[RC] Abetta Arabian saddles - sboyd1@xxxxxxxxxx

Hi Jan,
I'm currently using an Abetta Arabian saddle that I've had for several
years. I've used it on many horses. The horse I'm conditioning now is very
wide and so far(knock on wood!) the fit is excellent. I use Toklat coolback
pads with it. At first I didn't like it because I think the stirrups are
hung too far forward, especially if you are used to riding in an english
saddle. I added metal EZ ride stirrups and that has helped a lot. The seat
is also a little hard, so I added a full sheepskin cover, which I now say
is a MUST HAVE!!! Mine has held up great so far. I sure haven't treated it
all that well!! Its got a lot of miles on it, and the horse I'm riding now
is a bucking son of a gun and so far(again, knock on wood), no problems.
When I can afford a new saddle I'd like to go back to an english style, but
for now its working out great and the price was certainly right. Maybe I
just lucked out, but that's been my experience with it.
