My daughter's birthday is in 2 weeks and the only thing that she wanted was a saddle for Faith, our pony mare. We're saving to get our car fixed, so we really couldn't afford one but by a huge twist of fate (or blessing from God
: ) we got an awesome deal on a nice used child's saddle. I have just about everything else rounded up that I need. The only thing that I'm lacking is a decent saddle pad. I'm wondering if y'all can recommend a good but inexpensive place to get one.
Thanks in advance!
I forgot to mention our plans for Faith, if anyone's wondering. She was abused under saddle, so we're taking it very slowly. After Courtney's birthday, we'll be working with a friend to slowly get her used to being under saddle again, the gentle way. We don't have the room to really "ride" so we're just going to do "pony rides" with the kids. That means no bridle or bit, which I'm sure Faith will really like. Us adults will not be riding her at all, only the kids, and she'll be on halter and lead at all times with 2 adults present at all times
: I've always said that I don't care if she's ever ridden again, and I don't. At least, if this doesn't work out for her, we won't have spent a fortune on tack.
Thanks in advance!
