Congrats, BMR!!!
That's quite an array of saddles ya got there.
So which one do you like the best and what's the new one
your son has coming?
Mantracker brought his own tack. He just rode our horse.
I have rode all three saddles. I'm using Tam's right now as my son out grew his and I don't like riding it so went to the Balanced ride. I like it but it could be a shade larger Still it's a great saddle. The Ortho-flex was mine .It was great on horses backs. Never sored up anything. My daughter had bought a new saddle but it was hurting her mare so I gave it to her. The Shimon has been good. Fit me and the horses I ride and I am looking forward to getting it back.
The kids both have new saddles coming. A friend took a course from Dale Moore at Belgrade two winters ago. She spent last winter back with him building saddle as he had no students. She built Britt's saddle we just haven't got it yet and Lanes saddle is being built by Dale's grandson .
Dale builds a Forward hung stirrup but i couldn't talk the kids into that option. I like the Forward/Balanced ride.
