I have a small Quarter Horse, a passive-aggressive mare that had been badly abused and was starved half to death when I got her seven months ago. From the beginning, she has disliked every Western saddle I have tried on her and is none too fond of my Jeffries Falcon Hawk either, even though it fit her fairly well. I have been tearing my hair out trying to figure out what to put on her back. Tonight I finally tried my beautiful handmade dressage saddle and she loved it! Dropped her head and absolutely strode out. Thank you Martin York of York Saddlery in Schomberg. You are a true horseman and an artist.
