Actually, I am not sure if she can actually put her feet in a stirrup..I have a great Paralli bareback pad that would keep her secure at the walk. We will experiment.

Re: My winter challenge
This message is from: woodberryfa...@comcast.net Genie, Last year at this time I was diagnosed with Kidney cancer and had to have my right kidney removed. It was a rough time, and I have to tell you what a comfort it was to wrap my arms around my Roma and bury my face in that lovely winter fur. Though riding ended for many months, she was worth every penny that I spent on her during that time. She just seemed to know something was wrong and was especially sweet. When I was ready, I climbed back on and it was as if I had never had that bad time. Whenever you are feeling down, just go to the barn and sit with your pony. Just hearing them chew their hay is a joy to me. Good Luck on your surgery, and your recovery. Mary Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f
