 05:30:22 San| -HEE Click- but maybe you will like this - although it's only E bravery |
05:29:25 San| Lol, I feel you on that Sem! I need to borrow your grullo W boy, even though I don't even actively breed WBs (maybe I should start in bravery only) |
05:21:59 S҉ Sem| If I ever catch a WWW-W, I swear it will be a Buckskin Roan -.- And I will need three hundred rerolls to make him somewhat pretty and then he'll suck. |
05:14:14 S҉ Sem| *four week... two weeks if caught on Capture Day |
05:14:00 S҉ Sem| Flare, same here. Plus: usually it takes a PPP+ horse about 12 weeks to get to 3 bars in everything. Wild 2yo's therefore have a two week advantage. But main reason is to prepare for breeding. |
05:09:23 Jay's Ghost Personal reason for me is i can train & track training before they have their first foal
Helps me choose better matches for them |
05:06:07 Flare| i see some people mass wild catch 2 year olds instead of 3 year olds, why is that? |
04:53:38 S҉ Sem Oooh! *.* What is that for an adorable fluff, Celeste?

Hey yall, what's good.
Because I have a weird approximate knowledge of tack, I though I would put it to use.
(My knowledge on western tack is limited but I can sure try to help there, too)
My services regarding tack include
-advice -reccomendations -use tack websites/sellers -good looking stuff on a budget -what brands to use/not use -staining/rub off/various other issues -repairs (I've helped fix many a saddle/bridle/etc for people. my trade job knowledge comes in handy here) -also feel free to complain about stuff, like how crappy this saddle is that you got
Also more. Basically just ask me whatever and I should be able to help. I have a knowledge of tack far more extensive than it should be. I can help recommend saddle brands, boot brands, half pads, bridles, etc.
Just ask away, haha. ;)

Hey, hey! Got a couple questions for ya, to see if you happen to know!
1. My yearling will need some sort of boots at some point, as he does this weird overstepping thing and kicks the tendons attached to his cannon bone on his front legs with his back legs. He also steps on his own coronet/fetlock too. What kind of boots would you recommend? Also what brand? Would prefer inexpensive, as my feed bill is ridiculous right now... (trying to add weight they both lost)
2. I have a Stubben Siegfried English saddle I am wanting to sell. It is a little old and definitely used, but cleaned up, it is in great shape. Have any idea on roughly what to price it at? Would throw in the saddle bag, half pad, saddle pad, girth or two, stirrups, and nice Wintec adjustable stirrup leathers. |

1. I would definitely recommend some sort of hard shell open front boots for him. If he has a bad habit of kicking himself, he's going to need more protection on his fronts than regular brushing boots or polo wraps would allow for. A good, quality, but inexpensive brand of open front boots is the Horze ones (I'll link below). They're very good quality for the price, easy to clean, durable, come in many colors, and very protective of the back tendons. My trainer puts them on his half a million dollar show jumpers for schooling, if that makes you feel any more comfortable.

2. As for the saddle, do you know the year? Or have a guess of when. The prices seem to vary depending on how old they are. Also, are the panels in good condition, no cracking, and do they need to be reflocked? That can greatly affect the price.

Thank you! I will look into those. As for the saddle, no idea how old it is... It was bought used in 2013 if that helps at all... Panels in good condition, minor scratching but no cracking, do not need to be reflocked. |

Oh, I forgot to add, he may also need a pair of bell boots if he's overstepping onto his coronet. They'll just protect his hooves from getting hurt. I personally really like the Davis bell boots, they're easy to clean and have never come off while riding. The Horze bell boots are also pretty good, but a bit thicker.
I think a fair price for the saddle would be between 400-600$. If it's older, it's not worth as much as the newer ones, and probably not as in such a pristine condition. I would say 400$ for just the saddle, probably upwards of 500$ for all the stuff included. I would list it for 600$ first, and then if it doesn't sell, keep decreasing the price by 50$ until you get down to 400. I'm not too familiar with Siegfried saddles so I'm just going based on what I know. |

What would you suggest for a high quality dressage bridle with these things (yes I'm quite picky)
-No sparkles, crystals, or patent/shiny leather -Ear cut outs/anatomical fit -Sized to fit an Andalusian with a large head -Flash and Crank noseband
Also, what would you suggest for dressage reins? Rubber or leather lined doesn't matter to me, but they do need to have those lines on them (I don't know what they are called Im sorry)
Finally, what do you think about shoulder relief girths, especially the total saddle fit ones. She gets some girth galls and even the current girth cover isn't helping. However I don't know anyone that has one for quality/lasting info.
Thanks! |

What's your budget for the dressage bridle? I have several I like but some cost upwards of 200$ |

Hey, sorry, that was me. I'm Redwood, Galadrigal, and deadwood.
For future notice everyone, I might be posting on any of the three. It's still me, haha. |

I guess I don't really have a budget, Its a work in progress to save for it, and I like to have my options out on the table for me.

Sounds good! So let's starts with the bridle. There's many anatomical options out there, though some look far...weirder than others. You also have to make sure it's dressage legal. Personally, I really like the Schockemohle bridles. One of the horses I ride has one, and it's really smart looking and good quality. They're also a little cheaper than PS of Sweden bridles, which are the go-to anatomical bridles for anyone. There's also good options if you're not wanting to spend so much, which I totally get, because I like to work on a budget. I'll always recommend Horze products, because they're damn good quality for a much lower price than some other brands. I'll link some bridles below. (All have padded ears or ear cut outs, no patent, no bling) A (Schockemhle) https://www.dressageperformance.co.uk/products/schockemohle-stanford-anatomical-snaffle-bridle?variant=7351093231663&utm_campaign=gs-2018-08-07&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3KzdBRDWARIsAIJ8TMTW7wPFIUyUYVDYyTk4KJxrkE2GFPx4PURcHkhu0wtjTnDtGSg2SLoaAsrvEALw_wcB (Horze) https://www.horze.com/bridles/horze-venice-snaffle-bridle/10045.html?color=DBRhttps://www.horze.com/bridles/horze-rohan-snaffle-bridle/10013.html?color=BL%2FBL (PS of Sweden) https://www.psofsweden.com/en/bridle_retailers/paladin ---------------------- Onto the dressage reins! Pretty much every horse I've ever ridden at my stable has web rubber reins, so I'm going to recommend that. It seems like the norm, and they're very grippy. The leather is too slick, and I think the rubber could be a bit TOO grippy. Here's some cheap ones from Dover. (Though I bet you could find them cheaper on Horze or elsewhere haha) https://www.doversaddlery.com/suffolk-rubber-web-rein/p/X1-03044/ --------------------- And onto girths! I really just think it depends on your horse, and what he likes. Some horses really hate anatomical girths, and some love them. I don't generally use anatomical, (or rather extremely anatomical), because I've found they can sometimes make everything slip or move. Sometimes they've just been a bit slippy and uneven, and when they are, it's uncomfortable for you and the horse. I also believe less is more and there's a difference between anatomical girth versus those extreme off put ones, such as Total Saddle Fit. But they can also work miracles, so it's really just all down to what your horse likes. I'd recommend getting a slightly anatomical one at first, and see how he does. One like this. There's many other types, this is just a relatively cheap one I found. https://www.doversaddlery.com/ov-acugel-natrl-latex-dr-girth/p/X1-02066/
Sometimes girths can just get crazy. See what he likes before you decide. The super anatomical ones are also crazy expensive compared to others, so if you've already splurged on the bridle and reins, maybe just go with something a little cheaper but good quality.
Hope this helps!!
