964.0. "Buena Vista Plantation Saddle???" by NRADM::CONGER (What's ONE more cat????) Thu Jun 01 1989 12:39

    
    	I checked keywords and topic listing, and read all the
    	saddle notes, but did not find anything about a Plantation
    	Saddle. Anyone know anything about this? The reason why I'm
    	so curious is because I will be bringing home my Tennessee
    	Walker on saturday and don't have a saddle yet. I'm wondering
    	if this might be what I will want as the breed was used on
    	plantations to begin with. (makes sense, right?)

    As a owner of a Walker I can tell you what me and my Walker buddys
    are using. Of the group of us 4 are using cutback show saddles,(known
    as Fox Lane style) 1 is riding Western, 1 is using an Australian
    Stock saddle, and I use a Dressage saddle. I have discovered that
    Buena Vista saddles are hard to find and very expensive. There is
    a note in this conference about Tenn. Walkers, I would love to hear
    about your new "baby" there..Bloodlines etc.

964.3saddles `n' bits...NRADM::CONGERWhat's ONE more cat????Mon Jun 05 1989 14:1917
    
    	I did speak to the girl selling the plantation saddle, 
    	and decided not to get it. She described it as a cross
    	between a cavalry saddle and an australian saddle. I
    	suppose the price she was asking was pretty good - $275
    	and only used a half dozen times (horse got a bowed tendon).
    	I think I'm going to get a used cutback, and save up for
    	an Australian.
    
    	Sandy, I'd be interested to know what kinds of bits you 
    	and your friends are using, also the type of shoeing you're
    	having done. I can't seem to find anyone around here that
    	can help me much on this...
    
    	Thanks,
    	Sherry
964.4Buena Vista Plantation SaddleDASXPS::SANDLERTue Jun 06 1989 11:267
    I just purchased a Buena Vista Plantation Saddle.  I got it at
    Parade Acres Tack Shop in Concord, N.H.  Have had it for about 
    a week and have used it 5 times.  It's just great.  I've done
    most of my riding western and am taking lessons for English and
    this saddle makes a great transition.  I also just purchased a 
    Saddlebred who had been shown alot and the saddle fits perfectly.
    By the way it wasn't all that expensive.....
