Lovely Martin Wilkinson came out this morning to fit Fraser's saddle, and measured him at 17hh. Well fancy that... :p The credit card is feeling a bit faint, but Fraser now has a very smart Harry Dabbs saddle (secondhand), some non-stretch leathers and some flexi-stirrups. We just need to get a browband, some longer reins and a horseshoe and we are good to go! Mac rode him a few hundred yards up the track to test the saddle, and Fraser was as good as gold. It is a beautiful day here, and if it wasn't for the missing shoe they could have gone for a hack. Ah well... Will get his teeth checked first in any case. These photos were taken this morning, and illustrate the love-hate relationship with Toffee (note stable battering), the Dwayne Dibley haircut and his general gorgeousness. :)
