I do appreciate the seller’s honesty, but, uh, maybe she canters that fast because someone who doesn’t know what he’s doing is aboard in that HUGE Western saddle??? I’m sorry (call me prejudiced), but it always seems a bit wrong to me for a TB to go in Western tack. Maybe Maresy here agrees?
I feel the same way. A nice AP saddle and proper english tack.
Her canter is fast b/c she’s an OTTB and nobody knew how to retrain her for anything else, hence the Western saddle. Anyone who knew what they were doing would have suitable tack on her. That tack screams “wannabe horse trainer”.
One cannot fix stupid……..
