Shopping for a new saddle!
I’m looking for an eventing or deep-seated jumping saddle. Preferably leather, new or used, 17-17.5” seat and a M/MW tree. Something I can jump, hack, and do flatwork in comfortably (I don’t show). Priced under $3000. Any suggestions?

Contours
I have grown to recognize the lines and shapes of my horse’s body like I do my own hand. His contoured head gives way to a finely sculpted neck, curved smoothly at the jugular and laced with a golden mane.

"My Evolution" by Jodie Lazell →

"War Horse" poem By Glaedr the poet
There was no greater companion, then the horse of war
Through the many plains and fields of battle did he soar!
Not by sky, but by landÂ
he charged forth to take a stand
When the great knights of old mounted the saddle
The war horses knew it was time for battle!
Through the wind, rain, moon, and sun
The war horse galloped on; until the battle was won.

Currently I need about 20 more followers to reach that goal. Thanks so much to everyone who has followed me recently, and to those of...
