Ive been thinking for a while now. Mum is very reluctant to buy another treeless saddle, she doesn't want to because she can use my Trekker! :rolleyes:
I want to be able to show Murphy in it, and his show saddle now has a big chunk out the back of it! :rolleyes:
So-ive put my SBS seatsaver on it and it looks more like a Freeform, but the stirrup rings show underneath it.
Im normally quite good at things like this- but have drawn a blank!
Anyone got any ideas?

Cover the stirrup rings in matching vinyl or leather? At least they won't be shiny and obvious :)

You out of ideas :eek: lol! :D
Does the seat saver fit on? What about the pommel or are you going to wear a large jacket so that it covers it up? :D

I know! I can't belive I can't think of anything! :D Thigh rolls are done by the way, finished them yesterday! :D
The satsaver does fit on, you have to tie it tho the D-rings tho, I dont want to chance it under the flaps because of the buckle, might, get some velcro on that tho.
Oh, and I take the seat off.

Show in it as it is and sod the snobs!! ;)
By the way we never had Thigh rolls as a kid so this must be a modern invention for the comfort of the rider and horse--surely this isn't allowed -its not "traditional"---lets all ride bareback :D
