Hay there!

I just got my sport saddle from Karen Chaton in March and want every one to
know that it is the best saddle in the world!

I got the schooling and training modle in purple suede ( Karen had to get
one too! :-)

as you can see by my alias the trick rider is because I was always falling
off ( never anything serious) my friends always wished they had a video
camera and we would win funniest home videos!

with the new sport saddle I haven't even come close to falling off, I feel
so secure and balanced and since my horse is impossible too fit this saddle
was a godsend, no more dry spots!
She is perfectly round!

Also a tip for the shiny spots on the suede, a tack shop that buys a lot of
used stuff the owner showed me how she cleans grungy shiny suede, sand
paper! fine sand paper and you just rub it on the suede. It gets shiny from
the ground in dirt and oils, and it looks brand new after you have sanded it.

I hope my saddle lasts forever but as soon as it wears out I will order a
new one!

I want to take my gorgeous roping show saddle and get it retrofitted like
the sport saddle, I guess I better hope I win the lotto!

If you're gonna ride...ride hard or stay home.

Happy Trails
