This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi All,
I have decided that Gunthar needs to be a "Renaissance Fjord," i.e., have experience in many different horsey endeavors. So his next "educational project" is to learn how to be a pack horse. Anyone have recommendations for a nice wide, comfy pack saddle to look for? The packing video I rented showed pack saddles that looked like they would work only on fairly narrow animals. As an aside, it may pay to shop for Fjord tack at used tack shops. I bought him a Rembrandt, extra wide dressage saddle that fit very nicely. Might not fit a Fjord with no withers at all, but it is very nice on him, and the seat is extremely comfy. Have discovered that used tack shops often have trouble selling the biggest tack that fits the warmbloods. People who have Warmbloods seem to buy nice tack, including extra wide bits and saddles, but people who own Warmbloods appear not to frequent the used tack shops. My saddle was cheap, and bought a KK bit for less than half price. Gail Russell Forestville CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
