Alfie and I enjoy Western riding. Last year we had an accident at a show when Alfie fell over and I got my foot stuck in the stirrup. He panicked and kicked out a lot of times, breaking my arm, now fixed with two plates and 12 pins - a big deal for me. This blog is a diary, started 7 months on, to record our efforts to re-build our relationship. This is intended mainly as a record for myself, but if you enjoy reading it too, welcome to our site!!!

Alfie's new saddle
This is Alfie's beautiful new saddle. It has been custom made for me by Northwest Saddlery in the USA and is a Flex core saddle with no wooden tree. I have tried on more than 20 saddles and never managed to find one that doesn't dig in poor Alfie's shoulders. He has very little wither and is quite wide so is hard to fit. Hopefully this will do the job. It is my forever saddle and cost a squillion pounds! It is also a bit of a psychological boost for when I can ride him again. A new saddle for a new start - can't wait to sit on it!!! Currently looking at it in the bedroom!
