Saddle Saddle Saddle Saddle Saddle...what? Saddle Saddle Saddle Saddle Saddle

My saddle came in!  It gets delivered and fitted Wednesday night.  No more borrowing my trainer's saddle!  No more showing up for a lesson and having to wait until the person using the saddle is done.  No more trying to find shims for my half pad.  I am now the proud owner of a saddle.  Or at least as of Wednesday I will be.  Mostly I'm just dancing around chanting 'Saddle saddle saddle saddle saddle saddle' like a total freak.  But I don't care, 'cause I'll be a freak with a saddle.

In other news, the discussion on my last post was awesome.  I love hearing everyone's thoughts on the whole blogosphere thing!

Also, I only rode once last week due to a rash of people going in the hospital.  First my best friend, then my mom, then my dad.  All for unrelated things.  Everyone is now home and doing fine (fingers crossed) but I spent the last few weeks just trying to hold it together.  Yesterday was the first time I had ridden since last Sunday.  The pony was a star.

Here is a  cute picture of her and her new boyfriend, Prime.  Followed by some even more adorable pictures of the latest baby at the barn and her super sweet mama, Eve.

    Ohhh...new baby to watch and a new saddle for you! You are totally going to love having a custom saddle - I do not regret for a second buying mine (think Riva is pretty happy with it too!)

    Nothing like a new saddle -except for new expensive shoes that you've wanted for a very long time!

    Jessica - I ended up getting a Hastilow Custom Elevation. In theory, this saddle should fit almost any horse I buy since it has the adjustable tree. I worked with a local saddle fitter who was incredible.
