Those are some great pics, Becky. I especially like the one of him rearing up between the trees.

I'm wiped out. I rode Levi yesterday and I've found that if I ride him, the next day I'm sore as anything, so I can't ride him two days in a row. Maybe I'm just not made of stronger stuff, but I think it's because he's so wide... or something. Plus, yesterday we did a lot of sitting trot and bending so that he was in the typical dressage frame. But when you're doing that in a sitting trot, and you've got all of that front end in your hands, and he just doesn't want to give to you, it really, really does a number on your abs. I'm so sore today that I couldn't even think of getting on him this morning, so I got on Oliver instead and just walked around the property and out in the woods. But when all is said and done, I'm going to have abs o' steel! ;-)

I know what you mean...when I got the new saddle for Harley, it took me about a month to adjust to the wider seat...it does make you sore. But you’ll get use to it after a while if you keep riding him. Every other day is a good.
