I am looking for a new saddle for my gelding, he has not been the easiest to fit a saddle to he has broad shoulders. I was wondering if anyone has used a flex-tree saddle or treeless saddle and what your thoughts were on them. Thank You.

What do you guys think?

Do you guys think my gelding has mutton withers?

Hey I have a question for everyone. What are your thoughts on "Pure" breeds? Do you think the selective breeding within breeds is creating a problem for the horse industry? When you are looking for a horse do you prefer a "pure" breed or a cross?

Thanks

Has anyone used these boots?

Did you like them? I don't like having shoes on my gelding because I felt like they ended up doing more harm then good. I would prefer to keep him barefoot but I want to provide protection for his feet when we are in very rough terrain.

Thank You

I have a 4yr old quarter horse gelding who I ride western. I would love to learn both Western and English so I am wondering what the differences are for the horse between the two. Are there certain characteristics that make a horse better suited for one over the other?

Thanks

I have been seeing mixed reviews on the benefits of side reins. So I was wondering what your opinions were on them. Are they beneficial in training or do they promote false carriage?

Thanks in Advance

I am looking at getting a fly sheet for my gelding. I need one that will stand up to hard use, he loves to roll. So it needs to have good straps that will keep it in place. I also would like it to have good UV protection to keep his coat from fading out in the summer. I live in area with high temps and high humidity in the summer.

My gelding's feet tend to crack easily, especially his one white foot. Has anyone used a supplement or conditioner that has shown good results? Or any other suggestions to help his feet?

I am considering buying a impact gel pad for my gelding. So i was wondering what experiences people have had with them? Do they work as good as claimed?
