Synthetic saddle for Western Pleasure?
? B Grand Blue ? asked:
I want to show competitively in Western Pleasure shows with my horse this year, but I only have a beaten up barrel saddle and a black synthetic trail saddle. I have been searching for a good leather saddle, it doesn’t have to be pleasure saddle, to show in, and I really don’t want to spend $2000 on a pleasure saddle. I have seen a really nice saddle that wasn’t too expensive, and looked like a pleasure saddle, but it had no silver,and it was fake leather.
Would it be okay to show in?
BTW I show in open shows, not rated or anything really serious or competitive. There are a lot of not-so-flashy saddles in the WP classes, but I’ve never seen a synthetic one.
