I am so excited. I finally found a saddle I can afford and will fit my Icey with a slight modification.I got a nice Wintec with a wide gullet for $200. I tried the extra wide gullet and it fits nicely with a perfect sweat pattern and he likes it. Only thing is, I need to have my own

I want to share my first experience with doing a trace clip on my Icy. I'm embarrassed to say, I left a few bald spots--one on his chest--thank goodness I don't use a breast collar and the other is in front of his leg--thank goodness it wasn't under his armpit. I doubt the bald spots will
