I'm a hate because I find them slick and the leather refuses to budge from whatever color it comes in, but other people think they're fantastic. To each butt their own. ;) I hope it works out for you, finding something that the horse likes AND the rider likes can be such a production. I just bought a new saddle too so I'm hoping like crazy that it fits when it gets here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-28832765603208159102015-01-28T09:50:54.603-08:002015-01-28T09:50:54.603-08:00I hope you like it!

I recommend using some sort of leather balm (passier, devoucoux, etc) to really up the grip factor. The stubben recommended Hamanol is great on strap goods, but it seems to continue the 'slick shiny' factor on saddles. Fingers crossed it works for you!redheadlinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736154763329900177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-56327561185255535522015-01-26T11:39:43.072-08:002015-01-26T11:39:43.072-08:00I ride in a new-ish stubben like yours and I love ...I ride in a new-ish stubben like yours and I love it!

And there's lots you can do to help with slippery leather -- good conditioner, for one, will always make tack a little tacky-er (or it has, in my experience). And for when you DO get to those training level drops there's those sticks of leather-grip stuff! ;)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834098473974912416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-10002534675143286112015-01-26T10:15:55.289-08:002015-01-26T10:15:55.289-08:00thanks!! haha and that gif is actually only the fi...thanks!! haha and that gif is actually only the first in a series... lol. emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-80391446377109089122015-01-26T10:15:23.400-08:002015-01-26T10:15:23.400-08:00thanks!!! thanks!!! emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-17127589707126807372015-01-26T10:15:15.853-08:002015-01-26T10:15:15.853-08:00great - i'm glad to hear you love yours too!! ...great - i'm glad to hear you love yours too!! i think you're right about the love/hate thing - so i guess we'll find out when i sit in it!! and yea... saddle shopping has been trickier than anticipated!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-61657224912871278212015-01-26T10:14:24.712-08:002015-01-26T10:14:24.712-08:00thanks!!!thanks!!!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.com
