Saddleseat Saddle
Saddle seat riders, is this typical?
I used to ride saddle seat when I was younger, before I really knew why I was doing what I was doing, other than the fact that I was being told to (if that makes sense, lol). I do remember, though, that when we would be schooling at home, we always schooled in a snaffle, and this kind of martingale http://images.auctionants.com/53-52.jpg Sometimes we used draw reins, but the horse I rode collected nicely, so I didn't usually have to. Very rarely would we use the full double bridle, unless it was the day before a show or something.
Is that typical when schooling saddleseat horses, or did my "trainer" just have an odd way of doing it?
As the others have said, not odd at all. I've ridden saddleseat my whole life, and rarely used a double bridle at home (except maybe a few days right before a show). All training/schooling gets done in a smooth snaffle or slow-twist snaffle depending on the horse, and either a martingale like the one you've shown or a German martingale.
