[RC] Supportive endurance saddles for TRUE heavyweights - Connie Owens
Hi all,
I'm looking for opinions from heavyweight riders (true heavyweights without
tack) on endurance saddles that have worked out for them and their horse. I'm
considering getting/investing in a quality leather saddle that will fit me and
my horse. My budget I'm thinking is around $1,500 (maybe!). My horse
is a 14.2 stout Arab with a table top back and narrowish shoulders (from an
aerial view, from the wither to hip he is triangle shaped not rectangle).
And he is short backed too of course (which helps him pack me around
though) so that limits how long the saddle can be (not over 26"). Have
been looking at the Tucker endurance saddles, and I do like them. My present and
previous saddles have been treeless endurance and I think I'm at the point
where I want more support and stability. Right now I'm riding him in a Hilason
endurance treeless which he's very comfortable in. I'm not looking to do a lot
of 50's but mostly 25's (it's been a couple of years since my
last endurance ride, life happens you know ). Any info will be most
appreciated!
