Re: [RC] Paragon Saddle - opinions please? - Barbara McCrary

And the Campbell Paragon was a copy of the Crosby Marathon, of which I have
two.  They were nice saddles.

The Campbell Paragon was made in England for Whitman and was a nice saddle
with a huge bearing area. As far as I know they have not been made since
Whitman sold out 5 or 6 years ago.
  The Paragon was widely copied in India and still is. Regency is an

Indian

brand. Libby

Has anyone used a recently manufactured Paragon saddle?  I looked in the
archives,
but only found a couple for sale back in '96 - no comments about them.  I
see a
brand new one on Ebay and I think I like it.  It says it has a "wide tree
with a 5.5 inch
gullet" - how does that compare to an English saddle like a Stubben or
Wintec?  or,
where would I measure my stubben or wintec for comparison?

I googled for Paragon and Regency Paragon, but couldn't find out anything
about the
company.

Thanks,
Rosalie

If people would just think of the hoof as the foundation for the horse

like

a house foundation.  when your horse plants his foot down in the ground

and

pushes forward if the foot isn't 100% balanced your chances of injury go
up.

Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs
to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where
you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his
cool.
