| 5 star pad or Wade pad
Don't forget horse leg protection, Professional's choice or Classic Equine.
Heritage brand Tack set
For you, PHT 3 in 1 leg wraps work for sore knees. You might want a whole set of PHT stuff for your horse too. :)
Bits - I think you'll do fine in your barbwire number. Watch out though, If you are our new 1D idol, if it's custom, you'll have to know the maker so we can all get one ordered. |

| For the knees...... how about some Wall's Slanted/Twisted stirrups? i just got mine last week and though i only had one ride in them i was walking and not waddling when i dismounted!!!
My fav pad is the impact gel out of all of them...i have had it for 10 years and it is still in great condition.
My fav bit it the five bit by L & W. you get a bit more control than just a normal O ring snaffle for those young ones.

Personally, I don't like the CJ pads because I think they break down too quickly. If you are looking for cheaper, Diamond Wool pads are a decent substitute, just get a thicker one. I bought a 1 inch DW that's comparable to a 5 star 3/4.
I use the PHT wraps on my knee and my mom uses them on hers. Mine isn't too bad, she had a meniscus repair on hers and it's worked wonders. We also both use slanted stirrups. Haven't tried the twisted ones because our stirrup leathers aren't stiff. |

I saw some things I like on the Ed and Martha Wright site. Do we like the Charmayne James saddle pad?
I don't recommend the CJ pads. Love her saddles but hated the pads. |

See other post....you'll want the best. Heritage Brand.
Actually, I don't know if I'd buy one if I had $600. I probably wouldn't want to use it, they are so pretty! I like my Riata Leather tack set that I added conchos too, that's just as pretty and it cost me around $150 total.
Cinches....I love my Smart Cinches! Neoprene for the early spring shedding season, and felt for the rest of the year. |

I use this Weaver Air Flex cinch on all my saddles. Even my cinchy horse approves of this one! and yes i use the Roper style so it covers a broader area and doesn't have to be as tight.

also look up Aker's Ranch store on Ebay
nice sets and not too expensive.
I don't care for the CJ pads myself. I sold mine. If you want something cheaper, check out Diamond Wool pads. Not terribly expensive and they are decent quality. They wear out faster than a 5 star, but they aren't bad. |
