Response to Amanda's Request for a Luc Childeric Dressage Saddle

Hi to Amanda! I have a 17.5 DAC medium tree that is used and in very good condition. I had it evaluated recently and similar models are going for around 2,000 $US. I found out that it does not fit my horse properly (he needs a wide tree) so I am looking to sell it so I can purchase a replacement. I am also looking for a used DAC, 18 with a wide tree, because I like my current saddle so much. I am very disappointed that it doesn't fit my horse. I bought it based on the name and experience riding in a friend's before I knew much about saddle fitting. Are you still looking for a saddle, or have you already found one? I live in southern New Hampshire in the US.

Hi Karen,

Yes sorry I finally found one after a long search in British Columbia Canada. Are you still looking for a 18 wide childeric? There is a site called runningfox.com in Ontario Canada, that has a lot of used childerics at a decent price.

Hi Amanda,
Thanks for letting me know! I am taking some time off from a saddle search because my horse is going on lease for the winter, but I appreciate the advice, since I love the saddle and will likely be looking again in the spring. I am glad you found the saddle you needed! Warm regards and thanks again, Karen

Hi Karen,

No problem at all. I know how difficult it was to find one myself. I really just happened on it. Goodluck in your search when you start again.

Thanks,

Amanda :)

Hi Karen, just found this post while looking for a Childeric DAC. Just wondering if you still have the saddle, I realize this was posted a long time ago. Let me know!

Hi Natasha,

I did end up selling it in December. I thought I had posted that, but I guess I didn't because I can't find the thread! Amanda mentioned a site in Canada that might be helpful above. Good luck with your search, Karen

The site still has a lot of used Childeric's, When I ended up getting my saddle, I literally just searched on google and found one and talked over the phone with the lady who said if it was not sastifactory I could always send it back and I love it to this day!

So just look around online if you are find the prices to expensive etc.
