WANTED: Cheap/Free Tack (Bridles/Saddles/Bounce-Riser Pads)

CowGirlUp1833 · 09-26-2007, 10:39 AM

Hey everyone.

I have a pretty good sized riding school going. I just aquired 2 new horses, which brings my school "herd" up to 5. I'm in desperate need of additional tack as I don't have enough for all of them and when they are all in use I don't have tack for everyone!!

This is what I need:

*Pony sized english bridle....any color, any condition as long as its intact.

*2-3 Riser Pads

*Basic saddle pads, any color or condition as long as they are usable.

*Saddles - A/P or Dressage type- deep seat. Old but good quality as opposed to the "Ebay Special" types that will kill my horses backs. Don't care what condition as long as they are usable.

I might have a saddle to send you. It is an older Pariani which is quality but older. It is made for a rider with longer hip to knee legs...can't remember the exact size of the seat. Let me dig it out and see if it is even in decent condition. I haven't looked it in 2 years, lol!

I have a roma riser pad an one extra ulster leather dressage pad. and a small girth

Quick2Skip01 · 09-26-2007, 11:47 AM

we have a couple saddles- AP, I will ask my mom if she would be willing to sell them. They just sit in our tack room cause Im the only one that rides. I'll take pics later for u to see if u would like.

I have some pads that i dont use, but I like em too much... lol I got them off of Dover for $9.99 (the basic quilted pads)

I have a gray dressage pad that you can have for cost of shipping. It is in good shape for schooling, just not quite big enough for my 18" long flap dressage saddle. I also have a County dressage girth I'd let you have for $10. It's 24" but no elastic.

be_pretend · 09-26-2007, 08:09 PM

have an AP english saddle that I no longer need... it's a dark havana, sold to me as a 17", and that is what is stamped on the billet guard, but when I measured it it came out as a 16 1/2. Deep seat, fits a bit small, but not bad. Very comfortable and great quality (I took it to a few shows and did well)... just needs to finish being broken in. Crump Brand made with grained leather other than on the seat and knee rolls.

There is some wear where the stirrups leathers go, just where the grained leather has smoothed out. There is no discoloration other than a few rubs on the cantle that were there when I purchased the saddle and have not gotten worse. This saddle has been kept in a climate-controlled tack room and cleaned after every use. The billets are still very sound, with no rips or tears. Soft panels and a medium gullet. Fits like a regular, and fit every horse I put it on very well (until it came to my narrow-as-a-fence-post horse, of course, the one I bought it for!), and I had it on everything from a 12 hh pony to a 17 hh horse. There is a small nick on the underside of the gullet, about the size of my pinky nail (shown in pictures). Comes with three billets and billet guards, and slightly worn, schooling-quality leathers. No irons.

Click Links for Photos, they are too big:

I did drop it recently, and it hit a rock that scratched up the skirt a bit, but it's not noticeable, I just thought I would warn you. We're asking about 350 dollars plus shipping.

CowGirlUp1833 · 09-27-2007, 05:09 AM

For those of you who posted saddles but no prices, can you do so? Also, I'm not able to pay more then maybe $50.00. I'm serious, they don't have to be pretty AT ALL. These are used for beginners in our schooling program....or more advanced riders all have thier own tack...just need something for the little ones.

Thanks!

I'm really needing a pony bridle and riser pads!!!

Can you show me a pic of the roma riser? Is this different then a normal riser pad? Thanks!

Sorry, I had a heap of pony bridles and as we won't have ponies again I packaged them up last year and mailed them to someone with a pony.

I will rummage in the box, not sure what may be left.
