Also I have kids and other women who like to be able to tack up on their own, the lighter weight makes it a lot easier for everyone, including the horse whose back said saddle is landing on. Anyway, yeah, I'm super excited about this saddle and the Wintec's are economically priced. On the wintec western saddles... I've heard that they are great, especially for say trail riding. However I've also heard that structurally for things like roping or even penning, they move too much and are not really designed to perform well under those pressures. That said, I'm not an active cowgirl, nor do I live in Texas, so, from me, it's just what I've heard, no personal experience. I'd give one a whirl if I were you though! I hope Santa brings you one! :-)<br />And... go you for taking lessons!! and in an english saddle no less, very cool!! One of my secret wishes is to duplicate a guy I met in NY at a team penning event... he, hands down, won the event with his team, he was brideless in a dressage saddle, complete with white breeches and tall black boots, what a riot he caused!, his horse was absolutly amazing. Some day... :-)<br />Best,<br />~HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717706221912581837.post-87668272468115787912009-11-30T19:31:58.567-05:002009-11-30T19:31:58.567-05:00Heather,
