Behind the Bit is a great resource.<BR/>I have received compliments on my web site selling new and used tack and clothing. I wonder if you would like to add it to your list.<BR/>www.saddlesandmore.com<BR/>Diane

I loved the Chubby Pony when it was just down the road from me ... then Dottie up and moved. Sad, sad. I got some really classic and long-wearing attire and equipment from her shop--not to mention selling ancient saddles.

Now that I own a chestnut it is only a matter of time before I offer to buy one at any price. I'm just waiting for Riley to GROW into his permanent size.

Oh, how dare you! Now I too am coveting that blanket and basically everything else on that website, but they are no longer in business!<BR/><BR/>Where can I find all those pretty things?! The blankets, saddle pads, jackets... I covet them all.<BR/><BR/>Please tell me they are sold somewhere else!

I used Ebay to try different saddles to see what I liked. Was originally going to rent, but it was so expensive I just bought 3-4 saddles on Ebay, tried them, and resold them after testing them out. I was able to rule out several saddle models that I was thinking about. Only loss was postage. Of course it's cheapest to borrow, but some saddles are just too rare (e.g., Laser).

I've had wonderful luck (usually) buying and selling on e-bay but you're right -- so many times the cost is close to retail, especially if you've got a discount card/promotion at your local saddlery. Still, I've bought (and sold) three wonderful saddles on e-bay. One was a cheap but substantial child's saddle, one was an salesperson's exquisite sample, and one was just plain used and needed work.

Great lot of resources, thanks!<BR/><BR/>I don't think I can go past ebay when it comes to encouraging my horse books addiction but it's great to know of other resources for good tack!

Thanks for the links. I have a saddle I am searching for so maybe now I can locate it.
