[RC] Western Saddles and endurance - magnumsmomHi All,I'm hopefully about to embark on the trail with my new horse and his western saddle which appears to fit him fine. I've been riding for the last 15 years in one stubben endurance saddle or another. Let's just say he'd look very silly under an english saddle. I'll probably eventually buy an SR Enduro for him, or something similar, but we'll probably get started with the Crates that fits him and see how far we get. Questions for those of you who ride in western saddles... Do I have to stick with "western" breast collars or will an endurance breast collar work? Do I have to use a western cut pad or can I use an endurance cut pad? This is a Crates trail 400 with a very short rounded skirt... the skirt is 24 1/2 inches long. The pad would be an equipedic which is 28" long. The western equipedic is 30" long. The endurance cut pad appears to fit under the Crates saddle just fine. Here's the best one of all: Do you post? :) :) :) Thanks for your help! Please respond here or you can email me directly at magnumsmom at aol dot com. Thanks! - Kathy Myers in Santa Fe, NM
