Western Saddles & Tack

Western Saddles and Tack

Recognized by an upright riding posture, longer stirrups and one hand on the reins, the Western riding discipline demands different equipment than its English-style counterpart. Find what you need for rodeos, roping, barrel racing and other classic Western styles with the tack and saddlery at Tractor Supply.

Be Equipped for Western-Style Riding

Western saddles feature a larger design with a deeper seat and higher pommel. They’re comfortable for riding for long periods and over uneven terrain, and you can provide extra cushioning with Western saddle pads. These pads are often contoured or have added thickness to be comfortable for longer rides. Depending on your riding plans, you may also need:

Saddle Blankets

Western saddle blankets offer a unique pattern reminiscent of Southwestern or Navajo styles. Made of soft wool, they help cushion the saddle and absorb sweat.

Reins

Western reins come in a split design that attaches to the D-ring on the saddle for increased leverage. They can be held in one hand to allow the other hand to be used for other tasks.

Halters and Leads

Help direct and control your horse with western halters and leads. Often made of durable materials such as nylon or leather, they may have ornate designs for a distinctive look.

Stirrups and Leathers

Enhance your stability during trail riding or roping with western stirrups and leathers. These stirrups feature a wider and larger design for more foot support.

Breast Collars

Stay safe when riding using western breast collars. This equipment is designed to stop the saddle from slipping backward, enhancing your safety on horseback.

Saddle Bags and Trail Accessories

Carry the items you need on the trail with western saddle bags and trail accessories. Available in different sizes and styles, you can carry canteens, ropes and other essentials without wearing a backpack.

Roping Equipment

Practice your lassoing skills with roping equipment, such as roping dummies. You’ll also find ropes and rope accessories such as holders to keep them secure.

Bareback Pads and Seat Cushions

If you’re planning to ride bareback or need extra comfort on your saddle, western bareback pads and seat cushions will come in handy. They offer more cushioning with less structure than a full saddle.

Tie-Downs and Nosebands

Another way to manage your horse’s movements is with western tie-downs and nosebands. They can be used in events such as barrel racing and roping for enhanced balance.

Martingales and Training Forks

Encourage your horse to keep its head down using western martingales and training forks. Leather and nylon constructions withstand wear and tear.

Cinches, Tie Straps and Off Billets

Ensure your saddle stays on properly with western cinches, tie straps and off billets. These devices help tighten and secure the saddle.

Hackamores, Side Pulls and Bosals

Hackamores, side pulls and bosals can help you train an unruly horse or improve communication. These devices come in one-size-fits-most designs or specific sizes.

Headstalls and Curb Chains

Help control your horse’s movements with western headstalls and curb chains. Headstalls aid communication, while curb chains help lessen pressure on the mouth for comfort.

Bits and Guards

Western bits and guards enhance a rider’s communication with their horse during training and competition for certain disciplines, such as rodeo and ranch work.
