Those #@!% English Saddles!

When english saddles started showing up in the tack room at the ranch, Gramsie and Gramps did a fair amount of eye-rolling.

You see, we're ranchers. We move cows and such. Yet for some reason english saddles and other english tack started taking over the tack room, some even getting put away on top of western saddles that had been in the family for years. Gramps, especially, could hardly take it.

Then, at a jumping show, I noticed Gramps with a little bit of a smile. Just a bit. Was Gramps actually approving? As he and Gramsie watched Maddy and Moon sail over jumps the
smiles and twikley eyes came out. I think we've won them over.

And Gramps, thanks for making space for all those english saddles in the tack room.

I've always been a big fan of Maddy and Moon stories — imagine my delight to see them in blog form. Looking forward to regular updates and photos! (From a follower who wouldn't know much about English saddles and jumping without her great friend -- namely, the "Mom who loves horses." And who loves Maddy, of course.)
