| 2009-07-07 | Diane | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks, it makes sense now. Maybe the diet is working. I have taken all three to saddle fitting clinics and they are remarkably similar even tho they are three different breeds. I do have three saddles tho. Guess it is the recent weight loss at the request of the blacksmith. |
