I need some tips on English tack.?
I have always ridden western, but I went to a horse expo this weekend and found an english saddle for only $25, so I had to get it! I was planning on starting Hunt Seat this summer, but now I’m going to be doing it ASAP. I just need some tips on the tack itself.
I already have the saddle (which fits me and my horse) the leathers, the irons, and a fleece saddle pad. I still need a bridle, bit, reins, and girth. What I need are tips as to what sorts of styles/brands might be good. What type of bit and girth, style of bridle, etc. Also, is there anything else that I might need?
The horse is a 5 year old foundation bred AQHA mare. She is about 15.3 hh, and weighs in around 1,200 lbs. She does have a large head since her body is so big, so I would need a brand of bridle that would fit a bigger horse.
Thanks in advance for any help!
bridles- a plain bridle with a caverson nose band is best, it shouldn’t cause any problems or confusion for your horse, you can get them on places like ebay for very little, just watch out for stiff leather< and you can get synthetic ones that are just as good. i'm not going to give you expensive brands cos that can get very confusing and expensive, brands like kincade do go cost effective bridles!(try and get horse or Full Size)

you don’t need to be to fussy about girth makes, ones with elastic are good,
