I've tried asking this question a few days ago but it never got posted, so I'm trying it again:)

What's your favorite piece of tack you own?
Mine is my barrel racing Circle Y saddle and my tie dye bell boots.: D

Way to totally steal my question from earlier today

I am in love with my 1942 Military saddle, possibly because I love the history of things and I didn ' t know anything about this dingy saddle that I bought for 60 $ from some western girl. Now, I have contacted Keiffer Saddlery and they have told me as much as they know about it - it was built during the war, and thats all they know . My saddler told me he has never seen anything like it, with a canvas bottom and all. Its sound and comfortable to ride in.

2nd favorite is my spiffy tastic re-covered bareback pad, which I lent out to a friend and it got a hole, so thus I covered it in tweed which pretty much makes it like velcro.

My favorite piece of tack is my Pariani saddle. They don't carry my saddle anymore. It's 33 years old, but it is in great condition. I think it could go another ten years. It is so comfortable and it fits my horse better than any other saddle I have tried. It's an all purpose saddle, but it's pretty shallow. That makes it easy to jump in, but at the same time provides me with great security over big jumps. I love it! pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com

I love my barrel saddle, it has a lime green seat, and it's very comfy.
I also love my impact gel saddle pad ... it works amazing for my horse! she moves so much better with her. Her turns are much nicer.
I also love my head stall, it is one eared, it has black stingray on the cheek pieces and cross conchos with crystals. It is narrower at the top and gets thicker as it goes down . I love it:)
I also really like like my pegasus boots:)

A beautiful silver bit with silver overlay and underlay. My son is a bit and spur maker and he gave it to me for mothers day several years ago. I also have spurs that match.

His work is in such demand now that the good ole boys cant afford them anymore it is the collectors that mostly get his work. His name is Lane Dilworth and his studio and workshop are in his home in Leeds, Utah. Wish you could see some of his beautiful work.

My Freeform Treeless saddle! It is blue and black nubuck leather and sooooo soft and puts me close to my horse so she can translate seat aids better. Second favorite is my black and silver celtic patterned trim dressage saddle pad ... I love how elegant it looks with the Freeform saddle.

My favourite is my reins. I love them, so much. We call them my beaver tail reins because they are about, seven-nine feet long and have flat pieces of leather at the end that look like beaver tails. They're just great for anything, neck reining, I can cross them and direct rein with no problem, I can swing the ends around without affecting my horse to get stupid cows moving. I love them. My dad keeps fixing them everytime they break , (stupid clips! they suck so much!) and they are becoming indestructible now. I'm on the lookout for some like them, preparing for the day when I can't use them anymore.

This sounds weird, but my girth. It's just a 42 "girth, but somehow it fits almost every pony at my barn ... Hence me not having to borrow other peoples girths when I ride their ponies. (: pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com

Either that, or my blue saddle pad because it looks good on a lot of ponies: D

I love my saddle ... and my breast collar is super cute!:) lol .. what barrel saddle do you have? Do you like it?


EDIT: Thats awesome. you don't know which one it is? like which model?


EDIT: Oh, never mind .. you have the iron flower barrel saddle:)

Well I don't own it yet but the piece that I have my eye on is this
Caldene headcollar - still not sure I can justify the price tag though .....!

I love my Thinline trifeta half pad. It does wonders for my tb.:)
I also loove my bridle, one of the best things I have bought (along with the half pad.:)
