Hello Heather,
my name is Jason Hambling, I live very close to Spruce Meadows, near Calgary Alberta Canada. I am wanting to achieve a level of oneness with horses that you speak about in your book. My heart is very full in all that I hear you speak about. My heart tells me these's methods are very pleasing and correct. I am very green in the saddle, by no means an expert, just a very passionate lover of horses.
My wife is an up and coming training we have 8 horses at the moment, mostly warmblood thoroughbreds. I have never taken up riding in spite of being a groom for many years. But finally I have been blessed with the desire to become a true rider{one that put's the horses best interest first
always}.
I am struggling with many questions, but thank God your book has given me a guage with which to measure.
All this said, the main reason I am contacting you is to ask where I might buy one of your dressage saddles? I am 6 foot 3 inches tall , and am about 150 pounds, I understand I need a long flap, and a twist that is wide. My wife has ridden for many years, and her saddles have a narrow twist which is very uncomfortable for me. I have tried many other saddles, and most are also very uncomfortable. The only saddle I have found that is comfortable, is the Bates Isabell{very expensive double grain leather approx $3300 Canadian-about $1900 US}. This saddle helps me to sit correctly and is comfortable. I understand you Heather are the major reason why this saddle is what it is today{as far as the sitting position}. After learning more about you through newrider, and reading your book I would like nothing better than to have the honor of owning and learning to move as one with the horse in one of your saddles. I am very serious about learning to move with the horse properly, and I would like nothing more than to have you start me off properly on your equisimulator. However at this time I annot come to your stable to train.
Questions 1. Do you have a suitable school saddle you would part with? 2.Do you know where I could get a new one? 3. Based on my size and shape should the saddle be custom made?
Thank you in advance for your time, I am hoping you can guide me towards the right saddle, but believe me I will understand if you are limited at this time. Any gift of advise would be welcomed. You have already helped me so much by writing your book. Bless you for sharing the best this life has given you. I've heard it said that, "If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything"
Thank You for standing!
Sincerely, Jason Hambling.
