;Pommel or Pomnel (English)/ Swells (Western): the front, slightly raised area of the saddle.
;Cantle: the back of the saddle
;Stirrup: part of the saddle in which the rider's feet go, provides support and leverage to the rider.
;Leathers and Flaps (English) or Fenders (Western): The leather straps connecting the stirrups to the saddle tree and protecting the rider's legs from sweat.
;D-ring: a "D"-shaped ring on the front of a saddle, to which certain pieces of equipment (such as breastplates) can be attached.
