Tack of the Expo

There were numerous types of tack at the PA Horse Expo.

A lot of the saddles I saw were more western and english.

Here's a saddle seat saddle.

Then I started to see other types of tack like this racing saddle.

Here's a line of Australian saddles that I forgot to come back to take close photos of!

And then I wandered to the DP Saddlery booth. Pat told me they'd be there and to take pictures. So I did. 

There were English-type saddles with tooling. Isn't this dressage saddle pretty?

Detail shot of the tooling.

The saddles then bridged away from english and western. DP Saddlery had a bunch of Baroque type of saddles on display. Some had lots of tooling.

Others did not.

I tried to take plenty of detail shots of them.

 Making a Baroque saddle has always seemed elusive to me because they're so different from other types of saddles.

 But these pictures helped break it down into containable chunks. I can't say this is something I'd tackle in the near future, but at least I have some references!

Because I finally saw some in person.

There were also headstalls.

And here's a Mosquero. It connects to the browband of the bridle. 

I hope you enjoyed the different types of tack! I know I did. :)
