This message is from: Kristie Strange gibsong...@gamewood.net I have a Wintec c.c. on loan and I'm going to try it this afternoon. It already has the widest gullet installed, so that should give me some idea. I have also considering getting the dinosaur Crosby repaired and reflocked. I'm

Re: Thorowgood saddle

This message is from: Kristie Strange gibsong...@gamewood.net I tried the Wintec close contact today and it seemed to fit her ok. I used the extra wide gullet. The saddle was VERY comfy to me. I'm not crazy about all that padding underneath the cantle, but that seems to be trendy

Re: pulling shoes

This message is from: Kristie Strange gibsong...@gamewood.net Well I rode Izzy today and she was GREAT! Met up with some friends and we stayed mostly on dirt and in fields and she did just fine without her shoes. We even cantered some in the field. She bucked a little at first, but we

This message is from: Kristie Strange gibsong...@gamewood.net I had my four year old's shoes pulled this week (she was only shod on the front). We're going to try it for the winter, in case it snows, I really want to ride in the snow without worrying about iceballs in her feet. But if she

Very clumsy 4 year old

This message is from: Kristie Strange [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it fairly normal for a 4 y/o Fjord to be VERY clumsy? My Izzy has days where she's pretty good on her feet, but also days where she can't seem to stay upright.She trips a LOT. I've been told that young horses are especially
