Re: [RC] [RC] Saddles and more - Chris Paus

I've had Wintec saddles and had a saddler add D-rings
to the saddle.  You also can get a sportpack for the
cantle or the pommel to put stuff in and those don't
need the d-rings and usually have water bottle holders
on them.
Also, for a couple of bucks are some neat gizmos that
add  d-rings to the front where your breast collar
would go. They slide over the stirrup bar and give you
an extra ring.

I would like to ad a bit of detail to that question
since I am thinking 
about saddle too.  I am currently looking into
Wintechs I am not sure about 
getting a dressage and adding rings to it, or just
getting an endurance.  
The horse I am planning to ride is gaited and I hear
that the dressage is 
better suited for the gaited horse.  I have heard
that endurance saddles are 
designed for standing in the stirrups alot?!?!?!

I am on a tight budget being a year out of college
and still paying off 
student debts.  So with that in mind I am looking
for something around $900 
or less - any suggestions?

Of course, all of this will come AFTER I buy a
trailer :-)

Has anyone got any good reasons why I should not buy
a 16' BP stock style 
trailer with a center divider????  I hate slant
loads and the big 
compartment in the stock trailer seems to soothe my
youngsters loading 
anxieties.
Can't afford LQ-Planning to tent camp

Cheers!

LOL!! IMHO, there is no best and worst in saddles.
It's such a subjective thing and so dependent on
how
it fits the horse and rider and what the rider
likes!

There are as many opinions on saddles as there are
riders! No two will agree completely.

 Hi, I am new to endurance riding( But I have
been
riding Race horses for 15 years). My question is
about endurance saddles, what is the best ,what
is
the worst? I have heard good things about the
Torsion and Wintec as well as the Bob Marshell.
Can
anyone tell about any of these saddles for the
good
or the bad. Any suggustions would be Great!
Thank
you!
