I personally think you need to ride in the saddle first to ensure your comfort and the horses'. I ride in a wintec all purpose because that's what I'm used to/comfortable in. I like it due to it's lightweight design, it's waterproof and it the adjustability of the saddle tree itself. The lightweight of the saddle allows me to pack more gear as well. Upside to the design. Just my opinion.

I am new to the MSAR list. I am newer than new to MSAR. I was introduced to the prospect by my local canine SAR group (STRIKE K-9). I am getting my horse in February, with a long-term goal of involvement with MSAR. In front of that, I must log many, many more trail miles as a rider, and my horse as well. But, in looking at tack, I am already thinking about something that will equip us for training. She is a mountain horse (short back, high withers), and I am looking at a Standard Trooper Saddle with Rocky Mtn Horse tree and western style rigging from Jack Haggis Saddles out of Ontario Canada (www.haggissaddles.com). Anyone out there familiar with the saddle? Have one? Recommend something else in particular? I read a comment on an MSAR site about the need to be sure the saddle has an integral skirt so that saddle bags do not work up under the saddle. Other than that, is there anything else to keep in mind when outfitting a horse for MSAR training/work? Thanks, Deb
