It's finally home - my stock saddle! It was meant to be a swinging fender but they ordered the wrong one so after four weeks of waiting I was going to have to wait again. However I reconsidered the fender as I decided that clip safety stirrups were more to my liking (and I'm becoming impatient!). So now I have a standard stock saddle that is very comfy for me and it comes with and interchangeable medium gullet so should be perfect for Teddy. If it isn't I can always just change the gullet instead of getting a different saddle (which was my problem the first time).
I was all geared up to get home and go for a ride but it started pissing down from the moment I got on the highway and hasn't let up until now. But now it's verging on darkness so I will have to wait for another day. I have waited this long so a little longer wont kill me.
I also picked up a relatively cheap bridle so I could have something until I get mine back from Sam's; plus they are always handy to have around and it matches the new saddle (black this time where everything else I have is brown).
I cant wait to start training Teddy and myself in the saddle. Yippee!
Very pretty saddle! I've custom ordered three saddles and the waiting was always the hardest part.
ReplyDeleteI love black tack but it's a bugger trying to find a black non-flash English bridle here in the States. Finally found one - paid a mint but it's beautiful and it fits my horse(s).
