Another late entry into the "other life" question: I am a retail store manager. 
Sound dull? Here's the good part: It is a PET SUPPLY STORE/ TACK SHOP You 
would not even BELIEVE the discount I get - the owners are very generous that 
way. And I need it, as I have 5 dogs ( 1 retired racing greyhound, 1 whippet, 3 
Italian greyhounds), 3 cats, 2 parrots, and one fjord. I also do italian 
greyhound rescue, so the # of dogs can goes up sometimes.
I have the honor of working with someone who has been in the tack industry her 
whole life, and is an award winning saddle designer. She is teaching me many 
things about horses, the horse industry, and exactly how all this tack fits and 
works together. She is very good with fjords, and if any one wants proof that 
you can indeed get a custom Billy Cook saddle that fits a fjord like a glove, 
you can see a good picture of Britta being ridden by my trainer at the bottom 
of this page: www.midwestigrescue.com/brittahoof  Ignore the stuff about her 
hooves - it is a page I am doing for my young nieces who are all taking riding 
lessons and I am trying to do a little long distance education.  Britt was a 
bit hoof-challenged when I got her a year ago, and I am trying to show them the 
importance of correct trimming. And yes, I know she is a bit chubby. 
Unfortunately, she has become one of the top two mares in her drylot and now 
she is getting a little too much time at the round bale as a!
  result. She's on a diet, though!
