Selling the saddle


Well I guess Ive decided to sell the western saddle. Lucas doesnt like it, and its never fit him propperly (the only horse it doesnt fit) I've got some attachement to it though, I bought it when I was still training full time and Ive held onto it even when I thought that showing halter horses would be all I would be able to do.

Now however, Im not sure what to do. Do I buy another training (western) saddle? Do I just give in and buy a dressage saddle? I have to admit I do find riding easer in the english saddles, not as much support but less leather to fight against. It might even be easer to warm up in a dressage saddle then move to my Close contact for the shows instead of trying to warm up in my western then move to the CC...

And if were thinking about showing dressage in any shape or form in the next couple of years......
