Re: New horse and Abetta Saddles

[Vchorsegal@aol.com]

Congrats on the new horse !  I have had a lot of good luck with the Abetta 
Saddles, especially the endurance ( hornless ).  That tree seems to fit a lot 
of horses of many breeds.  I have to recommend a natural pad or blanket as 
heat build up can occur.  The Natural fleece wool pads are nice, and they 
make one to fit that saddle.  They do slip a bit when they are new.  Also- I 
highly recommend the EZ rider stirrups for comfort and safety.  The "factory" 
stirrups just don't cut it.  Everyone who tries these saddles loves them, I 
wish I had bought stock in the company !  I prefer a more English saddle for 
Endurance, but this is great for posting, etc.  Also a great starter saddle 
if you're not sure how far you want to yet.  Happy Trails !!
p.s.  Your butt will not miss the Aussie !!
