In preparation for Rolex, I’ve compiled a list of things I want/need to buy. I’m really looking forward to being able to touch and try things on. I hate buying tack and riding gear online.

In addition to buying, I’m also selling. My Duett Companion Fox Hunter saddle is for sale. As much as I’ve expressed my issues with it on this blog, it is actually a good saddle. My husband rides in the same saddle in a different size and loves his. It fits Shasta and him very well and he’s been happy with it for long trail rides as well as jumping. Before this saddle we had to use anti-slip pads and breastplates just to keep the saddle from rolling on Shasta. His saddle fits her back perfectly and we don’t need any accessories anymore. So this saddle can work for the right person/horse combo.
These saddles are very hard to come by used – it took me months to find this one. If you’re interested or know someone who would be, I’m selling it for $800 plus shipping. Posted on eBay and English Tack Trader.
That's quite a shopping list — you're going to have so much fun!!
Hells yeah! So many things were purchased.
