then i would suggest that you start over with some basic
groundwork...
Way to go ed, good solid advice,
no pontification.....! Now I need advice on a saddle for a shortbacked
horse with a big mutton wither. It is like riding the trash barrel like when I
was a kid! My 16" Fabtron arab-cut trail saddle is too long. The endurance
saddle I tried was almost as long, and not much better(big horn) any inexpensive
suggestions? I just can't afford a huge saddle expense. I have a dressage
saddle, but I do not want to use it for high miles, if you know what i mean, and
I don't want it rained on. Plus, my gear is all designed for western. (can't
give up the cushy sheepskin)
