

There’s nothing better than seeing a horse and rider loving their new saddle!

Brenda recently received a new Specialized Ultralight for her mare, and it’s already a hit. 💙

She customized her black Ultralight with a royal blue smooth flat seat, starry night edge tooling, engraved rope conchos, stainless steel hardware, and footman’s loops on both the cantle and pommel.

At approximately 9 lbs, the Ultralight combines an incredibly lightweight, close-contact design with our patented 3-D Adjustable Fit System—and Brenda’s custom blue accents made this one uniquely hers.

A special thank you to Specialized Saddles rep Heidi Helly for helping Brenda along the way. We hope you and your mare enjoy many happy miles in your new saddle, Brenda!

Congratulations to Ashley Cheng and Morning on another great ride together!

Ashley and Morning took on the 25-mile Limited Distance ride at Horseshoe Bend Boogie on August 15, finishing 3rd overall and earning some of their best vet scores yet. Even with a few challenges along the way, the pair had a fantastic ride and a great day out on the trail.

Ashley rides in her Specialized Saddles Ultralight, fitted by Specialized Saddles rep David Galentine. We love seeing this team continue to put in the miles together!

There’s nothing better than seeing a new saddle out on the trail doing exactly what it was built to do!

Specialized Saddles rider Tammy Rauch recently shared her story with us after completing her first endurance ride in her new Aussie Ultralight.

Tammy ordered a new Aussie Ultralight this year on our Standard tree—and their first endurance ride together was a success!

Tammy and her horse crossed the finish line 8th out of 18 entries in their first endurance ride in the new saddle!

Congratulations, Tammy! We’re so happy to see you both out on the trail, and we can’t wait to see where your Aussie Ultralight takes you next.

So, you know you want a Specialized Saddle… but you’re not quite sure where to begin?

A great first step is our At-Home Fit Kit!

Our Fit Kit allows us to get a clear picture of your horse’s back shape and determine which tree size is the best starting point for your horse. Using a flexible ruler, you’ll take tracings at the wither, middle, and loin and send those measurements back to us for our saddle fitter to review.

But the Fit Kit does more than help us choose the right tree size.

When you order your Specialized Saddle, we use your horse’s tracings to pre-shim your saddle specifically to the measurements you provided. That means your saddle arrives already set up with your horse’s individual shape in mind, giving you a much better starting point for achieving the correct fit.

And because every Specialized Saddle features our 3-D Adjustable Fit System, the fit can continue to be adjusted as your horse changes shape with conditioning, age, season, or workload.

Not sure where to begin? Begin with the Fit Kit. It takes the guesswork out of ordering and helps us build and set up your new Specialized Saddle for your horse from the very start.
