I totally forgot to tell you that the Mackinder saddles now come in Poley (that means that they have the leg roll things that most stock saddles have). I was at an endurance ride yesterday and saw heaps of the new Poley style Mackinder saddles, and got some really good feedback on them too. <br />They have a flexible tree so you don't need a seat-saver or padding on the seat, as they are pretty comfy (stock saddles are so hard!). Plus I've never had my horse get a sore back with this saddle!OneHindRestinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497414168847697496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-4304885382889326382012-10-05T05:26:33.474-07:002012-10-05T05:26:33.474-07:00Hey, not wanting to confuse the matter, but just w...Hey, not wanting to confuse the matter, but just wanting to give you some options for the future, as far as saddles go...<br /><br />If you want an 'Aussie' saddle (what we call a stock saddle) or one of it's variations (stock with fenders, or half-breed which is like a hybrid between western and stock), for security but want more flexibility with wither clearance, you could consider a Bates or Wintec (Australian made, Bates is leather, Wintec is synthetic). They come with a changeable gullet so you can adjust that as her condition changes. They aren't cheap, but the synthetic ones are good and you can get reasonable second-hand ones (well, here at least).<br />http://www.wintec.net.au/products/stock/stockPro.html<br /><br />If you really like the dressage position in that style of saddle, the Ammo saddle has a nice position, not sure about wither clearance though...<br />http://www.saddleworld.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=173&Itemid=203<br /><br />(I ride in a Mackinder endurance saddle which fits most arab types but can be custom-built too. http://www.mackinderendurance.com/)<br /><br />Hope that information helped, and wasn't too confusing!
