I usually don't care, its their decision to ride what they want, but I did have one friend who's horse I didn't like because he was dangerous, rear, strike, spin, and when lunging he would run you...

I'm on the shorter side- about 5'3 and about 125lbs, with shorter legs. So in a perfect world the flaps on the Tekna would be a tad shorter- they hit me about 2 inches below my knee, but I haven't...

[QUOTE=arabiansrock;5443578] Sat in it and decided very quickly that it will not find a place in my tackroom. I found it to stretch my leg down much more than I am comfortable with, and it tipped...

I LOVE my tekna. Yes its synthetic, yes it cost $500, but it makes me feel like I'm riding like the cool girls with the expensive saddles. It makes my life so much easier because it puts me in the...

I LOVE my tekna dressage saddle! It makes me look like a real dressage rider! I have heard good things about the bridles but I don't love the look of the billets on my saddle-the only part I don't...

Snow horse's original post was about having two judges in one ring like the paint, or arabs do. My idea was holding two shows in one day, two rings, two judges, each counting as their own show.

I...

Then we have been arguing about two seperate things all along. LOL how very Chronicle of us. because this is what I have been talking about since my first post, way back on the first page, I...

If a club holds 2 shows on one day instead of 2 seperate shows, then yes it is cheaper for all people competing, not just us "point chasers". To ride 4 seperate tests in front of 2 judges (judge one...

I don't think that point chasing is as negative as its being made out to be. I'm not going to show my lame horse for a end of a year end ribbon, but if its such a bad thing to want a year end...

if one judge did both of my test 1 rides and one did all of my test 2 rides, I would only be getting one opinion on each test really. I'm not denying that I do want the points, so it is some about...

for me I work at least one weekend a month, try to clinic one weekend a month, have a family, and have other obligations that clog up summer weekends. So to do two shows in one weekend allows me to...

I'm probably not doing a good job of looking at the whole picture, because honestly the only thing that I do is local schooling shows. So I'm not sure how, or if the rules would apply for number of...

If I only have to drive to one show instead of two shows it does make travel cheaper. It cuts my gas and time in half, and if it is run in one day I do not have to pay for overnight stabling or a...

I think that the idea is that it would be cheaper as far as travel money, travel time, stabling ect.

For me it is sort of about point chasing, I know its just a local club but I really want to...

I had been thinking about this for the local schooling shows, but slightly different. Most of the people only do up to 1st level with a few 2nd level tests, so I was thinking in the am 1 judge could...

luckily I live with my farrier, but I will agree that probably his #1 pet peeve is when customers shop around, and then call him to come back and fix their horses after the new farrier lames them up....

saddle club books were the best growing up!

I have a friend who's horse is Flash that Naked Body "naked" for a barn name. One winter they also had Skeeter and Shameless in the barn. Her husband signed the xmas cards Shameless, Naked,...

Its only been a few weeks, but yep I still love it, and so does my mare. I haven't invested in a new girth or leathers yet- those will come after the holidays, so I can't comment on those yet!

I'm not sure about seat size/tree size, but I got mine from http://www.cheshirehorse.com, the NH store. The woman who I spoke to (and I can't remember her name!) was really knowlegeble about the...

So between weather and work, last night was my second ride in the Tekna saddle. I still love it (sort of). I love that it puts me exactly where I'm supposed to be without fighting. It stretches my...

I did it just as a novelty thing, and was very suprised! over the phone, no picture, just brief description of horse and it was amazing. She said a bunch of stuff, but 3 things that really got me...

I have no problem enabling! probably if there were a Betty Ford for saddle addiction my SO would have me commited!

I got it from The Cheshire Horse, out of their NH store, but the Saratoga Springs...

I've always belived that I should be able to ride correctly in whatever saddle I have, so I've struggled and struggled trying to stretch my thigh down in my saddle that I have and really stretch up. ...

I just got the dressage saddle on trial from The Cheshire Horse, what a great people, and what a great saddle! I just got it yesterday and have only ridden in it once, but wow. I didn't realize how...
