cost of a saddle
NewRiderGirl22 - new saddles are never cheap ! I have sold one of my saddles (synthetic western) and have another for sale (dressage) to help pay for it. Neither of the other saddles would fit my broad little Appaloosa. And the horse I bought them for is 30 this year, so happy to just have one saddle.
If you could sell your existing saddle, it would help pay for a new one, but not the whole price. And if you are not having problems with your current saddle,.... then maybe you can wait and save the money ?
I wanted one like this because my horse (as far as I know) has never had an english saddle on. So I wanted one that would be comfortable for her and put me in the best balance possible. Then we should start right. There are days when I weight-lift her western saddle up that I really wish my HM would be here today ! Plus she loose jumps really nicely, so I could start doing some jumping... .
I gave in an rang yesterday to see if it was sent off yet - but they were all out at lunch so I still don't know. Fingers crossed .
