What is a Saddle Seat Division?
A Saddle Seat Division is a division at a horse show which is dedicated to saddle seat riding, a style of riding which is derived from English-style riding. Saddle seat riders use tack and commands similar to those in English-style riding, but their riding style is slightly different, geared to showcase gaited horses specifically. Many people enjoy watching saddle seat competitions because even inexperienced people can enjoy the appearance of gaited horses in the ring.
