Anyways, since we've been able to convince her to not get out of horses and to stick to her guns with her mare, and not sell everything she owns - she needs our help
She is saddleless. She was using her previous Trainers saddle, but after everything that happened, she's S.O.L with that. She cannot afford to buy a saddle - So I thought maybe someone on here, has one laying around that is going unused, to help her out?
She needs a Medium/Wide english saddle - whether it be an A/P, Dressage or Jumping, with a 17.5" seat.
I am kicking myself for selling my Wintec A/P, because I'd of given her that - but I don't have it anymore.
WOW, Kim. Thank you so much for helping me. I'm not looking for a freebie, but if someone has something that would work, I'd be interested in "free loaning" it until I have the money to either buy it from you or return it when I find another. I also don't have any leathers, irons, or girth, as all of that stuff is gone too. Any help is much appreciated, I may be able to trade or partial trade some of my extra stuff to help out. Thank you everyone here. I love you all.
Hey Wendy I am sorry for all this that has happened glad you are sticking to horses and if I can find anything that would help I will find the money to send it too you
great! i know i live in the UK but i have a wide fit english saddle!
i bought an over-weight horse and the saddle that came with him didnt fit. this one is a temporary one untill he loses weight and he really is getting there. i only payed £100 for it ($154). it really is wide though, black, leather. the lady i bought it from used it on a cob sec d. will have to measure it. let me know if your interested x
i also have a load of different sized girths as he has been losing the weight.
i have some pictures, the only thing is i dont know when my horse will be ready for his other saddle. i have two saddles lol. have a look at them, which one?
the leather one is the wide fit (note has very small seat, im a bit of a midge)
synthetic one- the saddle that i bought with my horse, could be fitted to any horse as long and the seat suits you.
Wow everyone. You are all so amazing. Speedy, thank you so much. I'm only concerned about the small seat. I've got a large tush, and would probably spill out in all directions, haha. I'm just amazed at the kindness displayed by everyone here. I wish I could meet you all in person.
I do have a 16" Lancer's AP saddle with no fittings on consignment at the local tack shop. It hasn't sold, but if someone would take that as a trade on a 17.5", I would be more than happy to do that. It's a medium/wide tree with knee rolls in dark havana brown, in very good shape. It's waaay too small for me, and pitches me forward, which, with my major balance issues, is a disaster waiting to happen. It doesn't fit my horse very well either.
I have a 52" leather girth, it's in practically new condition but it's brown is that ok? I would be more than happy to send you that. Also have a spare bridle if you need it. No bit and it's a cheap brand but if you want it it's yours.
Wow Jumping! That would be absolutely amazing. You would seriously do that? I'm sitting here crying right now. It's so nice to know that there are good people out there that care. Is there anything i could offer you in trade????
I don't have a spare saddle, but I have indian hackamore (new) and leather sidepull (used one though). Not sure if you are interested, but if you are let me know.
im so glad your continueing riding!
if i have ANYTHING at all i could send you i would!
its amazing how people help eachother out so much! i was smiling the whole time i read this threead.
sorry i cant help
best wishes to you! and i hope everything works out!
MIEventer, shipping would be expensive. Its $49 roughly to ship a saddle in Australia, and I did a rough calculation on Australia Post and I think it would be up $150 to ship over there depending on the weight of the saddle.
I have an english bridle with a 5" snaffle bit and some english reins. I don't know what size the bridle is but I would be more than happy to send it to you, I don't have a use for it. I have also got a decent quality english girth that you could have. I have a saddle but it is one of those really cheapies and I have no idea what kind of tree is in it, but I think that the seat is 17". I would also be willing to send that if you would want it. I have an extra pair of irons as well. You are more than welcome to any (or all ;p) of it that you want. I haven't used it in years and don't foresee using it again. I would send all of this stuff (and any other english items that might be laying around in the tack room) for free. Not charity, just think of it as helping me make room in my tack room.
I don't even know what to say to any of you. You are all such a blessing to me and my horse, and there are no words to express our heartfelt appreciation. It's a wonderful feeling to know that there are so many people pulling for us to stick with it and succeed. Smrobs, I don't care what quality the saddle is! If I can use it to improve my riding and work with my pony, it's absolutely priceless! You guys are absolutely amazing. Thank you, and I love you all with all my heart. God Bless. Kim, thank you so much for helping me with my lifelong dream. You are truly an angel. At this point anything and everything would help. I don't have a lot to offer in trade, but I'm willing to do something. Thank you thank you thank you.
If you are willing to pm me your shipping address, I will gather that stuff up and send it your way first chance I get. And no worries about a trade or anything. Your thanks and the knowledge that you are going to keep after your dream are payment enough.
