This appears to be a legitimate situation. Please contact the owner (see 
bottom for contact info) if you are interested in these horses. I do not 
have any involvement in this matter other than passing the word along.

Hello,

Terry Condon, a brother of my husband's co-worker, has several
horses and is unable to properly care for them. He said if they
are not able to find a new home for them asap, they will have to
have them put down so they don't suffer and starve.


Terry, is a fireman and works very hard. He had an unfortunate
accident in the Summer of 2010 where he endured a life
threatening brain injury. He has made a miraculous recovery and
is back to work, but his finances have suffered greatly. I'm
sure he is probably feeding his horses before himself, but there
is really nothing more he can do.


I understand the economic times are hard all around and it is
expensive to care for a horse, but if you or anyone you know has
room to add one or more of these beautiful creatures you would
be saving their life. I told Terry I would do what I can to get
the word out. Here is a list of the horses he has.

Saddles

I have an Ortho flex endurance (Patriot) saddle that has fit my horse very
well throughout the 10 years I have been riding him with his varying
degrees of fitness and weight. This is an "old style" Orthoflex made before
the company changed hands - I don't know much about the newer ones, but
have not heard great things about them. I also have an extra wide Stubben
jumping saddle that I picked up at a tack sale for $100 (!!!). For dressage
I use a Thornhill Klasse, extra wide that fits me and my horse perfectly.
Elph is more of a "riding style" Fjord. I think it is really important to
have a saddle fitter help you to get it right, as the horse's body type
and fitness and your body type (length of legs, etc.) make such a big
difference in how well a saddle works. I lucked out with the Ortho Flex
(ordered it online and when it came had my trainer assess it and found it
worked just fine) and the jumping saddle, but had the dressage saddle
fitted to us.

Tish and Elph in Minneapolis
little snow, weird winter! But lots of riding!
