RE: dressage saddle
This message is from: jern...@mosquitonet.com I have the Rembrandt OSX which is the larger seat and would fit both Laurie and OzI'll have to to think about whether I want to sell itbut that is what to look for on eBay. Mine is virtually new, It is (was?) too wide for Bjorken, but may fit him now...I will think about what I want to do..If you are interested. I think classic Saddlery has the same saddle under a different name.

RE: dressage saddle
This message is from: "Teressa" I bought a Schleese Wave last year to replace my wintec pro. It fits both of my fjord mares and my big gelding and is very comfortable. Most important, it puts my leg in a much better position than the wintec did. Schleese only sells direct (it is a Canadian firm) but they can be found used quite readily. Schleese also has used or demo saddles on consignment - mine was a demo. If you contact Schleese directly, they will ask for measurements and can recommend which model they think will work best for you. They also have saddle fitters that travel throughout north America so that the saddle can be refit for you and your horse - as your horse gets more muscled from moving up the levels, the saddle can be refit to stay comfy for him. I have heard a Grand Prix dressage rider say she had been disappointed in the Schleese's durability. But I haven't found an issue - of course, I don't put the hours in mine that she probably does. Me and my two mares are heading to Happ's this weekend for their first CDE. I'm not going to drive - I'd probably attempt a single - but the pair is way too much going on for my feeble mind...But the girls are fit as fiddles, finally all shed out, shined up and trimmed, and ready to rumble. Wish us luck.

RE: dressage saddle
This message is from: "plumg...@pon.net" First off...apologies for not trimming last time. I have since discovered that OS in the Rembrandt OS stands for ONE SIZE. So..in theory, mine should fit you if it does not work out for the person who is trying it. However, it may not fit your horse, as it appears not to be the widest tree. Here is the one on ebay that sold quickly. It was the medium wide tree, probably like mine. I do not know how they can call it a 19 inch saddle, if they are one size. Mine measures 16...so I do not know what is up with that. http://completed.shop.ebay.com/items/__rembrandt-os?MA2ShowItems&_trksid=p328 6.c0.m283&_rdc=1&_fln=1&LH_Complete=1&guest=1 Gail Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f
RE: dressage saddle
This message is from: "plumg...@pon.net" Hi Laurie, I have a dressage saddle that you would love...except it would not fit you. If you can find a wide tree Rembrandt OS dressage saddle with the wide knee blocks, I believe you would absolutely love it. I do not believe the Rembrandt OS is still made. I found this link that says Classic Saddlery took over Rembrandt and is now making the adjustable tree saddles. I do not know if they are at all like the Rembrandt. (If you find a Rembrandt OS, I do not think it says "OS" on them, which complicates things...but the older saddles often have a different, heavier leather.) OOPS. I am having trouble with secure sites right now. All of them say THE SECURITY CERTIFICATE HAS EXPIRED AND OFFER TO OVERRIDE THE SECURITY. SO..I CANNOT GET INTO E-BAY TO SHOW YOU THE REMBRANDT OS. SEARCH ON COMPLETED LISTINGS AND YOU WILL FIND IT. Here is one that would probably fit you, but is probably not wide enough for OZ. NOtice that it went after 20 bids. I kept a search on eBay for quite a while before a Rembrandt OS turned up. (Mine would probably not sell as well because it is smaller...and it is currently being sent off to for a try-out, so it is not available for sale right now anyway.) http://www.draftresource.com/Draft_Saddles.html --- Original Message --- >From: crystal...@aol.com[mailto:crystal...@aol.com] Sent: 6/16/2009 6:31:14 AM To : fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Cc : Subject : RE: dressage saddle This message is from: crystal...@aol.com i have been riding oz in a duett trail saddle as my english saddle. last night i had a lesson at another barn close to where i now live, and rode a school horse in a dressage saddle. the difference it made in my seat and posture was really quite amazing. so.i am looking now for a dressage saddle that might fit him. my trail saddle is a 34 - 19, i think. i am not locked into any particular brand, but if someone has one they are looking to sell i would be interested. then i would sell the trail one... or, if anyone has any suggestions about what they have found that works with their wide body ride. thanks laurie, and oz, who doesn't care what i put on him as long as we don't ride in itright now his feet seem to be ouchy again, so it's back to shoes for the summer ** An Excellent Credit Score is 750.

Smiling Fjords
This message is from: katesei...@aol.com I can honestly say I do not think I have ever seen Joe smile at me - smirk, grimace, pout, inquire, and laugh - but not any smiling. The mares are a different story... Perhaps I just need to spend even more time sitting and staring at my boy!! Kate with Joe, Della and Hanna In a message dated 6/16/2009 7:38:41 A.M.
