even good horses have bad days sometimes.
its good to have dimensions in either 10 feet or 12 feet increments,
then off the shelf standard panel gates will fit the sides/openings if
you ever want to. We paneled off a 12x12 section of our pole barn for
feed and stuff. Ours is also 24 x 36.

They are rodents. Family- Hystricidae (just learned that). They are
distantly related to hedgehogs.
Beavers are rodents as well and are the only living members of the

I dont know about that brand saddle but if you are set on getting a
flex panel orthoflex makes new shorter more flexible panels that are
20-21 inches and they can grind off the rear of the saddle itself and
put the leather back over it and that makes it where there is an

It's not really a "memory foam", but some kind of black colored high tech

padding systems or Treefree uses in it's panels. It is som
So far I like it and Deacon seems to like it as well. He has been
fairly loud about his complaints to saddles in the past (i.e. won't
stand still for saddling or mounting) so I am definitely watching him
for signs. Deacon is wide, but fairly long in the back for an Icelandic.

Yes, I found the same issues with the Fhoenix, that's why I stopped
