Took Bandit up to the local tack shop and had the owner check his saddle fit. Buds draft saddle fits him the best, then my Wade tree, the one i had for Ginger is pinching his shoulders and i think that is why he started tossing his head everytime I would saddle him. He was expecting pain. I also learned I was placing the saddle too far back of his shoulders, so once the cooler weather gets here, hopefully this weekend, I will try positioning the saddle better. I also picked up a breast collar to hook to the saddle. This winter I want to try skijoring with him or pulling something or someone behind him and I dont want it pulling the saddle back. Hopefully next year I am going to try to teach him to drive. I need to ride him some more and work with leg yields, side pass, etc... Hopefully it will be a mild winter and no ice so I can get some riding in...
