The world seems to be calming down and getting back to
normal, here in San DiegoCounty. The smoke is gone and the horses are
ready to get out and work. Thank
you for the posts re my little fire scare.The local utility has hired a security patrol.We have been asked not to shoot themJ.Last night an overzealous patrol left 2
big gouges in the front lawn at 2 am. We have fire
rescued horses on our street and little Lyric is miserably in season.She could not walk between two pastures
on opposite sides of the street with new geldings in them!
I need your advice.Lyric has lost hair on
either side of her withers from a too small saddle. On the left it is the size of a silver
dollar; on the right it is smaller.It happened after her first
ride.I think she added more
shoulder muscle from the ride. What saddle should I try now?
The current saddle, Abetta endurance w/ fleece, is only 6
months old. I tried over 5 different saddles to find this one and I am NOT
happy to have to go through this process againL.Should I go to a treeless?I know her back will change many more
times as she is 5 years old. [She just added a shoe size - 0 to a 1]Bob Marshall is too long and rubbed her
loins. How are the Torsions/Reactor
Panels?Any other more western
style endurance out there that is light and small? Are the Tuckers too heavy?
Tomorrow will be saddle fashion show. I have a Tucker, WIntec (with a large
gullet in it) and an Australian to try. Heck, I’ll go door to door to
find a good saddle. Help, I need
suggestions, war stories, anything!
