 ?  We just got 3 Arabians. Totally love them. I have 5 kids and a crazy horse husband who all love to ride. Two of the kids love to take day long trail rides in the mountains with their Dad. I am looking into the endurance and long distance rides just for fun for them. So they can learn more too. But where do I go from here?  Thanks!

  ?   G'Day…I have a question on saddles.  What saddle do you recommend for distance riding?  I am originally from Australia and I have my 35 year old Aussie Stock Saddle which I love but I love the look of the gel/cushion padded endurance saddles.  What saddle name/brand etc... do you recommend? And also I was wondering if you or any of your members know of a saddle dealer that has A LOT of Endurance/trail saddles for us to look and try out!
