Enjoying my new saddle |

I have had my Barefoot Barrydale Saddle for weeks now and it is conforming nicely to my shape. I moved the stirrup hanger forward about an inch to bring the thigh blocks into contact with my leg. I like the balance it puts me in. The cantle supports very well on our terrain, steep ups and downs. I put it to the test when i went out for a fast hack riding my big Irish mare and ponying our Akhal-teke gelding. They were feeling fresh in the cold and we did lots of fast long canters. Even with a bit of "monkey-business" the saddle stayed in the middle and I felt secure. My mare is feeling happy to do a big power trot so it must feel good on her shoulders. I like the fact that under my grandeur under pad, I used a liner, a thin cotton baby pad, it came away with a long dry centre strip around the wither gullet area.
We bought my partner a barely used Cherokee and he is enjoying it on his Akhal-teke gelding. Off to the desert we go in January to put some serious trail miles on.
