Re: RC: Best Sports Saddle combination?

>I want to buy a 15" SS with a reiner front, 4" cantle with the cheyenne
roll and strirrups move back 1/2"(is it better to have the stirrups move
back1"?). I am also thinking of buying a quick cinch (biothane) to replace
the felt cinch who comes with it (but is it better to use a wool cinch?).
For the pad, I choose the skito pad but I don't know if it is better with
the 3/4" or 1" inserts. I also choose the E-Z ride stirrups but I don't
know if it would be better with the cage? What about the reins ? If I
choose the biothane reins with Rubber Grips which size should I choose (
5/8" or 3/4"). I will also buy a biothane bridle/halter and breast collar.

buy all those little things for me and my best buddy Metronum.


You'll need a crupper.  Also, if your horse has prominent withers, order
the SS made up peaked at the pommel.

Next time, I'll order my SS with the regular pommel and the standard (2")
cantle.  Dismounting is definitely more awkward than it was with my old
Crosby.
