Since I stopped riding dressage, about 8 months ago, I have recently started lessons in Western. My posture has left town. I used to sit tall and correct, now my very patient instructor has to keep reminding me not to roll my shoulders in, etc. I feel like a slouch. Is this because I'm riding in a W...

Did any of your horses still experience occasional swelling of the area after healing?

Has anyone dealt with a suspensory injury involving the branches on a rear fetlock?
If so, what was your method of treatment and how long was your horse laid-up?

I'm hoping to be getting the right saddle soon.
Photo of pony from side so you all can see why she is hard to fit.
She is a 20 yo Saddlebred/TWH/Hanoverian.

17.5
I also wondered about the panels.

Thanks for the reply
My mare is so darn hard to fit for a saddle. I plan on having a fitter come out and help us find something that works, but that's a few weeks away.

Is the saddle in the attached photo too long for horse?

Generous 17.5 seat.

W 5.5-6" tree. Cut back pommel.

Does not fit my horse.

Kieffer USA says built approximately 1996.

Small crack on seat. Fading on rear panels underneath.

Has anyone heard of dressage saddles with the Bartos moniker made in Germany? I have Google'd myself to oblivion looking for anything about them. Fly by night company perhaps?

Niedersuss Symphonie Dressage Saddle 17.5 with a regular tree (28cm). Built in 1991 but has been well cared for. Tree is solid. Surface cracks on seat, but please consider its age. There is a small tear on the twist, and Gorilla tape keeps it protected. Cover on one of the stirrup bar latches is mis...

Has anyone had the stiffeners removed from their tall boots? Do we really need them if we are just schooling in the boots?

Rehashing this topic. It was a horrible year for all. Shows cancelled, etc and of course a lot of GMOs suffered. I have tried to support the one I was a member of over a time of 13 years. This year they had less than 40 members. I have volunteered in the past for them and did offer to volunteer for ...

Tired of only getting 1/2 season out of the ones I end up buying.

Are there ANY out there that don't fall apart after 2 months?

PM Sent.

Something for those of you who have recently lost a beloved horse. I understand the pain.

Where would you send a saddle to be sold on consignment?
Reputation and honesty is paramount.
Thanks.

Are GMOs on the decline?
I have noticed my local GMO hardly puts out a newsletter or any type of communication any longer.
There seems to be no activity at all except to round up membership.

I tried a single joint Baucher on her and she is much happier.

I need some advice. Mare has narrow jaw and normal palate but thick lips. Currently trying a 135mm Baucher with a bean. She likes it but it is about 1/4" too big. A 5" is too small and 5.5" is way too big. I'm also concerned with her narrow mouth that a 3 piece mouth is not going to w...

In other words what treat would you suggest as a reward during training, such as when mounting, when your horse hates sugar cubes and even peppermints.
I try cutting up carrots, which she loves, into small pieces but I was wondering if there were any other alternatives.

I had my surgery on 11/9. It was a lap (DaVinci) and was a complete hyst. I figure I should be released to ride by March, hopefully, if all heals according to plan. I was curious as to if anyone was very uncomfortable for the first few rides.

For those of you ladies who had hysterectomies, how long did it take you to be comfortable riding once the doctor gave the ok?

Do you still have the first one?

I know this horse is her "go to" horse when others needs something to ride. But she even admits she has too many and needs help with costs. I think she is too attached to let this particular horse go as she has tried to steer me toward a couple others but I am not interested in them becaus...

I inquired about leasing a horse from an acquaintance 3 months ago. The horse is a good fit for me. The owner said yes and that she would work on creating a contract. She also state if it works out for me then we can talk about a possible purchase. She gave me a date we could start the lease but she...

I inquired with L&R and they do not make these low cost saddles I see on Ebay.

The Imperial Flying Change budget saddle.
Thoughts on quality, etc?
Thanks.
