Saddles make me happy

I sold my donkey saddle about a week ago. It was hard to let go of, but I needed a saddle for Duncan, and I probably never will ride the donkeys again. (Now I'm thinking I need a cart and harness... Someday.) They are okay with just being pets.

Yesterday I found an amazing deal on a Crates saddle, so I drove all evening after work, on icy roads, and I got it.

Duncan doesn't seem to mind it at all. And I love how lightweight it is! I know lightweight means lower quality, but I'm cool with that. My back will thank me for it, especially when I throw it up there repeatedly for training.

Bella checked it out but she was muddy so I didn't try it on her. I'm guessing she's too wide for it.

I'm not ready to cinch it up yet, but he packed it around with a pad for a bit.

Scout was either just being a butt, or he didn't like it. That's ok, it's not for him.

It was too cold and windy to do much else outside today. I am eagerly looking forward to spring already.
