Hunt Seat to Dressage

Well I have decided to switch from Hunt Seat to Dressage since I don't jump
anymore. I haven't jumped for maybe 10 y;ears now. Since my hunt seat
saddle needed repair, and I take my lesson with my friend who does dressage.
My instructor was in Virginia and she new I was thinking about changing
looked for a saddle for me. She has actually found all the saddles that I
have had, she just knows what I like and what will fit my horse and myself.
She has never gone wrong.

Well its not as easy as people might think. It took me my hour lesson just
working on me to finally get it some what right. Not perfect by all means
but since I ride 5 days a week I'm hopefull won't take that long. I just
want to shove those heels down and thats not good. And the saddle was so
comfortable and fit my horse as well.
