Hi I am new to the forum and I am so excited
After 14 years without horses I have them back in my life again !!
In fact I bought my new horse gismo from this site - so a big thank you to horse and hound and the lady I bought him off
In the past I have hunted and showjumped but now as I am much older I decided I just want to have fun out hacking and I decided to go western instead of English
heres a photo of gismo in his new western tack

thank you both for your replies - we have some issues to work through but I am winning - I loved his look for carrying western tack and I know as I regain my confidence he will be my perfect hack
 
Very smart :) I hope he becomes every you want him to be and that you really enjoy your time with him.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I do not mean to offend, and I am sure you do this anyway, but do check those Chicago screws on his bridle regularly (at the bit) they have a sneaky habit of working themselves loose :( (Been there, done that :o )
 
lovely horse Maj! very smart indeed, i rode in a Barefoot western saddle for ages, i loved it, so secure and comfy. i wish you all the best with your lovely Gismo and welcome to the ' madhouse '

ps , my husbands family ALL have chihuahuas, yours look super cute and i'm going to guess that they are the other love of your life?!!

Gee I didn't know that at all - thank you so much for that info enfys - I will check them immediately as I want to ride some time tomorrow and if anyone out there has any more advice I welcome it as I don't know anything about western tack - I did take a wire coat hanger template to be sure I got the right fit for gismo and the lady from the western department chose saddles for me that were appropriate - that particular saddle is a reinsman reining saddle which I liked the fit of for me personally
