Buckskins are one of my favorites and he has beautiful coloring. <br /><br />I think it's odd how they change color with the seasons. Dusty is such a light dapple palomino during the winter but come spring and summer she turns a dapple brown. I find that odd and don't really know why it happens. I'd have to read up on it somewhere. It's so nice that Harley has a wither, wish my two quarter horses did.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-42351996983385477432012-05-20T21:08:55.264-04:002012-05-20T21:08:55.264-04:00Harley looks so handsome all shed out!

I have been reading along, so I ...Thanks, Annette!<br /><br />I have been reading along, so I knew why you were using two pads. The Skito pad that I recommended would not put extra bulk on top of the withers and it was reasonably priced, around $60, when I bought one. The pad is designed for exactly the fit issue, which you described. I have used it under a jumping saddle and a friend borrowed it for use under a western saddle. Both horses (and their riders) were very happy with the pad arrangement! It was too good a thing not to mention.<br /><br />http://www.skito.net/prod03.htm<br /><br />See the "Shoulder Bridge Combination". My trainer recommends Skito and always carries a spare half pad with her.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-80878364196400949932012-05-20T16:39:53.796-04:002012-05-20T16:39:53.796-04:00just posted a picture of him on my blog that shows...just posted a picture of him on my blog that shows off his colour dapples arent as easy to see as its not that sunny! xxAmberRose- Girl With a Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985661554315096806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-15002968449787619672012-05-20T16:32:02.907-04:002012-05-20T16:32:02.907-04:00Will take a picture and put it on my blog when I n...Will take a picture and put it on my blog when I next go up to see him (when my hand's healed a little bit) its ever so subtle its like a dappled chocolate colour looks stunning but is only properly seen when the sun is out will look if i have a picture now :) <3AmberRose- Girl With a Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985661554315096806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-21053892675552993902012-05-20T16:29:14.031-04:002012-05-20T16:29:14.031-04:00That is really good news!

The problem with Winston is that he is very narrow so I need bulk. Using two pads takes care of that problem. I don't want to invest in a new trail saddle and this works. Hopefully, he will bulk out with age and work and eventually I won't need both heavy pads.Oak Creek Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875705582058188289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-21195737326847463062012-05-20T11:47:21.444-04:002012-05-20T11:47:21.444-04:00It is wonderful to hear about your first horse and...It is wonderful to hear about your first horse and a buckskin, too.
