This beauty is advertised as an endurance saddle, which makes sense given the lack of a horn. However what does NOT make sense is the rest of the saddle! Silver plates on an endurance saddle? Big, heavy skirts? Heavy tooling? Stirrups with (backwards) tapaderos? What? Stick a little silver horn on it, take off the taps and call it a show saddle. This poor thing is just confused, maybe it will figure out what it wants to be when it grows up soon.
Not to mention all the chaffing from the mega tooling under your thieghs!!! oooo ouch!!!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up! Now I know how to define what an endurance saddle is--a regular western saddle minus the horn!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just for show, but the tapaderos are on the wrong side of the stirrups!
ReplyDeleteWow. I bet it's stiff as Brady Bunch family room paneling, too. And as low quality.
ReplyDeleteHilason looks to be about as "nice" as Ligers&Tigons saddles....
Okay, someone on my horse forum wants this: http://cgi.ebay.com/13-PURPLE-BLING-BLACK-WESTERN-HORSE-SADDLE-ARAB-BARREL-/110619528387?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c1700cc3#ht_3925wt_1960
ReplyDeleteI saw it and cringed.
That really is one confused saddle! Nice tooling, though.
ReplyDeleteI've sent through some submissions previously - not sure if you had alreayd posted them, if they weren't tacky enough, or if you just didn't get them. They are coming from a d*******k@gmail.com address, so they might have ended up in your junk box. :)
The brand name says it all. Hilason is a name that is synonymous with craptastic saddles and tack. They sell their craptastic saddles on E-bay and are well known for their horrible quality and customer service. If the name is Hilason stay far, far away.
ReplyDeleteEWwww, poor little confused thing!
