So I went out to the barn to ride on Thursday and it didn't go exactly as planned. Lucas was hyped up due to the storm moving in. By the time I got him lunged and got on it had started snowing which meant that I needed to get off and put him away so I could get home before it really got to snowing. I only managed to do some walking and side passing before I got off and headed home. Even so it was a rough drive home in a tone of snow.
Today I went out and finished the barn chores (C and D had a meeting a few hours away that they had to go to). Because I was alone at the barn I decided lunge Lucas for a bit, then let him play in the indoor. He had a blast! The weather hasnt been good for them to have a good run outside so it gave him a chance to blow off some steam.
I also went and tried every western saddle we have in the barn on Lucas (well, every different brand we have as we do have a couple of the same type of saddle). Out of 5 saddles the only two the fit were the Penning saddle that I rode Lucy in (big horn), and one of the kids 15" billy cook barrel saddle. NONE of the pleasure saddles really fit him so I'm going to have C have a look at them tomorrow and see if I can ride in the penning saddle for a while. I know of a barrel saddle like the kids for sale but the person who owns it isnt answering back....
Anyways for now, here is a cute video of Lucas and his LOVE Tanker. And this is the 'omg your back!' ritual that goes on every time they are seperated!

Lucas and Tanker look like they really LIKE each other. It's so nice they're together again.
Hope you find a saddle soon. It's such a pain to find something that's just right for everybody concerned. Sorry to hear about the snow, we've been pretty lucky so far this winter. Only a few flakes here and there.
Cute video. We have had lots of snow and rain over the last few days. Today was very cold. I use a Billy Cook reining saddle and I find it quite comfortable. Hope you find one soon!
