Hello,
Just in from riding Harley. It did warm up a bit finally, We trail rode and did lots of hill climbing then came back and was going to do some cavalettis. Then I thought I would lope some circles. Well I had left the gate open into the arena, and he just did not want to go in a nice circle. He kept veering towards the gate, throwing his head up and then way down. My son was here and happen to see him. HE fixed me up with a nice tool I had never seen used before. He got some nylon cord and tied it from one D ring on my saddle around the horses chest to the other D ring. then ran my reins under it. Sort of like a running martingale but according to Charlie a lot more effective and helpful at controlling their noses:) It helped a bunch:) What a good kid to help his ole mom.

He also noticed that I had a shoestring holding my back cinch to my front cinch. AFter I got done riding, he went and got my saddle out of the trailer and took it to the shop and fixed it with a nylon strap:). He told me he hadn't been that long ago he got turfed, and didn't want that to happen to me:).

Kind of nice to know someone's got your back:)
