The saddle looks so good I don’t now about your mares past but you seem to be very careful about tacking her up with the new saddle, is this because of something in her past? Or is it just better safe than sorry? Anyway great that you’ve got your new saddle.<br />Regards<br />EdwardEdwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147322172866367128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-61446443650352030952011-06-10T07:16:12.971-07:002011-06-10T07:16:12.971-07:00Carolina ~ glad you made it through my WORDY-DRY!
...Carolina ~ glad you made it through my WORDY-DRY!<br /><br />Corinna!<br />Thanks for signing up to"lead/follow/share"!<br />Yes being an investigater/researcher IS one of the biggest parts of horse partnership (to me)! <br /><br /><br /><br />Keechy~ thanks for visiting!<br /><br />The re is a gal, who rides in STUUBEN'S Tristian s....she is on the web, forgot her name, but she really impressed me in a video-so did Carole at ANSUR-the shorter girths can really bother, hurt, our horses. It is a very sensitive area there, behind the elbow.<br /> When I do get a Dressage saddle (it'll be an ANSUR) my "special order" leatherwork will be billets that are made to rest the girth buckles, behind my knee! My mare LITERALLY is NOT "girthy" anymore! This entire time (save when I use my"THINLINE"bareback pad...the girth is shorter.) 10 month of riding on a bareback saddle with longer billets...no girthy attitude, I feel good about that.<br />See you later!allhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-2704553963938537302011-06-09T18:30:05.353-07:002011-06-09T18:30:05.353-07:00You are such a thoughtful owner. :)
I love the l...You are such a thoughtful owner. :)<br /><br />I love the longer girths too. I get so annoyed that new saddles are all set up for the dressage style girths and the holes don't even start till after the saddle flap ends. I don't see HOW it can be that having the bare straps on their sides there wouldn't be annoying, especially when we go to such trouble to have padded girths these days. What, they have no feelings on their sides? :PKeechyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508060247369251383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-47134138522931488282011-06-09T18:01:45.630-07:002011-06-09T18:01:45.630-07:00pps: I'm your newest subscriber on google feed...pps: I'm your newest subscriber on google feed, I'll be looking forward to your updates on the new tack!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04215573219695094014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-27699649653618324622011-06-09T18:01:06.331-07:002011-06-09T18:01:06.331-07:00congrats on the new saddle! very very exciting!

You betcha.. got the best tec in the world, will use it!<br /><br />TXTRIGGER~<br />Yea..those blocks are so out of there! They were too much lift of the front panel with added bulk. I am not jumping (much)<br />yet,to need that support for landing.<br /><br />Thanks Lori dear~it w a s l o n g awaited!<br /><br />Shirley~<br />That is the PLAN<br /><br />FUNDER~<br />YIIPPIEEE Ya hoowe..I am jazzed, thanks!<br />So much has gone into this decision...I am glad this saddle DOES HAVE A SUPER SUPPORTTIVE CORE<br />to it. Makes me feel good to know I am OFF her back and spine-unlike treeless saddles.<br /><br />Oou JUNUARY does NOT sound like my cup-o-tea! is this your first spring there?<br /><br />Jules~<br />I have to do it right by her, she is my HORSEY DAUGHTER! I may take a long time to hear somethings she says..but that is because i'm stupid human..but she has been patient and I do pray this choice will be healthy.<br />It is not even as much $$$ as the saddle I thought I was saving for, The"Saddle fit 4 life"one. But Carole(ANSUR CREATOR) tried that one and it still was WOOD-inflexible. She made it to Grand Prix level with her Bronze horse ( and he was like mine...all about telling the truth-should there be pain, and not sucking it up to please the demanding human.)<br /> ...so this saddle can move! <br />I have all assurances they will stand behind me in mmking sure=it is correct for us.<br /><br />Lytha~<br />The Gullet pillow~<br />It is for the JUMPING extra <br />cush support , I believe. I may be more padded(fat thighs) than you but, I never noticed the bump...but then, I have ONLY been out for less than 2 hours..it is a NEW saddle and I was warned by the saddle maker to take my time, making sure all is right. I Take it to the BEACH this weekend, and also next Will do the ultimate test of = MOUNTAIN RIDING..hills and such.<br /> I am going to put my SHEEPSKIN Seat cover on..for my bum..it does cover the twist line.<br /><br />Arlene~<br />Stirrups are weird for me again...I had to shorten them,like 2 notches from where Iwas last year..might be the mares belly is not filled with grass-like last year, not too much of it where I am-or-it could be that I am just wobbly yet!Yes...always the safety first!<br /><br />Shannon! YES..<br />Mee too..want less under t he leg and where the leathers slide into the flap tweaked when I stood in two point-up a hill to canter...rubbing my calf. SO>><br />I am INVESTIGATING "BATES" <br />Real Leather"WEBBERS" I cant put synthetic on this saddle!!KKhttp://allhorsestuff.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-92161959881035106292011-06-08T07:29:42.297-07:002011-06-08T07:29:42.297-07:00I sure wish I knew how to read sweat patterns, the...I sure wish I knew how to read sweat patterns, the only thing I can see is how her sweat shows the asymmetry that you mentioned. Very interesting.<br /><br />What kind of leathers are you using? I test rode using webbers and regular leathers and there was a HUGE difference. The bump from the regular leathers really bothered my thighs, so now I'm getting a pair of Wintec webbers for the new saddle.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-49943111764129527932011-06-08T06:24:46.983-07:002011-06-08T06:24:46.983-07:00So happy to hear and see you finally got your sadd...So happy to hear and see you finally got your saddle.

What do they refer to the pieces under their saddles, the shoulder blocks or something? Anyway, I've not seen a saddle leave areas down the sides like that more dry from sweat than the rest of the area under the flaps.
