saddle daydreamin'

I am soooooo tempted......

'accomodated my 17 hand Friesian"...... think it would fit a Haflinger? I have sent a request for a gullet measurement. I am pretty sure a 7" Aussie gullet would fit my Haffies. I use a standard 6" gullet Aussie on Thunder, who wears a FQHB Western saddle, and on Crystal, my petite little Haflinger.

I know better than to make a bid without being 100% committed but it doesn't mean I can't watch and droll ;)

I have been wanting to get a semi-customized Rideabout Aussie from Kate's, they do a wither tracing program and will fit the gullet of the saddle to accomodate a range of horses from extra wide to narrow. Probably worth the extra $300 to just get it done new from scratch and done right.

Oo I would love to someday get a Aussie saddle. I have rode in a friends and loved it so comfy. Hope it is the right size and you can get it.
