RE: [IceHorses] Sensation Hybrid "chameleon package"
>>> What a great idea - I think it will really catch on. Laree I think so...but for the record, I should probably clarify for anyone new on the list. It was only four years ago that I'd get so depressed, afraid that I had my ideal horse in Sina, but that I might not find ANY saddle to work for her. At that time, I probably would have been thrilled to have found ANY saddle that fit, even it had only been available in fuchsia/orange/chartreuse plaid! Now, thanks to treeless saddles, Sensations especially, not only do I have options in which saddles I can put on my horses, but - whoda thunkit - I can actually be picky about something as superficial as COLORS! Ah, how far we've come! This is a luxury I certainly didn't foresee just a few years ago. Many thanks for Judy, Robyn, my good friend and local saddle fitter, and all the folks who were investigating treeless saddles before I got desperate, and many thanks to Dana for her innovation with the Sensation design, and to Kaaren Jordan, for her creativity and good service... :) Karen Thomas, NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

>>> Then we went out on the trail. She rode her mellower Friesian and I rode a Fjord. I took my hybrid Sensation and tried it on the Fjord. It fit him great and Kim tried it and loved it. Sounds like fun - are these people pretty close to you? I've had three people in the past week take their first ride on an Icelandic horse here. I had my Sensation Hybrid on the horse for them. Everyone of them loved the horse I put them on, and loved the saddle. The first lady actually said, "I can't tell if I just love this horse, or if I love the saddle, or if I love them both." She likes color too and when I told her she could get the saddle in different colors or just have the seat in different colors, she was sold. I thought it would be cool with my chocolate and black saddle to have a purple seat and a turquoise seat to interchange! I think it's a great idea too - I think it was Kaaren Jordan who actually came up with this idea of making the seat, stirrup leather tubes, and grab strap tubes, so that you don't have to have any "color" on the basic saddle, but still have a good dash of color. So, if you get sick of a particular color, or if you want to use the saddle on a horse on a horse of a different color, you aren't stuck. Karen Thomas, NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [IceHorses] Sensation Hybrid "chameleon package"
Sounds like a cool idea! I went riding yesterday with a lady I met on the Fjord group. First we rode her Friesians in the coverall arena. I've never ridden a Friesian-man do they have a huge trot! I had to refresh my posting skills. It felt so weird compared to riding my little ponies. I didn't think they were that comfortable a ride, but boy are they beautiful. Then we went out on the trail. She rode her mellower Friesian and I rode a Fjord. I took my hybrid Sensation and tried it on the Fjord. It fit him great and Kim tried it and loved it. She likes color too and when I told her she could get the saddle in different colors or just have the seat in different colors, she was sold.
