We have a 6 year old Morab that was "out of control". North Star's Legacy (barn name-Tucker) was the Reserve National Champion 2 y.o. He was showing as a 3 & 4 yr. old.
As he matured so did his back and saddles were being used and traded as he grew. He began leaping, bucking, pinning his ears and generally wanted both saddle and rider off of him. He was very convincing!
I was told at a custom saddlery he couldn't be fitted. I bought saddles, sent them back and became quite depressed.
Barb O'Day is our local Ansür dealer. With her help and that of another Ansür owner we tried your saddle. It was an almost immediate positive reaction from Tucker. Within 2 lessons he was no longer bucking nor wincing when the saddle was in place. It was incredible. I borrowed an Ansür to be sure we were making a wise investment. Both the dressage and the hunt seat Elite were worn with ease.
Tucker returned as the beautiful horse we once knew. My daughter's confidence has risen immensely from the safe rides and instruction given by Barb.
Tucker was shown in Sterling, ILL the weekend of September 22-24. My daughter rode him in the Ansür saddle. They came back with 3 National Championships and 1 Reserve Championship! What a great accomplishment in such a short time! All thanks to Ansür and Barb O'Day.
