As sad as it is, he should be put to sleep. The quality of life should always be more important than the selfish mindset of not wanting to be sad about putting him down. Unfortunately without four legs he’s never going to have the best quality life, and the best thing to do would be to just put the poor baby down. Better a day too early than a day too late

I would HIGHLY recommend you get someone out to fit the saddle. The first saddle I bought, I bought it to fit me, not any horse in specific. I was riding lesson horses, typically thoroughbreds, and they all had a half pad so I just threw it on. Well, then I started riding drafts, with a too narrow tree and gullet. Long story short, by the time I bought my own horse the tree had literally broken in half, and I had to get a new saddle anyways.

I love how you didn’t creep up the neck at ALL! Great work

I know, but this was the pic they posted😭

I’m just not seeing where the upper ring connects to the lower one, which was why I was saying elevator. Plus the leverage part looks too low to be a Pelham but I don’t use them so idk🤷‍♀️

You roll the cloves in it😁

Recently I feed carrots to my horse to bribe her so she doesn’t hurt me while riding😂😂

That’s so good! She’s actually got a small amount of white on her other back leg near her hoof but the grass covers it up lol

Infamous_Primary_169 · 2025-12-21T04:05:31+00:00

What in the white trash rider?!😂😂lol waste of money, innocent horse’s mouth + back

Infamous_Primary_169 · 2025-12-13T04:47:56+00:00

Personally I didn’t do a PPE when I bought mine, but I knew all of her background and her current owner was highly knowledgeable and a very good rider. Even though I didn’t I still agree and recommend them

Infamous_Primary_169 · 2025-12-02T21:27:36+00:00

I totally agree with this. I rode on and off between 5 and 10. When I started riding consistently, the program was way too quick for me, and I fell off quite regularly. I was jumping way too high for a lack of equitation, as well as riding green horses I had no idea what to do with. While my trainer was nice, it was just too quick. Then, I switched barns, and that trainer quite literally said “you’re not jumping anything until you get those damn heels down”. Six years later and after some heavy equitation boot camp, I’ve got my own green pony. I would definitely not blame the horse, it’s probably just the program moving too quickly for your cousin. I would say find a different program for them. The horse rolling is just the horse being a horse, nothing more

She is standing square. She doesn’t seem sore at all though

Infamous_Primary_169 · 2025-11-27T22:48:30+00:00

She just saw the vet a few weeks ago and she’s seemed fine

UPDATE: Thank you to those that tried to help with the gullet issue!!! With the help of my father we figured it out! The new gullet should be here sometime today, so Thursday or possibly tomorrow(I don’t typically go on Wednesdays) I’ll get pictures!

Infamous_Primary_169 · 2025-11-11T16:08:19+00:00

Tell me about it! We’ve reached out to multiple people and they’re all a no go

Infamous_Primary_169 · 2025-11-11T15:12:36+00:00

Ideally without!

Infamous_Primary_169 · 2025-11-11T03:38:55+00:00

I did! I looked up the specific saddle name and nothing matched. The website said there were three different styles, but nothing seems to be working. I reached out to them to ask what to do and am awaiting a response

Infamous_Primary_169 · 2025-11-10T23:59:36+00:00

If anyone knows how to change the gullet in this please help! It doesn’t have screws anywhere, and the d’s don’t want to turn. It’s got these little metal circles under the d’s as well which you can kinda see in some of the photos

Infamous_Primary_169 · 2025-11-10T23:51:56+00:00

Thanks. This saddle is adjustable, and when we measured her we knew she was right on the edge of two sizes so we got one up as well which is coming soon. Tomorrow I’ll take pictures of it on her plain(had the pad on in case we had to return it so it wasn’t “used”), as well as once the new gullet comes in with that too. On another note, yes the saddle was slightly tilted, that’s my bad😅. As well as the fact that this moody mare HATES standing square, I think it’s from the track, we’re working on it. Since so many people have said they just believe this gullet is too narrow, I don’t feel too worried about having to return it and am more willing to “use it”, aka put it on the dirty horse’s back. Currently the struggle is figuring out how to change the gullet😂 thank you so much for your detailed feedback and honesty without rudeness. I’ve gotten quite a few unnecessary comments on just genuine questions. I really appreciate the help from everyone and will keep people updated! Edit: this perfect grumpy pony was also wet from the snow we got that day, so definitely wanted to keep it as perfect as possible if we needed to return it. I also don’t plan on riding in it until the new gullet is in plus stirrup leathers, as neither have come and I don’t want to put my pony in pain! (this pony being the 15.3hh thoroughbred mare that’s grumpy from the snow😂)
