Going from english to western. I'm still looking for western to english.I love waking up and looking out my bedroom window at my guys. It is a bit restrictive because I have to feed at appropriate times, but I love having them here. If I have to go out of town, there is a stable down the street that will board them for me at a daily rate.
I have my dressage arena all marked off out back. It is just grass but it doesn't cost me $450 a month per horse either! One of these days, I will add a real arena.
Keep going with the golf cart exercise for Tuffy. Maybe he will get skinny enough for that really nice bareback pad to fit around him!
State Line Tack's online catalog shows a girth extendor for english-style girths that adds up to 8". I also ran a search on Ebay and got several hits for auctions on the same type of product, leather girth extension. Look at item #7189286489. I have purchased tack from the vendor, Green River Tack, before and have been very pleased with the quality of the products.
You know what, State Line Tack has converters, I think, where you can convert the billets on an english saddle to western and vice versa. The pad I was using when you and I went riding together uses english girths, the new one is only set up for western. I prefer an english girth so I'm going to surf for a converter.
