Well,
as a lot of you know, I quit western because I want to show English Pleasure (and crossrails once I move to W/T/C). SO, I sold my WP show set, my husband's new camo-print trail saddle set (it didn't fit my mare anyway...) and took the money to the bank, came home, and ordered my new saddle. This happened yesterday. I got an e-mail today that it was shipped from the tack store and will arrive TOMORROW!!! For free shipping, I was expecting it some time next week maybe...
Anywho, I decided, after talking to a bunch of English riders and my new trainer that I would get the Wintec 2000. I found it for a steal on the internet. Everyone seems to be asking the same price for it on the internet, but this tack store was throwing in the Wintec Girth, and the stirrup leathers and free shipping....
Here's a link to it (site won't let me upload a pic for some reason...) So, yeah, what do you think? It's synthetic and has an inter-changeable gullet system with it, which is great for my mare, she builds muscle like crazy after a month of cantering, but loses it like crazy if she gets two weeks off....lol.

This isn't the place I got it from or anything, mine was less expensive than that, and frankly a better deal, but anyway...I decided on this one because when I was at my local tack store, I sat in a bunch of english saddles and this one was miles above the rest, comfort wise I mean. It's like sitting on a tank! I fell in love with it and knew I was going to get one...*sigh*
