I love horses and it's always so depressing to see them too skinny and look like they are going to tip over. That’s great that the horse is finally gaining some weight.

You will have such fun decorating it. I love the tree and day lillies outside. Good luck. Seems you and Ace are moving forward and making wonderful progress together. As for the saddle fit, my guess is you will figure out the problem and fix it. Congratulations on buying your first home. You will have such fun decorating it.

As for the wither rub...if the saddle slid back it isn't fitting him all that well. Can you change the flocking and the tree's in English saddles like you can with dressage? If not have you tried a sheepskin half pad? They have a knock off one in Stateline Tack for under $20. What good updates all around!!!

Sounds like things are going very well once you got over that "forward" hump. I'm hoping to be there soon with Gabe. We still haven't ventured out of the arena yet, but I think as long as he has a buddy in the beginning it will all be just fine. As for the saddle rubs...I don't know if it's in your budget but you might consider looking at investing in a cut back saddle. Those are wonderful for horses with shark-fin withers, well, for all horses in general, but especially for those who are well-endowed in the withers department. Grats on the house! Keeping my fingers crossed that it passes the inspection. We had to actually invest in fixing some things on our house before they bank would approve the mortgage. The sellers refused to spend the money to fix a few things and we wanted it bad enough so we just ended up doing it ourselves. Good luck! Excellent!
