And most horses seem to LOVE them!FZAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11769818831464552021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339321308717215115.post-91479701113766870912010-09-10T16:53:09.097-04:002010-09-10T16:53:09.097-04:00That Ollie-Boy sure is a looker!

Just gorgeous! <br /><br />That's great that the new saddle seems to be working out. I certainly knew zilch about saddle fitting when I was a kid, and I shudder to think about what some of the lesson horses I rode were subjected to. I applaud your thoroughness in finding something that works for Ollie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339321308717215115.post-2581808744728201112010-09-10T07:54:15.941-04:002010-09-10T07:54:15.941-04:00@ Carol - I really did give him tums.

So it's like a treat that helps him too! At least I think it helps him. Seems like he was much more comfortable after he ate them.<br /><br />@ Frizzle - Thanks! I think Ollie responds better when I'm smiling than when I'm tense and angry. He settles down much quicker. So keep smiling! LOL!<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments on our wedding photos. We are a very happy couple!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564627110822414614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339321308717215115.post-59061998868437725062010-09-10T00:56:28.433-04:002010-09-10T00:56:28.433-04:00Hey, he's doing a nice sidepass there.

Lateral moves already! :-P I love that you're smiling at his naughtiness, though (and it looks like Ollie's smiling, too, lol).<br />Oh, and I looked at your wedding pics -- you guys look like quite the happy couple! And your dress and shoes were gorgeous -- I love the rhinestones on the sandals.Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339321308717215115.post-70684681684496132852010-09-09T22:04:08.814-04:002010-09-09T22:04:08.814-04:00He's gorgeous.

Is it because they taste good to horses or because it helps their stomach?Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207626703988850059noreply@blogger.com
