Looking for some recommendations:

I've got a horse that I would eventually like to take hunting with me but I know absolutely nothing about hunting with horses. I've ridden English my entire life and am looking to purchase a western saddle that will be comfortable for long trail rides and hunting. With there being so many different types of western saddles out there ... I was hoping maybe someone could suggest which type/style would be best for what I would like to do.

Also looking for somewhere or someone locally (in the GVRD/Fraser Valley) that teaches how to pack and go on overnight trail adventures/hunts.
