Had to get up early for saddle fitting. We are so tired . . . these shots are from our ride back from the barn Monday. A tired Jack is a good Jack! I have a pair.

Hurrah, hurrah!! The saddle fits Josie. I was worried I might have to get a new one or send this one out again but she is good to go for right now. We added the mattes pad without shims and it greatly improved the downhill affect. JA said it is hard to fit horses that a downhill you always have to do something. She also said there are two points on her shoulder that don't fit as well as she would like but she will fit her again in six months. I was able to utilize my legs to get Josie to respond to turns, etc. She does look very lovely. Pictures soon, right now her midsection still has winter coat. She looks a little funny. She is a real golden color almost palomino.

Let Josie hand graze for a few minutes. MMMMM fresh Spring grass. She didn't want to leave it.

It was very nice out but we took it a little easy for the remainder of the day.
