Welll phooey. Maybe I'll wait until my friend rides a few miles in hers. She had offered it to my daughter to use at an endurance ride. Abby decided not to borrow new tack even for the shorter 30 miles distance she planned to do. Her horse stepped into what seemed to be a small pool of water for a drink and then ended over his head in a horrific bog. Hers wasn't the only accident in this spot. Her saddle still isn't really clean (good thing she wasn't using a brand new borrowed saddle) and poor Smoke apparently re-injured an old tendon sheath injury and may be retiring. Abby is heartbroken. She really loves that horse, the first she's ever owned herself. They have such an amazing bond.
