Put Cyn's saddle on... As round as she's gotten I was pretty sure his saddle would be too narrow with this big thick pad under it... we even looked at a couple thinner felt pads at the tack shop yesterday to see what was available... but I think it's OK, don't you? It's still in good shape, but it's thick. I think it has at least an inch thick felt inside it.
Cyn being witchy about ecurbh handling her belly. She finds it very personal and dances and swishes around some. It's one of her bitchy things she does, but ecurbh just sticks with her till she quits...
LOOK at this shared look between them. ;~)
Much better, even though Bay is NOT helping. ;~)
Then she got clipped, which she is very good about...
Then they stood tied for awhile.
I even climbed on Bay while ecurbh unloaded hay, and walked him around the yard. He felt strong and ready to go... he didn't gasp when I got on or anything! ;~) Felt good. Ecurbh didn't ride, the hay knocked him out. But I think Cyn's ready to go too, with the exception of not liking her belly rubbed, she was an angel :~) Even seemed cheerful at times to be out and doing something. :~)
