Also as a result of this ride, Liberty Run, my hubby is hooked on
endurance and I had to listen to him for 9 1/2 hours driving home going on
about what he was going to do at the next ride, etc.....we all do it after
every ride, right?? .........NOW I need to help him get a new saddle for
his horse ASAP! The western saddle he used this weekend slipped really
badly, and because of the horse's changing shape that has occurred as we
ride him more and more is not fitting at all now----starting to touch the
top/ridge of the withers, that should tell you how desperate I
am.........so we ARE looking for an endurance saddle for a 6'2" man of
210lbs that will fit a tall narrow high withered horse.
As funds are not unlimited(he also HAS to have a helmet, needs one
pair of breeches(yes, he said he would wear them if I would get him some!
:)).....you know the list, trying to determine what you must have and
"want".........anyhow a helmet and saddle fall into the "NEED" category as
far as I am concerned. We are looking for used and some worn(Rob doesn't
care about "pretty"!). I kept trying to get him to go look at the saddles
other riders used at the ride this weekend, but he wasn't into "trying"
them Sat. afternoon after he was DONE riding.....so I am trying to help him
out. He is interested in something like the Marciete(sp?), Zes, etc. that
is more endurance/western than english. And he did like the look of the
Big Horn endurance saddle when he saw one, and it looks like plenty of
people are using them. We would really like to find a good saddle
used........but getting one for someone so large might be a problem. I am
checking the classified list on Endurance Net, but if any of you know of a
saddle sitting around that fits that description, that is for someone good
sized (6'2" and 210lbs) or have a suggestion.....please let me
know----privately off the list. Thanks.
