yet another saddle question...

Shotgun93 · 08-25-2005, 02:40 PM

I have a Silver Fox bridle, it's really cheap leather, not very good quality at all.

True. Silver Fox doesn't provide good quality tack... I wouldn't go with them. The second one you posted http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...goods&v=glance
It's an Argentinian saddle, I believe, and it's better quality than Silver Fox, but still not the greatest. It'd be a lot better for a starter/schooling saddle.

The second one she can get cheaper from Blistering Wind? If I'm not mistaken, it's $199 for her's, and only $179 through Amazon.

Nevermind...you edited your post. =) Null the above.

LoL yeah for some reason I thought it was cheaper, but I checked it again and I was mistaken. I almost bought that package but then decided not to. I got my new saddle in yesterday and I'm buying a stubben from a member here for $150

A stubben for $150? Wow, great deal!

It's pretty used, she said they bought it used and had it for 5 yrs.. but it's in decent condition and if I can't use it for some reason, my trainer can. It looks really good for being used for so long though. I'm waiting to see how much the S&H will be so I can send her the mulla ^.^ I'll have two saddles. A really nice synthetic, and a nice stubben
