I'm lusting after a PS of Sweden High Jump bridle, though Micklem just came out with/Dover just started carrying a new fancy stitch version that looks like it may work as well. So torn! In regards to the new half pad, I ended up going with a Prolite Tri-half pad over a TSF with wither relief. I haven't been able to ride in my new saddle with it (had to send it back for a minor repair and extra flocking), but I love it with the loaner saddle I am borrowing! I need a ton of new things for myself as well, but sadly my meager budget relegates me to English Tack Trader and the like. :-)<br /><br />Happy the tack changes are working well for your pony!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06726155529024447711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677504786349906999.post-27313502402461872462015-03-23T09:38:19.669-04:002015-03-23T09:38:19.669-04:00WELL since over fall/winter I have acquired a new ...WELL since over fall/winter I have acquired a new saddle, TSF girth, and new tall boots, I am not allowed to buy tack ever again.
