Feb 11 - Saddles and Feed

Since I won't have wifi on the trail, I am experimenting with blogging from my phone instead of the laptop!  It's a little harder using my thumbs only and proofing will be more of a challenge, but it's time to dive in!  I was unable to use Blogger Mobile but I was able to set this up to send an e-mail with a photo!  Pictures coming to you from the trail soon!

Cindy reports that she has loaded 13 bales of hay in the converted "stall turned feed room" of the trailer!  She was going to take a picture, she said, but was afraid to open the door again once she got it stuffed full!  It is jam-packed!  There wont be much grazing time for the horses next week so we have to carry a lot of food for them!

Cindy has also oiled the saddles and they look beautiful!  I have attached a picture so you can see what a traditional Columbian saddle looks like.  It is neither an English nor Western saddle but more closely resembles a US Cavalry McClellan saddle!  The head tack is different, too.  I will cover that a different day!  I made my own saddle bags and will include that picture soon.  Leatherwork is my craft and I make lots of different types of custom pieces.  You can see the photos of my work on Facebook at "Shallow Water Designs"!
