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.
What a great idea - I think it will really catch on.

The tradition is that it keeps the horse from seeing scarey stuff.
For me, that really places them in the role of traditional equipment. I

Traditionally they are used to keep the horse focused on his job and
