Most modern saddles have a hard shell made from a moulded piece of plastic, such as nylon. Carbon fiber may also be used. [4] Leather saddles do not have a hard shell.
The saddle is held into place by the girth, a strap which goes under the belly of the horse. Together, the saddle and girth encircle the horse. Attached to the saddle are other parts of the harness such as rein terrets (above), tugs (to each side), a back strap and crupper (to the rear), and bearing reins or overcheck (to the front).
