    [RC] Endurance Saddles... E. Texas Endurance - Stewart, Carrie


    I have a stocky, short-backed Arabian gelding that I am just starting
    under saddle.  He is my future endurance mount.  I am worried that I
    will have a problem finding an endurance saddle that fits him and trying
    to not spend over $1500 (he was only $1200).  I am not looking for an
    English type saddle as I don't feel secure enough in one while jamming
    down the trail.  I also tend to ride a bit forward (you would think I
    would have learned to get past this seeing as I always get dumps on my
    face when I go off).  I am 5'3" and 130lbs. with long legs (this is not
    a date add).  Does anyone have any suggestions on a saddle that I should
    try?  I have ridden in an Abercrombie (similar to a Big Horn I think)
    before and liked it but it was a bit heavy and would probably be large
    for my current guy.  Oh, and while we are at it, is there anyone in East
    Texas looking for a riding buddy?  I sure would like to take my guy out
    on some trails with a horse and rider combo who is experienced.  I am
    willing to haul about an hour away for the opportunity. Thanks in
    advance.
