So I have 100% caught the western bug! I have been having western lessons and riding in a cheap western saddle for about 6-8 months now and I love it.
it's now time for me to invest in a good quality western saddle that will fit me as well as my horse.
So my question is where do you all get your western saddles / tack from?
 
I bought a rubbish one cheap off eBay and a lovely one second hand off someone I met at a Parelli show. Now it doesn't fit my horse so I have looked into getting a saddler to sell it for me - they do exist but few and far between, and also cost a fair whack in commission. I shall be watching this thread to see if anyone knows a decent classifieds site for western.
My bit is myler and that came from eBay. My bridle is from the states which doesn't really help you but they look easy to buy online. I think the saddle is the main thing either finding a saddler near you on someone with a secondhand saddle willing to try it on your horse before selling which is what I did. Where are you?
 
I'm just outside Edinburgh :)
It's a nightmare finding good quality western tack.
Thank you Follysmum I will have a look
