Riding Buster and Stuff

If I don't post this now, I never will! 

Buster is doing great! I love riding him. His forward momentum depends very much on where his buddies are... We need to work on that. I think ground driving comes next. I still need to introduce the bit too. 

We've been playing with saddle rigging. I definitely like it better with 2 cinches one set far back to hold the saddle back. I had to order 2 new latigos, this setup with the rear cinch straps doesn't work well. I also sized my britchen to him finally. Man, I hate to Conway buckles.

I gotta go, the farrier is coming but enjoy the pics. Check out my new duck's feet below. It only took me a couple weeks to notice how cool they are.

  1. That Buster is a sweetie, he reminds me of my Ben and you can't go wrong there!

  2. Sounds like he’s the perfect fit! Do donkeys stay somewhat furry throughout the year?

    1. They usually shed out around July and then start hairing up again shortly after. I have been really tempted to try to clip him but I don't think my clippers could handle it. :( Poor guy is hot and his hair gets caught when I cinch him up.
