That time of year is looming.. haha.. We always have some issue with the weather..
Anyhow, I've found this concoction effected at repelling those damn flies.. make in a 1 litre squirty bottle!

As effective as any purchased equine fly spray …

Such a sweet mare..

A very different approach until I'm back on board.. keeping little MaiZee's brain ticking over and building some topline, as she is very weedy and upside down.. and very sweet!

Ps .. I'm very happy & proud of her, as it used to take 4 hours to catch her! 🤣🤣

Why doesn’t having an adjustable gullet saddle fix all your problems?

Unfortunately most adjustable gullet saddles have a gullet shaped like picture A so while they will go really wide there’s only a small contact point with your horse so they will be quite unstable. This is why you keep ending up changing gullets, put simply your trying to put a square plug in a round hole so it will be either too big or too small but will never be a perfect fit.
If your horse is shaped more like an orange 🍊 😂 then they need a saddle with a gullet shape that matches their back shape ( gullet B)you will then find even if your horses weight fluctuates a bit your saddle will still be an ok fit, if you put a round plug in a round hole it will either be a bit tight a perfect fit or a bit slack but in any of these cases will still look a better fit than a square plug in a round hole.

I know there will be people out there that love their changeable gullet saddle this is only my opinion, but a picture speaks a thousand words 😉
