After owning my ex polo pony for 6 months I've finally found someone to help me with a western saddle and fitting... I've been riding in her polo saddle and it's really not the most comfortable or the most safest of saddles..and I don't think it's done her back any favours either. I've vowed never to ride in it again...
I've tried barefoot arizona... sat too high on her back, but it was new so maybe it just needed breaking in.
Tried nevada, but didn't do homework properly and far too low on her withers...
Hired an autralian stock saddle... unfortunately it was wide... and didn't fit!!! Again, didn't do homework properly!!! But I must admit really like the stock saddles.. but not the dressage girth it did up with...
So, now i'm saddleless and don't think i'll be riding bareback anytime soon, but then again...maybe i'll have no option
I know a lot of people on her ride western so i'd really like some input on your western saddles and hopefullly i'll get the right one... I live in hope
