Re: [RC] Little girl needs a sport saddle - Maggie Mieske
Kristi,
I saw these bareback saddles in Country Supply that might do the trick for
such a little girl. They look really interesting and I wouldn't mind
having one for myself. They look well padded and sturdier than some of
those that you see. I don't know as I don't have one yet! But they
sell for under $50. They have a fleece lining and use a standard western
cinch (not included, of course), adjustable stirrups, too. Has a D ring
for a crupper even. You might be able to see it at www.countrysupply.com or at least order
a catalog. It might be an affordable alternative until a saddle can be had
and a little safer than bareback. The deluxe model ($69.95) even comes
with rings for breastplates, etc. and has removeable saddle bags. I
remember thinking about April (it was April that rode bareback, wasn't it?) when
I saw this. :) Right up her alley!
