I've appreciated all the talk about saddles I've read and would like to
ask if anyone has any recommendation. I'm 5'11", 172lbs with a 15.1 hds
3.5 yr old arab gelding. We're both pretty green and will be in lessons
together. I mean to say I've ridden and he has been with a trainer for
10 months but we're far from experts.

Are there any special considerations? Any styles better than others?
Would a cheaper saddle at this stage to just as well or ...? I have
been thinking of a more expensive used saddle for less. Any thoughts on
a way to approach this.

Thanks,

Dan Hofford
