I would have to go back to my posts but it seems like it has been about two months. It was a little before Frog's stray showed up. He was found laying on the side of the road in a ditch. He was covered in his own feces and couldn't get up. I don't know how long he had been down or wandering but he was skin and bones with scapes and bruises everywhere and a bad cut on his front leg.
Well, I got the saddle on...whew, it's a chore. It took 3 times to get everything on straigth, mainly because he kept wanting to eat the grass. I put my saddle rack out by my mounting rock. By standing on the rock and having the saddle up on the rack I could throw it up there with one hand. But I had to hold the lead rope with the other to keep him still. The blankets kept getting all crooked before I could get the saddle on...
I'm sweating like a hog now:), so I'm cooling off for a few minutes. It won't hurt him to stand tied out there:).

And no one ever claimed him? I just cannot imagine loosing one of mine and not searching for them. Makes me want to brand my phone number on their butts!
