I've had a few requests about 2009 sidesaddle calendars. Unfortunately, I simply have NOT had any time to put together a calendar worth buying. Hopefully...

Thank you for your gracious offer of hospitality. I will be staying on the PGEC grounds in my trailer, but there may be other ladies who still need...
Did I reply to you? Anyway my requirements for a dressage saddle are a deeper seat that does NOT allow the rider to move up and forward as for jumping, that...
