What I do before I go anywhere to ride is to take them to the local coffee shop. I have a cup of coffee and then I take them back home. Once I do that a few...

Hi Every one, I am hoping that some of you might be able to offer me some insight. I am doing research on saddles and am looking for as much information as I...
Hi Linda, If you like the Baretek, you might like a treeless dressage saddle. I bought a SBS Dressage saddle about 3 months ago - it's designed by Heather ...
... Heather ... Hi Elain, Thankyoufor this information. I will look into the SBS. I had an Ansur but sold it as I did not like the position it put me in. I...
Hi Linda, I did get a back saver pad that Heather sells on her site because one of my horses is a little bit atrophied along her spine. But that's the only...
... Dear Teresa, I'm writing this, not as someone who has done exactly what you are asking. I have taken horses out for their maiden voyage, alone, and in ...
Hi Linda Both my partner and I have had Heather Moffat Fhoenix saddles for about 2 years and we and our 4 legged friends are very happy with them. They...

Linda, Did I hear you say that you have a Bates Isabel? My husband Dave is a great saddle fitter. You can do a lot, fitting wise, with the Isabel. If it's...
Cindy, Thanks for the great post and the reminder that it really is ok if it takes us a few weeks to reach my goal. I've been spending some time with...

There is nothing wrong with CAIR or flock. One does need to be careful about the heat build-up from the plastic parts if you have a CAIR and ride long hours....
Hi all: For what it's worth, I have a Bates (Cair air panel & gullet system) Caprilli all purpose saddle for my 1800-lb. draft horse. It's set on the widest...
Hi Kathy, Have you looked at the Sensation treeless saddles: ( http://www.nickerssaddlery.com/index_002.htm )? I have a dressage model and a Hybrid, and love...

Someone here mentioned saddle models with the stirrup bars set back a bit. For those who have saddles with that design, what did you notice when you converted...
Heather's SBS has the farther back stirrup bars, as does the newer Fheonix. I didn't notice in a bad way, it feels totally right to me. The more forward...
... Well I didn't want to prejudice the responses I got. But I was wondering if stirrup bar placement was involved in the trouble I am having taking back my...
Mmm.. I can't really know that. How does it feel? Do you feel like your balance is being changed when you pick them up? If so, how? I think it depends upon...

I imagine that's how I would feel if the bars were too forward. I think video is a great idea, with and without, and maybe bareback too? Saddles can do the...
