I have an English saddle that will soon be 12 years old. It is a General Purpose Wintec 250 and has seen a fair amount of use both under me (until I realized it was too small for me, ha!) and under students. I have never had a saddle reflocked and figure it might be time. I would rather fix up what I have than buy a new one if at all possible ( Read more... )

... pun intended. ;) Anyway, long story short, I recently picked up a cool older Stubben Cavaleria Monoflap saddle that's in great condition, and I like the feel of it... except for how hard the seat is. It leaves my seat bones feeling really sore. It fits me better than my A/P saddle, so I'm inclined to use it more, but I just can't get over how ( Read more... )

Ok, so I've decided I'm keeping the Circuit Premier Special Eq that finally came in for me! Yay!! However, last time I had a new saddle it was like 1990 and I have no memory of if there was something special you needed to do to new saddles ( Read more... )

Hi all! I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts/opinions on the Crosby PDN, especially the California model?

It's about 10 years old, and looks ( Read more... )

About 5 years ago, I bought a saddle from a local tack store. It was a special order that someone didn't pick up, so I got it for pretty dang cheap. At the time, I didn't give much thought to the brand, because it fit me and it fit my horse. But now I'm kind of curious. It's a CJD, with both LEX and Competitor XK marked on it. Has anyone ever heard ( Read more... )
