This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Unrau's daughter made me aware of Roy Yates - reining horse trainer - has a serious horsemanship school. I got some information about his western saddles. Described as "western dressage." NOt cheap - looks good. Anita - doesn't Sam have one? You can find his site on the Net - but it does not seem to be maintained. I sent an e-mail about buying his tape series and did not get anything back. Probably not really all that oriented to the NET. Out horsetraining, I bet.
