Tiger Tiger, Burning Bright

Second ride on the treeless. The very large pommel is definately an issue. Perhaps it'll help to open my hips! :-) I'll stick with it, see how it goes. Anky certainly doesn't seem to mind it.
I have 3 friends who all ride treeless and they are coming over for a lunch bringing their gear with them so I'll be able to test another 3 saddles, it will give me more of an idea.

I'm off to the UK tomorrow to visit family so won't be blogging unless something fantastically interesting happens whilst i'm there ( highly unlikely).

However, I may be visiting a stud who have developed this new breed, so you never know!!


Cats and Horses, my two favourite animals ;-)

As cats and horses are my favourites too, I am very interested in that breed.
I assume it has fantastic jumping abilities?
What about dressage?
Hmpf.
Might be a small mental challenge there.

Yes, that's the problem with this breed, it very much does as it pleases.

that colouring would be fantastic, though, wouldn't it .. if anyone could afford it!

depending on what's in the pommel you could try

1. taking it out and stuffing it with e.g. nylon tights or something of that nature. feathers from a feather cushion? so long as it didn't result in too much impingement on wither.

2. heather's hip saver, which gets very good reports. also, she does a seat saver made for treeless of this pattern, i rather think.

My daughter would also like a tigorse.
She conluded that we would probably not have any large problems with mice in the stables anymore, LOL!
