I'll Show You Mine/You Show Me Yours - T 3/26
Comments (30)Thank you, Marilyn. Nicole, the saddle in that picture is the second one I bought. The first one was bought within a week of my getting Teddy. It was not a very good one. It was cordura so it was lighter but it wasn't balanced. I could never get it cinched up just right. The second one was a Circle Y Topeka. That was a dandy. It was so comfortable for me and it was very well balanced. But unknowingly it did not fit Teddy as well as it should have. He was just too much of a gentleman to let me know that. :) So my friend was having a guy come who was a saddle-fitter. I asked him about my saddle and he told me it didn't fit Teddy. So my third saddle was a Circle Y High Horse with a wide tree. I actually did notice that Teddy had a "freer" walk and easier trot with the third saddle. My friend's horse actually stopped throwing her when she got her "magic" saddle, the same one I got for Teddy. LOL I had that third saddle and used it on the Big Red horse I got to ride after Teddy died. But once Big Red passed away and I didn't have any other horses I could ride, I ended up donating it to a horse rescue that I follow on Facebook. They are about 3 hours away and a friend and I made a day trip out of taking the saddle and all my brushes and various paraphernalia out to the rescue. They were thrilled to get it. I figured that unless I win the lottery, I won't have another horse. And if I do, I can afford to get a new saddle, one that is fitted to the horse. So making a long story longer, here is the third saddle. While it wasn't "custom" made it was custom fitted. Thanks for asking about it. It brings up lots of great memories. :)...See MoreI'll Show You Mine/You Show Me Yours - T 11/26
Comments (11)Murrysmom- you've just given me an idea for a gift for DH. He is handy with tools but we don't have the specialized ones you need to do this kind of work. But there is a workshop in Philly that has classes - I could get him one. Thanks for the idea....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - T 10/26/21
Comments (23)I really don't know whether the colour attracts them. The yard at that house had a lot of native flowers and since lorikeets are nectar eaters, I suspect that was the real draw. As you can tell, they're also very gregarious birds so if one shows up, more will arrive and join in....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - T 12/5/23
