And you're right to avoid Argentine saddles. They are made on the ultra-cheap and fall apart if you look at them funny. There may be some good ones, but I've never met one, sorta like Gen. Crook and the "good Indians."
And to show off snapshots....
ecurbh cantered today for the first time! - First time was kindof an accident... I told him if he cued too hard he would get a canter, and he did!
I am pretty proud of my ecurbh, he's gonna be a good rider, and I am looking forward to getting him his own horse.
Tomorrow I wanna put my own saddle on, so I can reach the stirrups!
I took a series of funny pony pictures I'll post in a minute.
