OK, I will try not to whine too much, but I know you
ridecampers will understand.My new
saddle doesn’t fit me and looks like it doesn’t fit my horseLThe seat puts me in an abnormal angle
and gives me horrible back pain. And
to make sure it really didn’t fit, I rode for 2 + hours yesterday. Today I can barely walk.Life it too short for this!! (Translation,
I’m too old)
So, again, I ask for your help. I have a 14.1 hand, short backed Arab
mare.No withers, large shoulders
with a bad saddle attitude.She is
5 years old and has had several growth spurts.I used an Abetta for 6 months.She literally grew out of it.Tried a Sports Saddle, too long, rubbed
her loins.Latest is a Marciante,
does not fit me.I can not afford $2000
for a saddle and would prefer a western style saddle.Suggestions?
I live in northern San DiegoCounty and will
trailer to LA/Orange County for a fitting.What tack store has the most endurance saddles on hand?Thank you in advance for your help.I’ll go take more Advil and stop whining.
