Ok, why....?!

[Sol]

...did I let the saddle fitter show me a Prestige D1 saddle today?!

And I had a sit in it......


And it was lovely....


Will now be buying lottery tickets for the next 2 weeks until he gets here to find out exactly what's going to fit the ginger beast, just incase!
Sometimes I do wish I had a cheaper hobby.... *sigh*

Anyone else fancy buying a lottery ticket too, with the promise that if any of us win we split the money?!

O dear o dear

Well least you have something new to dream about

Let me check my euro millions, if I got the 82 million I'll treat you to one.

 

[Sol]

Don't let too many people hear about that offer

I'm just praying that he comes and says that there is no way it will possibly fit.... because if it does, I don't know what I'll do!

 

[Echo Bravo]

Ho Hum! You could ask will he take monthly installments

 

[MrsMozart]

Good luck!

I have two pence and an old toffee to start off your collection

 

[Sol]

Yay! Maybe the saddle fitter is partial to a bit of old toffee?

 

[Sol]

Ho Hum! You could ask will he take monthly installments

£10 a month?? Will be paying for the rest of my life....

Worked out even if I only keep him another 6yrs, that's 'only' £466 ish per year .... right? Not too bad?


IT WILL NOT FIT. *crosses fingers*

I know how you feel.

At my local tack shop today I found a s/h Stuben jumping saddle that would be perfect for me and the fat lad.

Thank goodness it is too narrow for him

Hope the fat lad isn't going to go on a sudden diet neil . . .

 

[Sol]

hahaha, we should all go back to riding bareback! That is clearly the answer
Now why can't you compete in dressage bareback!? Hmph...

 

[rowy]

if you like it and it fits, could you try and find a second hand one? It would still be expensive but quite a bit less than the thousands they cost new.
I'm the same, im gonna buy my horse one next year and i have seen some lush ones (particularly devouxcoux!) and im like ooohh hoping to get a cheap second hand bates if it fits him.

 

[Sol]

I could, and it might be an option We'll just have to see!
Bates saddles seem to be selling quite cheap at the moment.... My other problem!!

NO amount of dieting would help.....luckily.
