  • Re: Looking for a starter saddle

    I would worry less about a particular brand than one that (1) fits your horse and (2) fits you. Depending on your horse's conformation (guessing he's a QH?), some of the saddle brands might not be wide enough in the tree for him. You probably should look at some good used saddles in a wide or...

  • Re: English saddle advise

    No No No!!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!! BAAAAAD idea! Those beginner saddle packages are complete junk. The only plus about them is that they will fall apart on you in a few rides thus sparing you and your horse the pain it would otherwise put you through. They are made on extremely inferior trees that don't...
