I have even thought of trading in my trail saddle for one, but having a really hard time giving up my trail saddle!

The ones I bought have built in inserts for that spot behind the shoulder.<br />Both my boys seem wide (heck of course they do after all those years riding my slim TB mare! lol) But they aren't truly that wide, they both have a dip behind the shoulder blades.<br /> At the clinic I asked Ed about saddle fit and he used Voodoo as a model. My saddle fit okay but not great. Put on one of the pads with the inserts and holy smoke did it make a difference!<br /><br />Oh and good news! I was worried that my Billy Cook wasn't fitting Applejack that well. Had a lady come out to do chiro & massage on him. She's pretty sure his saddle fit is good :)cdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-13088147530243152752011-01-11T21:29:25.766-07:002011-01-11T21:29:25.766-07:00How do you have so much energy girl?!

I believe they are guaranteed for 2000 hours and come with a little cleaning tool.<br /><br />LOL-There is going to be a lot of 'ponying' going on this year. That means I only have to put conditioning hours on 2 for the time of 1 and then a bit of training time. <br /><br />C-ing-Yes, but it was a little hard to tell. The leather was really stiff since it has been cold here lately and the saddle has been in the trailer...and it definitely needs a good oiling to soften the fenders so they can flex enough to let the bars sit down.<br /><br />The easiest way to tell with Moon is to cinch him up and ride a saddle without a breast collar. This horse pushes saddles back like no other I have ever owned. It's the way his shoulder blades lay, as he is not a wide bodied horse. Sue Smith also noted that he falls away rather abruptly behind his shoulder blade so it's possible that I may need to have a pad built for him rather than a saddle. I thank goodness Moon is the only one like this I have. He has been a pain in the butt his whole life. He's lucky he's talented or the cons may have outweighted the pros.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-84418662041483842782011-01-11T16:09:24.924-07:002011-01-11T16:09:24.924-07:00And in reading thru the last few posts- have you c...And in reading thru the last few posts- have you checked out the 5star pads?

Yeah, I know, once you get them going, they don't take much to maintain the momentum, but still!<br /><br />Since he got his nuts cut off, I have been working with Mondo and getting him brought up to speed where he should be. He's going to make a helluva nice hunter pony, may do a few lower level dressage tests and if nothing else, by the time the girls are ready and he has racked up some mileage- he's going to be an Awesome little all around horse for them. <br /><br />Somewhere in the middle of all of this, I will be getting the big mare under saddle- got a bridle and a bit that fits, and ordered a girth the other day... Kat man will also be logging the miles in harness and I am hoping to have him ready for the upcoming spring shows. <br /><br />It's good to plan and in some cases dream, right?Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603347619547454296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-86978527924846686562011-01-11T15:57:34.942-07:002011-01-11T15:57:34.942-07:00I like that saddle, especially the deep seat.
