RE: [RC] [RC] from western saddles to english - Lonnie Ruesch

Lori,

If it's working, why change at all. I don't have TONS of miles, but I started out in a little barrel saddle (actually hubbies) and now ride a western style Boz. Both horse and I were comfortable in both.

Allright I have to admit this about myself, for right now I'm a western rider, riding a paint horse, just doing the recreational trail riding. (only till next year hopefully, fingers tightly crossed!) Anyway, I've tried an english saddle one time, and a plantation flat saddle on a gaited horse years ago. Allright folks, I don't know how your staying in 'em! I felt like I was on a "beanie" on his back or riding a fence post! That being on flat ground in an arena. So what type of english saddle would you say a "deep seated western rider" type need to make a good transfer to for security. There is no way in one single spin or jump would I be able to stay on, nor would I be able to ride up/down a hill without holding on to their ears!!!
