Horse Tack & Saddles

Tomorrow I’m going to try out a Collegiate Dignitary saddle from Dover Saddlery and I was wondering if I’m going to need to buy stirrup leathers and irons or if they come with the saddle that I’m going to test ride?

thanks!

If you’re getting it from Dover, I would find it unlikely that they’re going to send accessories with it. It will probably be just the saddle. You’ll need to provide your own leathers, irons, girth, and saddle pads. You’ll need those things for the saddle you buy anyway, so you might as well go ahead and get them. Or if you want to wait to match them to the saddle, see if someone has a pair of stirrups for you to borrow.

   it depends on the saddle. most come with stirrup leathers and irons, but it might not come with a girth
