I would worry less about a particular brand than one that (1) fits your horse and (2) fits you. Depending on your horse's conformation (guessing he's a QH?), some of the saddle brands might not be wide enough in the tree for him. You probably should look at some good used saddles in a wide or...

Thanks for the advice. The tack shops I normally go to have very little selection when it comes to leathers. And they tend to be the $100 variety. I've been looking online (especially eBay) for the best price/quality combo - which is why I was asking about matching the color; it's hard to tell...

Does it matter if I buy a brand of stirrup leathers that isn't the same brand of saddle? If I buy a different brand, how do I make sure they match the shade of the saddle? I have a Crosby close contact saddle and would like to replace the stirrup leathers. It's been difficult for me to find Crosby...

I clean and condition my saddle regularly with Lexol, but it feels dry. I've oiled it once and my instructor said that you only need to do that once a year. The driest spot seems to be where the stirrup leathers touch the saddle. Should I use saddle soap?

No No No!!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!! BAAAAAD idea! Those beginner saddle packages are complete junk. The only plus about them is that they will fall apart on you in a few rides thus sparing you and your horse the pain it would otherwise put you through. They are made on extremely inferior trees that don't...

I have a used Crosby saddle that has a crack on the side of the seat. When I bought it two years ago, I don't remember it having a crack. It's jagged (so it's not a cut) and measures about 2-3 inches. Does it need to get repaired? And if so, how do I find a place to do that? And how much...

I have a wonderful Crosby Mark IV close contact saddle I bought used about 3 years ago. I love it and it fits my horse very well. Unfortunately, it has developed cracks along the seams of the seat. I took it to my local tack shop and they told me to continue to clean it and oil on a regular basis so...

I'm a member of the "Broke Horse Owner" club, and I'm in the market for a new english saddle. The one I have now is just... eh. Uncomfortable for me, and it takes about three pads to make it comfortable for my horse. He has medium-high withers but a fairly broad back, and it is SO HARD...
