I tried so hard to make sure this saddle was the same as the one I tried out - I even called County with both serial numbers and made sure they hadn't changed trees (the saddles were made two years apart). I was so excited that I'd found a saddle that fit me and I like, and one that would work for him too, without spending a mint and waiting 4 months for a custom saddle. Too good to be true I guess. <br /><br />What makes this all totally crappy is that I CANNOT RIDE. Every time I use one of my Wintecs it just makes his back hurt. So I have this lovely new horse that I am dying to ride, and I can't. I've even tried bareback, and I have to tell you, that shark-fin wither is NOT fun to sit on!<br /><br />Bah humbug.jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307787824807151171.post-3840710645111498122009-06-26T06:29:56.678-05:002009-06-26T06:29:56.678-05:00So sorry, Jen!

I had to resell and ended up buying my Borne and I've been very happy. My SO has gone through six used saddles to end up with one custom-made jumping and one used dressage. Buying used saddles is harder than horses, sometimes.<br /><br />Another problem is that the same brand of saddle changes over time. So a County from 20 years ago fits differently than a County from five years ago.<br /><br />We'll keep an eye out for you if something comes up.Daunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051134715306832694noreply@blogger.com
