And that was after I got a black dressage bridle for it. Call me unobsevant....but the black bridle works for me. It actually bothers me a little bit now that I know, but it actually isn't that noticeable. I think your saddle looks more Havana than mine does, so I'd probably go with the Havana strap good for it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411599470246102708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-83917205428926832702015-02-12T11:47:35.569-05:002015-02-12T11:47:35.569-05:00Havanna all the wayHavanna all the wayL.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-52678411158395705662015-02-12T10:31:39.542-05:002015-02-12T10:31:39.542-05:00Yeah, it's nice to have the flexibility.

It doesn't look black to me at all just a delicious chocolate color 😊 <br /><br />My Cwd is full buffalo and i was a freak initially too but CWDs are well made and running your stirrups up won't hurt it.
