A gaited horse saddle is specially designed to fit the horse's unique gait and movement. The saddle is usually shorter in the skirts, has a higher cantle to provide more security in the seat, and has a deeper seat to fit the horse's longer stride. The tree is designed to be more flexible and may have additional padding or flocking to provide extra comfort. The stirrup bars are usually angled forward to allow the rider to maintain proper balance and position, and the saddle is typically lighter to not interfere with the horse's natural gait.
