  1. Saddle Discussions & Saddle Fitting Queries
    Hey! I have this beautiful English saddle I picked up at a sale. It’s marked Phase Four, but I’m having trouble finding any information on it so I can price it accurately. Can anyone tell me a bit more information and an estimated value? thanks!
  2. Saddle Discussions & Saddle Fitting Queries
    Hello all! I am considering purchasing a used saddle, and I am looking for your wise input. Does the saddle seat leather look ruined? Possibly by a cleaning product or other chemical that was put on the saddle? Or do you think this could be cleaned up and made to look like-new? Bonus question...
  3. Saddle Discussions & Saddle Fitting Queries
    I ride my horse in a western saddle, and he fits great in a 7-inch gullet. I'm currently looking for an english saddle for him, but I'm not sure what gullet size would be best for him since I assume there is a difference. Also, he uses a 34-inch cinch, so I'm not sure what girth size he would...

  5. General English Riding Queries
    Hello! So, I've always ridden western and never had any issues with steering. After a two-year break, I decided to get back into riding but this time try my hand in English. I pretty much have to start from the ground up again, and I just can't for the life of me steer my horse or keep on the...
  6. General English Riding Queries
    So I have my rising 6 y/o 17'3 and change generic brand warmblood (perch x tb) and I was wondering when it would be appropriate to move him up into the 3'0 jumpers. He jumps maybe twice a week but usually less and whenever we do we are jumping like 2'3 possibly 2'6. The issue we have been having...
  7. Rider Wellness
    Hello!(Hopefully I put this under the right category.) I ride both Western- as well as English. Western is my main go-to, but I do enjoy riding English off and on (Once a month at least.) I have no issues whatsoever riding western, but for the past few years every time I ride english, my left...

    Hello everyone, My husband and I are doing a mini honeymoon this year till we can afford our big honeymoon trip to Ireland and he's wanting to take me to watch three-day eventing (as it's my favorite type of event :)).

    Hello everyone! I would love to know what gloves you like to wear for the colder winter months and gloves for the summer that are breathable but also where you're able to still feel the contact with your hands. Thank you! :)
  14. General English Riding Queries
    Hey, it’s been awhile since the last time I was on here! I asked this once before, but now that time has passed, I wanted to ask again to see if my eye has improved. My pony is a paso fino, so he’s got a more vertical shoulder and a shorter back. I was told the last time that I was putting my...
  15. Saddle Discussions & Saddle Fitting Queries
    I am causally searching for an all purpose English saddle for flat work and very low level HUS at open shows. I have an older Collegiate that I love but unfortunately the seat size is too small for me now. My mare is a pretty stout 15hh stock type (broad shoulders, lower round withers but not...
  16. General English Riding Queries
    One of my bad habits with riding at the canter is standing up. I wouldn’t say I stand straight out of my saddle but I tend to shift the weight into my stirrups rather than driving with my seat. I try to correct myself but I keep doing it out of habit. I don’t know if it’s because of balance...
  17. Riding and Barn Wear
    Hello everyone, I'm looking to get into eventing and have begun my search for a protective vest. I would love suggestions on affordable ones to buy or ones to avoid. They would need to meet or go above the ASTM requirements for eventing. Thank You!
  18. General English Riding Queries
    I rode in an English saddle for the first time today, I loved it! My horse (8-year-old morgan/quarter horse and ex-cutting horse) responded very well too. He neck reins and is very responsive to leg pressure. I am fairly competent with western riding and loved my new experience in an English...

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice when it comes to which states and areas within those states are good to live in that have an abundance of eventing competitions and trainers. Where I'm from eventing is pretty much nonexistent. I know of Florida (would LOVE to live there) but with the...
  20. General Riding queries
    I just purchased a Total Contact saddle from the UK after a friend let me try hers. I fell in love. I was super suspicious about no tree and all, but my mare moved way better in it, and the stirrups put my legs in a nice place, and it was very comfy. I used a thinline bareback pad under it...
