New Saddle Pad and New Horses

Cody's new low back pad

I broke down and went to Fleet Farm to find Cody a new saddle pad to fill in some of the gap from his lower than normal back. The chiropractor suggested that maybe if the saddle keeps slipping back it could be causing some issues with Cody's back. So it was time to bite the bullet. I found a saddle pad that someone must have tried on their horse and not liked so it was marked down by about $15 or so. I did try and ride on Sunday but it was hot and sticky and Cody was feeling lazy as can be. He still had troubles with tracking left but he wasn't trying and apparently I wasn't either so we called it a day and just tried his new pad on.

Ready to go

J&J came home with a new team of Clydesdales so they hitched them up and we all went for a ride around the block. Sounds like the plan to keep Logan but he needs some time to recuperate from his weird horse shoe issue. They might then keep him and one of the new team but they were a pair at the sale so they ended up with both for now. The bigger of the two horses has blue eyes which I've never seen in a Clydesdale before. I think Logan is happy to have some friends in his pasture. He apparently owns the waterer though and frequently chases the brothers away from it.
