Well, on a wonderful Sunday morning around 9:00 am I was woken up because I desided that the night before I was going to ride Salty. And that is exactly what happened. I got him all tacked up, massaged the area where the cinch was going to be. He is still a bit cinchy but he is a lot better now then the first time I did him up. He doesn't move around as much, and he doesn't try to bite me, only when I tighten the saddle. But the western is a bit heavy for him, so my assumtion is that he was trained for English, he also responds more to the english reining, rather than the western. But he did VERY well and I was very surprised on how well he did. He took me and the saddle well, stood there while I got all sorted out and everything. He walks on, turns, whoas, and backs up. He does perfect!! But he was telling me to get off by doing little "bucks" if you want to call them that. But I am looking for a good english saddle that will fit him. Well, the ride was fun and exciting and I hope to get back on him soon. Here are a few pictures of our ride. I would have liked for my heels to be down, but the stirrups were a bit short for me. I have to lengthen them.

That is so awsome Brenna !
I hope that Salty will become a champion at something someday as he definitly has the look the judges always look for. :D If you are into the show thing.
lol Of course!! And if he is Egzalt, then he likely was already in the shows, he was a breeding stallion. I would like to do some shows with him :D
Thank you :D
