Laney asked:

I have a 16h thoroughbred mare and i’ve been trying to find a nice saddle pad to train in. I currently have a white but it gets dirty way to easy, so I just use it for shows. I also tried a maroon color but with her red tint it makes her look orange-ish.

What is the easiest way to measure a horse for a western saddle?

horselover4ever asked:

I am mostly asking for an easy way to measure my thoroughbred for a western saddle that fits, but also, a site i found, saddleonline.com, has nice looking saddles, but it is unbelievably low priced. I’m not sure what to think about it.
als, what are some tips for teaching horses to jump? My horse loves western but is also a natural jumper. He has days when he jumps anything, but he gets bored with jumping very quickly. what should i do to keep him interested?
I appreciate any help with these questions and just to clarify, i am NOT new with horses. only new to western and I’m not exactly sure how to train jumping.

equestrian6791 asked:

I would like to buy an all-purpose saddle of my own, but do not want to pay a ton of money for it. I found Wintec and they look like really nice saddles. I am thinking of either the 250 or the 500. Any other model suggestions would be great, too. I am hoping to hear from people who own one or have used one of their models. Thanks for your answers!
