Has anyone ridden in the new Sirius saddle by Passier?? It looks exactly like what I've been trying to find for my horse. There is a computer animation of a horse in this tree and it is what I have...

Anyone else paranoid about leaving their farm on Mischief Night? I always feel like i need to be home just in case some prankster decides it would be fun to_________(fill in the blank). My friends...

So, I think:

Edward Gal-County
Courtney King-Dye-County
Heike Kemmer-Schleese
Ashley Holzer-Luc Childeric
Steffan Peters-Custom Saddlery

I thought it would be interesting to find out what saddles big name riders/trainers ride in. I am interested in knowing who and what. I see saddle ads with endorsement by BNTs, but am not sure if...

I paid $9.00 at the local tack shop for a nice leather neck strap. Of course, you can go to the Parelli website and get a savvy string made of yachting rope for $17.00:D

What do you mean by french panels? Would these be the thin panels that are independent of the underneath flap? The saddle I am currently trying is a Toulouse jump saddle. The latex/wool combo is...

Still looking for a saddle for my young horse. I've tried saddles with latex panels and wool panels. She seems to like the close contact latex panels better. I am getting her an all purpose/jump...

Thanks to those who responded! I am particularly interested in the 300V adjustable tree. Has anyone tried one or seen one? It is supposed to be built on a 3000 kieffer tree. I need a wide gullet and...

I am on a saddle quest and am looking into Kieffers. They make an adjustable tree, the 3000 V which adjusts like the Lazer. I have heard that the trees on the Kieffers flex and allow the shoulders to...

Bump. One more time...:)

Bump!

I had a Prestige 10 years ago and loved it. Unfortunately, it did not fit my new horse so I sold it. I understand now that the tree sizes can be changed and am thinking of getting one for my young...

What brand and model do you all start your young horses in? How long do you ride them in that saddle and when do you transition them to another (if you do?). Thanks

I am thinking of purchasing a Heike Kemmer dressage saddle by Schleese. I can't find a used one, so people who have them must love them. I'd like feedback from people who have the HK. What do you...

Well, right now my horse is barefoot and getting back into work. My farrier is excellent, however I don't believe every farrier can shoe every horse. Every time I have shoes put on the horse his foot...

Does anyone have or know of a successful dressage horse who is also back at the knee? I'm not interested on opinions, just in hearing about those (if any) horses that have careers as dressage horses...

Has anyone out there purchased a facility with a group of friends/people/investors? A nice facility is for sale and a group of us are duscussing purchasing it together. Any insight appreciated.

Never Mind. I should have tapped my local equine community in the first place. Thank you to those who did give me constructive advice. I appreciate it! :) And, I will implement your ideas. Somehow...

Several of you have missed the point. I am familiar with the Parelli thing and don't wish to go that route. Nothing rude, just stating a fact. I love "Common Sense Horsemanship" and have read several...

No dig at Parelli. Not meant to offend, but I'm not interested in their techniques. Not anti-NH. I think Buck Brannaman, Mark Rashid, The Dorrances, etc. are great. The filly gets a low calorie...

I have a 3 year old (in May) who will be started this year. She is super smart and does not have a mean bone in her body. That said, she has no attention span whatsoever. Leading her in and out of...

I am local to the Chadds Ford/SE PA area and have an unstarted 3 year old WB that I want started this spring. Does anyone know if Hank starts youngsters and what his methods are? Feel free to PM me....
