Michael and I welcomed our son, Keaton James Brown to the world last week 💙 We are settling into the newborn routine and enjoying getting to know our little boy more each day. He is already very strong and happy 😊 We are so grateful for our friends and community who have been so caring and supportive. 🥰 Special shout out to Meaghan and Barbara for keeping the horse’s training and riding going while I’ve been out of the saddle. 💕

Let’s Talk: How Often Do You Check Your Saddle Fit?

Be honest 👇

A) Only when there’s a problem
B) Once a year
C) Every few months
D) What even is saddle fit? 😅

Here’s the truth:
Horses change.
Muscles develop.
Weight shifts.
Saddles settle.

Fit is NOT a one-and-done situation.
