What is the diference between a good saddle and a bad one?

Well, leather quality for starters.\nA good-quality saddle is made by a good saddler from quality materials. It's balanced and durable. Sometimes it's something you have to feel. My favorite English-style saddlemaker is Stubben.\n\nA poor-quality saddle is likely made in India/Pakistan,\nout of cheaper leathers that are not as flexible or as durable.\n\nMind you, a good-quality saddle is not all you need- your saddle has to have a tree width that fits your horse and a seat width to fit the rider. The most expensive, well-built, famous-brand saddle in the land with a narrow tree and a 18 inch seat won't fit me and my little Arabian! If we try it it will pinch her withers, and I will be sliding around out of control!

Yes, there are MANY women-specific saddles on the market.  Don't make the mistake of "fatter is better" just because your keister hurts.\n\nSaddles should be purchased according to the width of your pelvic bones.  Men naturally have narrow pelvises, so we ride narrower seats.  Getting a seat that is too wide will only try to "wedge" your pelvis apart, making your butt and lower back ache.\n\nA lot of shops have a special "butt measurement" pad made by Specialized that you can use to determine your pelvic width, and then buy an appropriate saddle.  For example, my skinny rear fits fine on a 120mm saddle, whereas my wife feels better on a 145mm one.  Notice that the width difference is only about an inch between us, so a fatty spring & gel seat isn't necessary!\n\nI'm fond of any seat made by Terry, and WTB and Specialized also make great women-specific saddles.  They're not cheap, but you'll appreciate buying the right saddle after a few good rides on it.

The difference is simple, if it's processed it's bad.  If it grows in nature it's good.  ie) bad=white bread  good=veggies.

The correct method of measurement for an 'English' saddle is different from the method used for a 'Western' saddle.   We find that many US riders often specify their saddle size as smaller than really required. For example, a Western 15" saddle equates to a 17" English saddle.

There are hundreds of good brands out there. If you're new to the sport, really what you should shop for is a bike shop that you feel comfortable with, gives you good advice, and has a good selection of options.\n\nThere's really not much difference in quality or performance between most bikes at a given price range. The most important thing is that it fits you well.

Pros are the advantages or the positive qualities of something and the cons are the disdvantages or negative qualities.

Call a local tack shop. They can help you look for the brand name on the saddle and can probably help you determine a closer age to it. They can also give you an estimate on it or they can put in you contact with someone who can.

They are both good for losing weight. Maybe try walking one day and the next day riding,then walking then riding. It also helps if you have someone to do this with. HEY I'm willing to walk and ride with you but depending were you live we might have a long walk or ride, I'm in Illinois. I really need to lose weight to.

hmmm....I would say quality. I have had both, and bigger ain't always better, especially if the guy has no clue what to do with it.

saddle blocks are used on the area that would hit the saddle on a horse.

If you are sitting and doing barspins then there is your problem.\n\nMost stunts are done at a relatively low speed while standing on the pedals. The saddle is only used for balance.

Yes. What you're talking about is the adjustment of the MEDIAN (definition below). Because "good" and "bad" are relative ("good" is simply BETTER than what "isn't good") but "normal" is what is average, your expectation for what normal days are will rise when you experience a lot of good days. When you encounter what USED to be a "normal" day, it is now "not as good as the current normal day" and therefore bad. Confused? Good.
