Why Do Trail Riding Saddles Have A Saddle Horn?
While not all trail saddles have a saddle horn, many of them do. Saddle horns are perhaps best known as a tool used by working cowboys or cowgirls to dally or tie a rope to. This is often done when roping livestock, but is also useful when ponying other horses or dragging items, such as brush.
Saddle horns can have other purposes, too. They’re a great place to hold onto during a ride or when mounting or dismounting. Maybe their handiest feature for trail riders is that a saddle horn is a great place to hang items to keep them within easy reach: Pommel saddle bags come to mind, as do some styles of cell phone cases.

Keep in mind, though, that not all saddle horns are the same. The saddle horn (and the saddle tree it’s connected to) on a roping saddle is designed to be extremely durable. The kind of durable that allows a rider to rope a large, fast-running bovine in rough country then dally to the horn to control it. That kind of use in a trail riding saddle would likely actually be abuse, and could cause serious harm to the horn or saddle, or even contribute to a serious wreck. Saddle horns can by handy for a variety of things, but they’re not all the same.
If the usefulness of a saddle horn isn’t a factor, some people simply prefer the look of a saddle with a horn versus one without.
