English saddle sets

[iluvcreek4vr]

Anyone know where i can get an english saddle set? I have already looked on Craigslist and ebay and nothing there.

Also anyone know a good bit to use for english. Or should i get the same bit that i use for western? I am getting tired of switching the bit back and forth. I use a snaffle for western.

You could try country supply. They have a Kincade english set. Kincades are REALLY good saddles!!!!!

Sometimes you can find Wintec saddle packages online. Those are great saddles!

[Full of Flight]

Both saddles are really comfy 2!

Thanks for the help. Wintec seems to be what i am probably going to go for. They look nice enough for shows and good for just schooling him.

I wish i could remember the website that had the full saddle packages on it. They had all different kinds of packages and i found one i really liked too but unfortunally i cant remember it. :confused:

I think i found what i was looking for. What do you think of these saddle package?

they both look nice but the first one is pretty

[moodymare]

They are both very nice. But I prefer the second one...plus it has lots of ratings from people who are very happy with the set. :p

I will probably go for the second one since that is all purpose and it has more reviews. I am probably going to wait until i get paid next monday to order it.

How would you size that? I think its 2 sizes more than the western saddle. So i have a 15" western saddle so does that mean i get a 16" or 17" english saddle.

Since he has an arabian cross do you think a cob size bridle would be better for him than a full size?

Help please

Personally I like the secind one A LOT better!! :)

The second one looks like better quaility than the first.

[ForeverEquine]

Being a 15" western, you'll need a 17" English. Definitely don't go full size, they're generally huge! Gam had a good size head but the full size was much too large for him. I would definitely go with a cob.

I agree, I like the second package best. Good luck!

[Full of Flight]

Yeah, go for a cob cause When my friend ordered a saddle set online they sent her a cob but it fit her perfectly. Her horse a QH

[iluvcreek4vr]

ok thanks for everyones help. I think i will have to wait until they put a 17" on sale. They only have 16" meduim size saddle. I did have a 16" before but my friend kept that saddle. An 18" would be to big wouldnt it?

[bonnieluv]

yea i think 17 is a good size because i'm using a 17 now on english

[Full of Flight]

Mine is a 16.5 but it is a little big.

[iluvcreek4vr]

I used to own a 16" english saddle with a friend and it fit fine so im not sure what to do.

Is a white pad easy to clean? I dont know if i should get the white pad or navy.

[Full of Flight]

I would get a navy pad personally!!!! White fleece pad like you use in shows are pretty easy to keep clean, but i would recommend navy!! :)

[iluvcreek4vr]

ok that would look better with creeks coloring probably

[Full of Flight]

My palomino looks REALLY good in navy! And if Creek is a dun then he would look good in it! :)

[iluvcreek4vr]

Hes a buckskin most of the time but once he sheds out during the spring and summer he looks more like a dun.

[Full of Flight]

Then deffinatley navy! :) Post pics once you get it!

[iluvcreek4vr]

Yep i will!! I just got back from riding my friends horse in a 17 in saddle which is the same kind that im looking at and it was to big for me so im going to go for the 16 inch instead.
