I'd probably be a bit more desperate if the fitter had told me the Jorge Canaves also didn't fit because then I wouldn't have anything to ride her in, but we can probably keep limping along (not literally thank god) in that for a while longer while I do the responsible thing and save up, SIGH. But I am definitely going to keep an eye out for any saddle vendors in KY this weekend 🤣 maybe someone got one in on trade for something newer? A girl can dream!TrainwreckInTealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557554448624901955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599298708593134981.post-75499439184745122092022-04-25T09:56:33.501-07:002022-04-25T09:56:33.501-07:00If I could get the Custom sold I'd probably do...If I could get the Custom sold I'd probably do it without hesitating, but without something coming in from the sale of that it's hard to justify dropping so much money, sigh. And I can't sell the Jorge Canaves because I do ride Cinna in it too. Why do the things I love have to be so expensive? 🤣TrainwreckInTealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557554448624901955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599298708593134981.post-87482138512323961302022-04-25T07:52:35.817-07:002022-04-25T07:52:35.817-07:00At the very least you're being much more respo...At the very least you're being much more responsible than I am... I plan to put Al's saddle on a credit card and chip away at it as I can... <br />Isn't this always the way? Horses always want the expensive stuff. Sigh. I hope you find something IN BUDGET that makes your butt sing like the Fairfax.

Fingers crossed a used one crosses your path soon. I ended up paying more for mine but it was a no brainer when I bought mine because the old one just was so bad it needed to be done. At least there is something to hold you in the interim, but yes the expensive feeling is painfulAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738340998788890007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599298708593134981.post-75054258456190671452022-04-23T17:30:29.906-07:002022-04-23T17:30:29.906-07:00Yeah I can never unknow that now 😭😭😭😭Yeah I can never unknow that now 😭😭😭😭TrainwreckInTealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557554448624901955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599298708593134981.post-92064986779617014262022-04-23T10:17:31.101-07:002022-04-23T10:17:31.101-07:00Oof.

But on the other hand I found it a bit redeeming to my riding when my leg all of a sudden stayed roughly where it was supposed to be over fences without an effort of 150% from me.
