Hi all 16.1hh Irish draft x Mare 12 yrs old How do I wake up a plod in the school without using whip or spurs? She is so much leg work! And wont go 'on her own' at all. I dont have a lot of history on her but im sure she was used in a riding school. Ive tried putting her behind another...

Wow 8 yrs! Thats a good buy then. Do u have to replace pads or have any maintenance with them? xx

Hi there, Yes i have read that article recently. Very interesting! & the best argument against treed saddles by far. It helped me decide thats for sure. However, my budget wont reach Solution saddle prices, even second hand!!..so need the middle range. But yes, I see what your saying about...

Hi all, Ive decided to go treeless. Mainly for Hacking schooling etc. Something dead comfy. Any recommends & experiences?? Any types to avoid?? Are Torsions really worth their money? Thanks for your time xx
