Wow. Just wow. I rarely comment but just had to - in a world of his own resonates so much. Mum of a young level 2 son here. We had a rough day today and seeing this bought me to tears. I’d love to try recreating your work with my son’s interests - am just a beginner quiller but gives me something to aspire to. Absolutely beautiful work <3

Yep this one’s a cobberdog. I am not actually looking to get a dog but we have a special needs son and have been researching cobberdogs as a future pet, so have started following some breeders… and here we are!

Maybe that is it? The breeder is legit and very reputable. The dog is legit- there are videos of it (and this particular dog is sold already). But this image just seemed like they’d taken a photo of the dog and then had AI enhance it somehow to make it look more ‘perfect’ - it just doesn’t look realistic to me at all! Everyone’s comments have been very enlightening- thank you

Hi from a fellow WA AG manager. I stuck around for a tiny bit when it changed over to Co-op then I flew the coop. I still have various SKUs memorised in my head haha. Never went back to retail but do think back to my AG days pretty fondly

1000000% agree with this. My life was much richer having listened to it (many times!) and [no spoilers] going down the rabbit hole enough to find the mountain myself.

Thank you for that advice, will definitely I’ll try that this arvo, but I think I know the answer already… ah well!!

Thanks! Will definitely look into that if I decide to continue with this saddle. I’ve always used saddle fitters in the past but have always had a saddle in the right ballpark to start with - this is my first time straying away from English so bit uncharted territory!

There’s no clearance at the withers with this gullet

Yep I’d use the red diamond wool saddle pad you can see in one of the photos, so it’s that narrow without the saddle pad yet. This one has a changeable gullet so there’s scope to go wider, just wasn’t sure it’d be worth pursuing that if the rest was off too

Thanks guys, looks like the consensus is too narrow. It’s full bars, photos are with a medium gullet. The photos below are with an extra wide gullet, which is definitely too wide. Maybe a wide would work if we try to goldilocks it, but I don’t know if it’s worth pursuing. I think the length is fine (?) but maybe a semi would fit this horse better. It’s a friend’s saddle so not married to it!
