Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

Let's see:

1) I started with an Australian.  A horse broke the tree.  I was green then, and so was the horse. 

2) Then I went to a second hand custom western, that did not fit any horse well. Sold that one.

3) Then to a Fred Hook endurance saddle by Montana Saddlery, second hand.  My wife did not like it.  I liked it, but my horse grew out of it.  That one is FOR SALE, if anyone is interested.  

4) I now use a Synergist that I bought for my horse, that seems to fit all the horses I ride.  
It took a bit of getting used to and it is heavier than I thought it would be, but my horse and I both seem to like it.  Four 50-mile rides in 9 weeks and no back problems.

I only used the Fred Hook and the Synergist for endurance.  Not too bad for five horses in about ten years, looking at others answers.
