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.
