You're lucky this time... there's no snow on the ground right now. But there will be, there will be. :-)
Our year was pretty normal until the day after Thanksgiving when it dropped 6 inches of snow out here. Since then we have had freezing fog, snow, record lows, more snow, ice and more snow. Weathermen tell us it's the worst since 1916. We usually have 360 days of sunshine. I don't think we've had 7 days of it in the past two months.
Good morning.
Cindy, No, Okies, never had a blanket on.

Mornin'.
I'm thinking of buying a dressage saddle. I don't want to spend a bunch of money so I thought I'd look for a good used saddle, as opposed to a cheap new one. I've been looking around on the internet, ebay and Bucks County Saddlery, and I haven't made a decision. For anybody interested, I've bought 3 saddles from Bucks County, one used cheapie kid saddle and 2 new Pessoa Rodrigos and they've always treated me well.
Good luck with that! Ever ridden in an english or dressage saddle before?
Good morning everyone!
Good morning everyone!~
This inexperienced rider HAS used an English saddle! LOL In fact when I came over here I was surprised at the difference with the western saddles. I prefer the western though as it makes me feel a little more secure!
OOps.hubby has stolen my post and logged in again!~ :(

Hah! I have taken over the computer again!.........Beware DeaconJim! This lass means business!~ : )
Well, good morning to both of you!
I've always ridden English... I prefer it for me... I like the saddles for their light weight and the feel of the horse compared to the older Western saddles that were so heavy and rigid. Newer Western saddles are much improved though! Lighter weight and closer contact, and you're right they are more secure for starting out, better handles to hang on to.
How are the mom, babe, and mom-to-be this morning?
Heh... to you both!
~sip~
I love dressage saddles. I think that they're very comfortable.
Good morning. 29 here and feels like 20. (*whimpers*)
Good morning, its a little cooler start here at 49. Brrr : 0 )
I used to think my grey horse was intentionally trying to be dirtier than everyone else! White horses are deliberate pigs, I agree!
We just got suddenly warmer... freezing rain yesterday and now it is 37 with 40's expected all week. Would be balmy but for the rain :~D
Well, I thought "if" she had her foal, she would look good in the photos..........she obviously doesnt give a what not what she looks like! Be prepared for one dirty grey?black? white? stubborn horse! LOL
Sure, rub it in guys, rub it in! :-D (Throws snowball) :-)
It will be in the 70s today.........I just know you all wanted to hear that!
Hey thanks! I needed to cool down some! LOL
