- Hi.
-
- I have Santa Claus convinced that I need a saddle for Christmas! I've been
- taking lessons for almost a year now and plan to start leasing this summer
- (when the car is paid for). I am trying to accumulate tack bit by bit (no
- pun intended) since I eventually intend to own my own horse. Hopefully
- this will lessen the financial shock to my husband (a.k.a. Santa).
-
- AAAAAnnyway... I think I may want to show eventually too. Everyone at
- the stable where I am taking lessons is very high on Ted Aldal saddles.
- I plan to buy something used and something suitable for showing if I decide
- to do so later on. Is this saddle the absolute ultimate or what? I know
- he must have some competition, but nobody talks about any other type of
- saddle at all. I plan to spend up to $800. Also, what does the size
- measurement refer to? My trainer says I should probably look for a 15 1/2.
-
- Thanks in advance for any help!
-
- Anne.
