Nice picture...nice looking horse... When we first purchased our Icelandics, I had been riding a big Appy mare in all the western stuff I could get my hands on, everything matched, and she looked great in almost any color. Well I was determined to ride Western with my new horses, english style saddles scarred me, what was I to hold on to if I needed something? I rode in what is called a bear trap seat, very secure feeling, the english saddle made me feel naked. So one day I put my big saddle on Sallys mare who is a short squat thing, very round, and no withers...so we take off, and she goes into a canter, it was so much fun I thought the saddle might just work,,,then, she made a turn and the saddle twisted under her with me on, and I fell off a total of about a foot to the ground, she stopped and nudged me with her nose, like what happened to you? We were having fun. I gave up at that point as I had tried so many saddles, sent many back....and I finally had to learn how to ride with my seat and feel secure that way. I am a better rider now, but I do miss all the western tack. Storme ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
