- S-traps are plumbing traps with a distinct “S” shape, and they are quite large. They are hard to miss because of their shape and size when compared to P-traps or U-traps. S-trap outlets are installed through the floor instead of the wall, and they are known for letting out bad smells.

The tree of the saddle is like its skeleton. It provides the primary structure and strength, and the rest of thesaddleis built around it. The Western saddle tree provides shape for the gullet, the forks, the horn, the swell, the bars, and the cantle. The shape of the tree is very visible and accessible in the final appearance of the saddle. This is...
The gullet and forks are the front part of the saddle. These are given shape by the tree. The forks extend downwards, over the shoulders of the horse, in an upside-down V-shape. The gullet is the round area of space at the top, that extends above the forks and creates a tunnel over the withers. The height and width of the gullet and forks are the m...
The swell is the high part in the front of the Western saddle. This area is the top side of the gullet, and rises in the shape of a bridge, around 4 inches in front of the groin of the rider. The swell is similar to the pommel area on an English saddle but much larger and also incorporates a horn, which protrudes vertically upward out of the swell....
The horn rises vertically from the swell. It is not designed to be a handle, as it might appear, but as a tool for roping cattle. Once a steer was lassoed, the rope would be wrapped around the horn of the saddle to aid the rider in holding on to it securely. The horn is also very useful for hanging other lengths of rope and tools from. Having ridde...
The bars of the saddle extend back from the forks of the tree, toward the tail of the horse. The bars are connected together in the front by the swell, and at the back by the cantle. They spread the weight evenly on either side of the spine of the horse, leaving space between them to prevent the spine from being directly pressurized. When the tree ...
The skirt of the saddle is a very large layer of thick leather. It is often decorated and sticks out from around the sides and back of the saddle. The skirt sits underneath the tree of the saddle, and prevents the bars of the saddle from coming into direct contact with the horse’s back through the saddle pad. This protects the horse’s back, spreads...
The cantle is the rise at the back of the saddle, that helps keep the rear of the rider comfortably in the seat. On the Western saddle, the cantle is part of the tree itself. A saddle that is well fitted to the rider should allow the rider’s behind to rest against the base of the cantle, but not to spill over the back.
Seat Rise
The seat rise is the sloping part of the seat, between the swell and the wider seat area. This part makes direct contact with the front of the groin area of the rider. On an English saddle, this area would be called the twist. The height and width of the seat rise affect the comfort of the rider a lot and should be fitted to the rider specifically if possible.
Seat
The seat is the wide area of the saddle, where the rider sits their rear. It can be hard, or padded and quite luxurious. This is one way that Western saddles are adapted to be comfortable for many long hours of riding. Western saddles come with a stated seat size. The size of the saddle seat pertains to the rider and does not affect the comfort of the horse. The size of the saddle seat indicates the measurement from the base of the horn on the swell, to the center of the top edge of the cantl...
Seat Jockey/Housing
The seat jockey, also called a housing, is a protective and decorative flap of leather. It extends outward from the edges of the seat, and over the top of the stirrup fender and large D-rings. The seat jockey acts as a barrier between the rider’s legs and all the rigging and stirrups on the side of the horse. Often, the jockeys are beautifully embossed with designs.
Front Rigging D-Rings
The front rigging D-rings are very large metal rings that are attached to the tree on each side of the saddle, usually directly below the pommel. These rings are for threading the latigoes through, in order to attach the cinch. They are extremely sturdy. The standard rigging set-up for the Western saddle is called “full-rigging”. In this setup, the front D-ring is directly below the pommel. There would also be a rear rigging D-ring for attaching a second cinch, which I will go into detail on...
Latigo
The latigoes are long, thick straps of leather with holes in, on either side of the saddle. Nowadays, latigoes can also be made of synthetic webbing. The latigo is threaded through the wide front rigging D-ring, which is attached to the saddle’s tree and is very sturdy. The latigo is the point at which the cinch is attached, which runs under the belly of the horse. The latigoes are the equivalent of the girth billets on the English saddle. But, they are longer, thicker, and more complex to le...
Cinch Strap
The cinch is the length of fabric that passes beneath the belly of the horse and attaches to the saddle on each side, at the latigoes. The purpose of the cinch is to keep the saddle on the horse. The cinch is equivalent to the girth on English saddles. But, it tends to be much wider, typically at the center point. This type of Western cinch is referred to as a roper cinch and it spreads the pressure, which may increase comfort. Western cinches are traditionally made from mohair, which is very...
Concho
Conchos are both highly functional and very decorative. They look like small metal rosettes with slits in them. Sometimes, they will have larger leather rosettes behind them. These act somewhat like a washer behind a bolt, to make the attachment flush and tight, and protect the surface beneath. Traditionally, saddle strings would be passed through the concho, through the saddle skirt and jockeys, around the bars of the saddle, and back through all the layers. Both ends of the strings would em...
Strings
The strings of the Western saddle have many uses and are highly functional, as well as decorative. The strings are usually made from narrow strips of leather. If secured traditionally through the conchos as above, they can take a lot of weight. Strings can be used to tie any supplies necessary to the saddle.
