I get threatened with going back to an english saddle which to me is the same anyway except the stirrups higher.

I like to ride english because it is what I am used to... but I like it on trail because I can lay down on Bay's neck to duck under low-hanging stuff like that picture of my friend above. My friend Bob is glaring at me because I was taking him on such a trail where he had to duck. It's tough for a guy to lean forward in a western saddle ;~D

I didn't start riding till I was 32 years old. I didn't take lesson or have anyone to teach me. I just winged it. Made ALOT of mistakes and got hurt a few times. I have always rode western saddle. I sat in Jennys english saddle one time years ago and got right off. I was a pretty nervouse rider then anyway and there just didn't seem to be anything there to hang on to:)

Here lately tho, I've been getting real tempted to try her saddle again. (If I fit in it that is),Mainly I think it might be cooler for Rusty, not as much blanket and saddle.
