All our other saddles are for long-backed, high-withered horses, and they didn't even come close to fitting Mr. Haffie. But Haffies need custom things, don't you think? It makes their hair look better. ;)jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-65153262194114684152014-03-05T07:52:50.309-06:002014-03-05T07:52:50.309-06:00Saddle shopping is the WORST.

We go with whatever works, I cringe and hand over my credit card. Luckily, we were able to shim my old Wintec AP so that it mostly works for jumping - not the best fit ever, but not the worst. It'll do for now, and the dressage saddle was more important anyway.<br /><br />HOPEFULLY the saddle will be here in about a month. My fitter knows the saddler personally, so my saddle is up there in the queue. Did you know it only takes a day to a day and a half to make a saddle?
