He was trotting down the road slinging his head with ears flat while she would make him circle and circle and he would wring his tail and flatten his ears and start to crow hop and she would circle and circle, and he appeared to have the worst jarring trot I've ever seen, or maybe she didn't know how to post. He was so unhappy! I felt sorry for him! There just didn't seem to be any release from his discomfort or her lack of any attempt to try and figure why he was acting so bad! I would at least got down and tried readjusting some things! I offered at the break for her to try him in my sensation but she said no "my saddle is light enough" so i went into this long "well, I have an icelandic built similar to this but even narrower I think and there's no treed saddle will fit him" blah blah on and onnn she looked at me like she was very bored and like I was a new species of roach bug or something, then went over and started flirting with a man. soooo. I did my part haha. I just wish I coulda helped him but maybe I did! maybe I planted a seed and when she gets desperate she will try a new saddle. but it wasnt just that. I think he is really too fat! Do you?? I cant really tell but he isnt just huge and stocky like Tivar he seems to waddle... Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
