I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
Special thanks to everyone who posted on my western threads, especially 3equines who's help, time and patience has been beyond wonderful :D

Firstly, I had a great lesson with Billy today. We worked on flying changes over fences, and ended with a one stride double at about 1m :D:D He flew! :D So new jumping teacher is comming again ;)

Secondly, the saddle 3equines found for me: we just won the auction a few minutes ago!! :D We were SO so lucky (thank you God!) the bid before ours was £174 and we put in £175.55! :D:D:D So happy I could cry, finally our western dream is underway! Lets hope it fits, please,please let it fit! :D

More than ever before, I love you all BWFFers :D You've all be so supportive of everything we've done and tried, western or english and really without you I wouldn't be about to leap into the world of western so happily and readily! :D:D

Oh wow, that is awesome!!!! I remember when I won the auction for Dakota's saddle on ebay, I was so excited!:D :p I'm really happy for you, Rach!:) I can't wait to see pics of you and Billy riding western! I really wish I had an English saddle to try out on Beauty, wouldn't it be fun if I was learning English the same time you were starting western?:p hehe

I think you're going to like western, and I'm sure you and Billy will be great at it.:) You two make a wonderful team and are amazing at whatever you do.xD My fingers are crossed that the saddle fits!!!

JTM: Here is a link to a UK tack retailer that specializes in Western. The page shows some saddle pads, the Tuffy pads are great starter pads, you probably want a square skirt one. Their catalog menu is in a strange place, you have to look on the left margin and scroll down, there is a white dropbox that leads you to categories.

and here is odds and ends, like a latigo and off-billet should you need them:
