I'm just getting started on buying my own tack. I've ridden for a while, but with a 12 year gap since I was last horseback.
I've been taking western lessons recently & I'm just starting to put my own gear together. No immediate plans to buy my own horse yet, but I have access to as many as I want! I have my saddle, headstalls, bits, reins, breast harness etc all sorted out, but I'm sticking on a 'universal' pad.
What's everyone's preference for long rides? Anything I should avoid?
Right now, I'm looking at several cutback/contoured/non-contoured felt & fleece backed numbers & the more I look, the more discombobulated I'm getting myself!
Is there reeeeeally an advantage to a $150 pad over a $40???
