Title: Horse, Pony, various saddles and other tack for livestock or equipment...
Post by: Arabus on February 23, 2012, 07:00:56 pm: Hi All,
I have 2 Western and 3 English saddles and various other pieces of tack which are surplus to requirements.
I would like to swap for sheep, goats, geese, pigs, hens or any related equipment.
If livestock, I would prefer rare breeds, but any considered really.
If anyone's interested I will post more details, sizes etc...
I also have a driving pony (currently on trial as a riding pony)
and a stunning coloured pba gelding for sale or swap...

Post by: Arabus on February 24, 2012, 09:57:48 am: I'm in Southampton, Hampshire. I'd be happy to post anything if economical to do so, and am willing to travel a fair distance for anything special (Golden Guernseys :D )...
Sorry no, I did have one (English), but I gave it away as I couldn't bear to see a neighbour's flat-backed cob having to tolerate his much too narrow saddle! I will measure the old Western one though, it has fit all the horses it has been tried on, and been a great breaking saddle.
I have bridles, bits, numnahs and girths, fly rugs and fringes.
I also have an exercise cart...

I'm sure there'll be takers nearer to you - good luck!
