[RC] Need Saddle Advice - Francis Golden
Hello, Ridecampers!
It's been a long long while since I've posted (years, even!) but I re-subbed about a month ago (lots of changes, I see??) and am looking forward to gleaning tons of information. I was hoping to get your input on a saddle for a mare I have. so here it goes:
She is an Egyptian Arabian with a wide back, well-sprung ribs and a short back. We are in the midst of starting her under saddle. I have her started in an Abetta Endurance, which I really don't like for riding her. The cordura is stuff and very uncomfortable. I also had a hornless Aussie saddle which is perfect for me with her --- but is too long for her short little back. The tail end of it is sitting on her kidneys --- not good! Actually, what I may do is go out sometime today and haul her in and take a digital of her with that Aussie and have you guys guide me from there. Think that would work best?
But, nonetheless, what I am looking for is this: something along the lines of the Aussie saddle that will fit this mare's back! She can be very scooty and I like the "locked in" feeling I get my my Aussie saddle when I'm on her. I also like the "English" feel to it, as I was brought up in huntseat saddles. Can someone please help guide me to some sources where I can get a saddle for her? Thanks!
