I think I said that I've ordered another Sensation Hybrid. I've been working with Kaaren Jordan (www.kaarenjordan.com) on placing this order, because I wanted something a little more exciting than a plain ole black saddle...but on the other hand, black is so versatile and looks good on all horses. What Kaaren and Dana have come up with is something that I think Dana will reproduce - Kaaren has called it the "chameleon package." Basically it's a solid color saddle - mine will be a black Hybrid. However, she will make me an extra detachable seat, black with piping trim in colored leather. She will also make the "stirrup tubes" to match the colored piping, as well as making a colored leather tube to cover the grab strap/handle. So, I get some color on my saddle, but I'm not locked in if I want to change it back to all black. The really cool thing is that this can be added to a saddle you already have, since the seats are interchangeable, so you can buy the "chameleon package" to interchange with your existing saddle seat. I think she can do this for any of the styles - dressage, trail or hybrid, and I think you can have her make the seat all in colored leather - Kaaren can provide the details. I've also ordered a Harmony Bridle to complete the set, which will be black beta biothane, trimmed in the colored leather.
Now, all I have to do is pick my color...but I'm working on it. :) Karen Thomas, NC
