Re: [RC] My New Barefoot Saddle - Zephyr Arabians------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Re: [RC] My New Barefoot Saddle Now, for my gripes. I bought the barefoot english leathers and had to = punch 4 more holes in them, and I am 5'7". Maybe I ride with a shorter = stirrup than they intend for a treeless saddle, who knows. LOL! At least you don't ride with children's leathers like I have been known to do. :) Also, I have (so far) not found a pack that I like with this saddle, it needs more gear rings. I use my Stowaway pommel pack and it's not perfect, but it works. I had to get a bit creative in what I hooked it to, but it's not too bad. :) Also, the saddle is so long down the sides that I have had = to locate a 20" girth. Not an easy task. Luckily Wintec makes one, but I = have to use a cover with it since the neoprene galls one of my mares. = Montana Cincha makes a mohair dressage girth that comes in short sizes. I had to buy one because I have one horse with neoprene problems (after years of no horses ever reacting to it). Anyway, Candy sells the mohair girth, I got a 20" or 22" from her at the PNER convention. ~Nicole * Zephyr Arabians & KattWmn Web Design * * http://www.zephyrarabians.com * * http://www.kattwmn.com * *Native Californian Newly Transplanted to the PNW* * * * You have the right to remain silent, anything * * you say can be misquoted and used against you. * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
