I hired for for me and Kat for a dressage saddle, gave her a budget of $800-$1200, and she found some really awesome options for me. I ended up spending $650 on a brand she highly recommended that I'd never heard of, and it fits me, it fits the mare, we're all happy. <br /><br />I haven't written about it, but I will. It was a super educational experience.

Trials are absolutely the best way to see if a saddle will work for you and your horse. Most places will let you have a free trial (you'll usually foot the bill for shipping) for a week or so. Private sellers are more difficult to negotiate a trial with, but it never hurts to ask! :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140631127593549541noreply@blogger.com
