#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#$150 of duty?! My friend and I are probably going to be buying a saddle from the States - I found a place that sells brand new Wintec 500 dressage saddles with CAIR for $500US and, even with stirrups, a girth, etc., it adds up to less than the Thorowgood package (we don't really need a bridle lol) - plus it's a better saddle. However, if the duty ends up being that expensive, I don't think we'll be able to get it after all
I purchased a nice new leather halter for Sudz via eBay yesterday, too. It was from the US and my dad thought that seeing the price difference before and after the duty might be a good lesson for me. It was pretty cheap ($25US - including shipping!) so I don't think that they can make me pay that much extra, but... #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Shocked/5.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
