The biggest project may start soon

Moved on to treats n saddle touching.
Who wants to get kicked first, any takers?
Lol

I volunteer @B&B Happy goats, she's pretty tough

I see you are still wearing footwear appropriate for being stepped on by a horse

Been messing with her, feeding while tossing on saddle now though, switched it from saddle first then treat.
Then, decided to play with a horse eating towel.
Oh, the tension!

Is it gonna fall off??

No?! Huh...

Food time, then.

Why do you do this to me...

My arm is tired just watching you!

Hah. I thought my arm would fall off the first day! Couldn't lift it high the next day.

Got foam padding glued on & did a quick session with it.
Shortened the fenders by 6 holes, too.
Got the stirrup over a couple times. 50 second mark, I nudge the stirrup over, she flinches a bit. Second time, a bit of a hump.

I trimmed out a channel for the fenders in the pads.

The saddle trees I have measure differently than what the manufacturer states.

I measured them as roughly-
Seat 14.5"
Handhold 6"
Gullet bottom bar space 11.5". Gullet bar length 5". Equals an angle of 90°.
Bar length 20"

They say-
Seat: 14 1/8″
Bar length 19″
Gullet angle Semi-Quarter Horse

Don't mention rock. Probably because they only have one shape for that.

I really need to learn how to make my own saddle trees.
