i find some odd thing the fjords will do naturally. like climb stairs up to a porch or deck, perfectly comfortable in their perch, walk patiently thru drifts up to their chest. i would like to find a better fitting saddle also. what i have been using, as I ride more,doesn't do the mare justice for her comfort. We get by, really good saddle pads. try to be as upright and balanced as possible. i thought the Eli Miller for a gaited horse was pretty good, and it is thru the shoulders but not in the back where it tends to perch a bit while throwing my weight towards the back. If i let my weight go to the back, the saddle digs. talk about suck it up, w. a pelvic tuck and legs loose and the back soft and it is dressage all over again. while sitting here thinking about it, if we both lost weight it would help. kiss.
