I need help with western tack?
I've ridden english for 13+ years and am thinking about getting a western saddle for my horse. We were competitive jumpers, but now I mainly ride for pleasure. I know nothing about western tack, and was hoping someone who does could help me out. What would be a good all-around western saddle to get for my horse? He is a 15.2 hd QH, i believe my english saddle is a medium-wide with a 17" seat. Thanks!
I may be young but I have ridden western my whole life. Im fifteen and I ride western just about every way. I would reccomend a pleasure saddle. It's one of the heaviest saddles and I would go with a 3/4 tree on it (since it's a good size horse) and i recommend you get the saddle with all accesories (cinch strap, gurdle, breast strap, stirrups, a few riding pads/blankets) umm dont forget your bridle (I use a 2 piece twisted snaffle bit-my horse is old and it's gentle on her mouth, chin strap (keeps the bit from cutting their lips in the corners), and one piece braided flat rope reins-that is softest on your hands if you are riding for a long time, it wont blister them.) i'm glad you decided to go western! =) I have a good guy-friend from britain who rides english lol I always teased him about living in texas and riding english lol well I compete in barrel racing and cutting (rounding up cattle) and I also ride with my Cowboy Cross Church in trail rides and events so I know what I'm talking about.
