Musical saddles

 Although they're both short, wide mustangs, Olive and Winslow have different backs. 

Despite that, I thought her saddle would fit him, and it did, mostly.

Recently, however, I noticed some hair wear in his loin area. It's behind the edge of the skirt, but still, I don't like that. I decided to dust off Olive's first saddle, a hoop treed Duett, to see if that was better.

I kind of hate this saddle, so of course, it fits him perfectly.

We did this for a while.

Then Winslow's mom - and her very nice Wade saddle - came for a visit.

She went home, but the saddle stayed with me.

I rode in it for the first time today. 

Happily, it's a perfect fit for both of us and a lot more comfortable than that Duett!
