Crazy saddle

I'll write about the lesson later, but here's that crazy ass saddle! Ignore my cluttered as hell living room. That's an order.

Why, what's this? It's blue and soft and fuzzy. Almost as soft and fuzzy as Bonnie who's snuck into the bottom right of the frame.

My, it's a saddle! A pretty weird looking dressagey thing with billets that Ron Jeremy would be proud of. Here, the wacky Webbers are actually pulled up.

Here are the leathers run down, to about my length. Oh, and that's Alex in the background.

Silly Vinnie, saddles are for horses! I tell you, this house is infested. Two of the cats aren't even in these pics.

Here's the flap lifted. There are two velcro areas, so you could have a roll behind your thigh as well. Well, not my thighs....

From the front. This saddle is fucking weird and will lie completely flat if you so desire, believe it or not. That's the suberpanel looking all out of place and weird underneath the saddle. And, yes, I sliced the piping in the front of the saddle pad. As I discovered and had confirmed in my lesson, piping can act like a tourniquet.

The back of the saddle, looking crazy as fuck. Leeandra's saddle doesn't have the plate on the back. It will be a good marker to make sure that I'm centered.

Really, what the hell is this underneath the saddle? It's a fabric bag filled with cork. What the everloving fuck? It's the suberpanel. :)

Here's what lurks under the suberpanel. This saddle has been neutered! Thanks Bob Barker. The floppy, deflated looking panels hold some foamy pads that you use as padding if you don't use the suberpanel. It looks a lot more like a normal saddle if you use them, but everyone raves about the suberpanel.

It looks absolutely ludicrous, but it is an amazing saddle.
