Quote: You weren’t joking were you? You want an English or Western saddle? That big Appendix gelding makes an English saddle look like a spec from a fly.
I'm thinking about it. I'd love to get on a big thoroughbred cross. I'm more comfortable in english than western, but I found the perfect saddle in an Australian stock saddle with the flanges and no horn (kept me on the arab cross I rode as a teenager). My mom still has that saddle. It's her baby. It has cut away withers and might work on a thoroughbred, I don't know. Gosh it's been atleast 7 or 8 years since I've been on a horse!
I never mentioned that the riding lessons for S3 didn't work out. The third time we tried, he just got all weepy for some reason-I think he was just really cold. Actually the trainer suggested we let it go until summer and then see if he's more into it when it isn't so cold. So I still have the lessons package with her waiting to be used. There is a Yoga for kids activity coming up on Saturday mornings and I think I'm going to try that out with S3 soon.
I guess I am totally into extracurricular stuff, but my S is only 3 and I'm way ahead of him. I just want to start out sharing something with him so I have my time in when he hits the teenage I-don't-want-to-be-seen-with-you phase.
