welcome ozrider.....yes this is the addiction board.
i have also been riding all my life, i have buckles too but no saddle at 34 years old. i am guessing only in my dreams right now. gotta get with my mare. if ever i win a saddle everyone will hear me scream. my brother has won 12 saddles, he rides in one and the rest are kept in my parents shed.
wow Australia too cool...
