    Mini Shetland Vs stable door

    Hi, we have recently taken on a mini Shetland. She's 17 and was used as a broodmare for 14 years. Not done much since. We're doing some ground work with her as she does have a few quirks.

    Help fitting western saddle

    Hi, I bought it off a lady from facebook. She said it was one from robinsons and it had only been on her horse twice. I'm north Manchester. If you know any fitter near me that would be a great help. I also have a blanket under his saddle. A western one which gets folded in half.

    Lol no he's not a welsh but I'm guessing there's some in there going off his face. His dad was a compact coloured traditional and his mum was a beast of a cob. Thanks I'll have a look for some with spf in.

    After some inhand showing advice for me and my youngster :)

    Thank you both so much, wasn't expecting such quick replies :D I've heard of burgundy pants going with bays???? Or would that be a bit too much? Maybe a brown or dark beige? Can't wait :D and the oil just a little bit to add some shine?
