well, i think i've sorta figured out that his girth pad is to short. with help from paint crazy, that is. he's thickened up some and i believe the girth was pinching him behind his elbows. anyhow, PC turned me on to a 100% mohair cinch. i'm still looking for one right now as all the tack places around here only carry nylon, or nylon mohair blends. looking at one on ebay right now so soon as i get one, we'll see how he does.

oh, and the ugly in the picture ain't so hard to miss. it's right there on the right, on top of that spotted horse. of course, cisco's so pretty he's got to make me look better. imagine how good he looks when i ain't riding!
