The new saddle I ordered finally arrived today. I missed the UPS delivery and so had to drive up to Springfield to pick it up at the main facility. By the time I got to the barn it was too late to ride, but I popped Willow in the cross ties and did a preliminary check of the fit. Everything looks good! I can't wait to try it out for real tomorrow. Willow's had a week off waiting for the new saddle, so she'll likely be feeling frisky.
I put my Kieffer up for sale on Ebay and watched the thrilling finish of the auction late last night. Two people got in a bidding war and I ended up getting over $100 more than I expected. Bless you, Ebay.
Tomorrow's forecast: sunny, with temps in the mid seventies. It's been cold and dreary for so long that I'd just about lost the will to live. It's spring fever time!

so what is the new saddle
I bought a new Custom Saddlery "Advantage" model. Custom is Steffen Peters's brand, and I have a friend in Nebraska who has one and loves it. They're supposed to be great for high-withered horses. I got it from Dressage Extensions, and they have a generous test-ride program, which is awesome.
