Hello,
a few month ago, I bought a new saddle for my Quarter Horse Mare. For the horse, it fits very well. But I have a lot of issues with the saddle. Sometimes when I take my legs a little bit back, the fenders get caught at the tie-strap and/or Off-Billet and it takes some movements with the legs to the side to free them. And that causes my horse to stop immediately.
After a while I found a thread here in this forum, that this is a known problem of people with short legs like me. And the experts recommend a inskirt rigging (btw my old saddle has a inskirt rigging).
Now I was wondering, if it is possible and make sense to change the existing on-tree rigging of my saddle to a inskirt rigging. It's a Bob's Custom, model Fappani, if this is importent.
Or is that so much work, that it is better to sell the saddle and buy a new one ?
I had to mention, that it is a problem to sell a used (but like new) western saddle in germany for a acceptable price in an short time. Either you sell it with a serious loss or you need a lot of time. And because I have a lot of problems with the guy, who sold me the saddle (he doesn't sold the two saddles, he took in commision and he damaged one and lost the other), I don't want to make any deal with him about the Bob's ...
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
Excuse my bad english and Greetings from Germany
