Hey John,
Yes - I do have that saddle and yes, it has been fixed - Chris did a glue and bolt for next to nothing for me and it should be good to go again. I think that realistically, buying a horse would possible take place after I have finished my studies - which is summer 2011... its something I've wanted to do for a good while and speaking with one of the others in another group who is training her new native pony to have ready for next summer- its really inspired me.. I'm thinking a dales would be a great choice.. they are up to 14.2hh - mostly black, short sturdy leg and beautiful head carriage... And yes, I'd have to have it stabled the 'wet' side of the Pennines I'm afraid... There is a stud that has bred some beautiful Dales ponies just outside Oldham http://www.strinesdalestud.co.uk/- a friend of mine used to work there and I think that would be my first port of call for buying one to break in... Lovely temperaments too and not too expensive..
