my new purchase.....

[Cahill]

hey,bought this last week.(its rained ever since)
have wanted one for yonks.
i have been reading anything i can lay my hands on.
who on here does this?
and any helpful advice?
i may be able to trade up to a better model another day but its not crap leather like some i have seen and smelt.

ps,my dog is a poser.

YAY! another cowgirl on HHO!!

Should I admit then that I bought an English saddle recently as I always wanted one!?

I can't figure out how to cinch mine either!

Cannot figure out how you all get them tight enough without that long leather strap to pull on

 

[Cahill]

i have oiled it since the photo and i think that if it doesn`t fit my pony i will keep it cos my daughter may get another horse when her youngest baby is older.
i want to change the bit to my 6`` snaffle for now,do i undo the screw thingies with a screwdriver?
thanks

 

[JadeWisc]

You should be able to take the bit off and change it without unscrewing anything but I cannot see how your bit is attached to that bridle so hard for me to say. I would imagine it is just buckeld or tied on?

english girth.when on or off the horse just hold it really near the buckle. i use the 1st and third strap.i always use a mounting block to get on.i have seen many saddles with twisted trees from constant use over the years of getting on from the ground.

 

[Cahill]

it`s these.....screw thingies.

 

[JadeWisc]

Well if you are able to screw them off then that is what I would do!. I have never had a bridle with that sort of rivet/screw.

have you tried to pull really hard to see if they pop apart like a snap ?

However it is attached it should be easy to change it out.

That dog just looks like it wants to chew on that saddle in the worst way! lol

i too have just brought a new western saddle (my bum got too big for my other one lol) ive got a bridle like that and yes i unscrew it with a screw driver, does get on my nerves though

[Cahill]

thanks.
can you buy a `one ear `browband on its own?

 

[JadeWisc]

I don't think so but have no idea what they sell over there.



I have only ever seen a "one eared headtsal"
