Flower Power

Cheap, piece of junk, fugly, cardboard leather saddles from India. Now in FLORAL TOOLING.

Groovy huh?

Saddle Quality FAIL

Wow, could this thing BE more craptacular? It looks like it is made of paper and cardboard. I wouldn't trust this thing to hold up long enough to get it on the horse, much less survive having a rider on it. I can't believe people will buy stuff like this, or that someone would use this photo to attempt to sell this saddle.

Flame On!

Oh. My. God.

I realize this is supposed to be a trophy, I get that. However, were I awarded this I think I might burst out laughing, or crying, or perhaps even run screaming. I know my horse would spook and flee in terror if I came at her with this. This is a ROPING saddle, so in theory, is most likely going to be awarded to a cowBOY. Fringe? Really? Painted flames? Rhinestones? Holy cow, it's a saddle folks, not a low rider. Can you imagine hanging a spur in those fringes when trying to dismount?



Heck, I don't think (no, I KNOW) I would even display this as a trophy and not use it. I think I would give it back, or ask for a less frightful replacement.

Scary Pink Saddle of the Week

*SQUEEE!* Sparklies!

No, I will NEVER run out of fodder for this weekly feature. NEVER. Scary, isn't it?

Torture Device Tuesday

For today's edition, I am turning once again to the TWH world. This particular bit has 10 inch shanks and a gag mouthpiece. It comes in a variety of mouthpieces as well, you can choose from; small twisted wire, tiny sweet iron twisted wire, twisted wire, chain or small smooth mouth. Depending on how badly you want to cut your horse's tongue up. Again, I am amazed at the variety of ways people can invent torture your horse. I am sure these feel great with some great huge lump of a person hanging on to the shanks for dear life.

I do not like it...

Sam I am, I do not like green...saddles?





Gross. This is one of the variations of the taxicab yellow saddle from last week. It apparently comes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa green as well. My only question is, does it smell like it too?

Stirrup Attachment FAIL

Here we have yet ANOTHER stirrup attachment fail. Really? How difficult is this? This pic is from a saddle sales site with multiple other cheap piece of crap western saddles on it. Did we not notice something wrong here? This is a bit obvious folks.
