Not sure I'm in love with it, but it will do...thoughts? It's not top drawer, but what I could afford.....and it's not too heavy LOL yes, she is going back to work! Hasn't had anything done in a year, she stood untied while I saddled and fussed around her....she is my girl :-)
there is a lot of freaking puffy fleece - I'm sure it will flatten ;-) but I think it's okay from the side? minus the crappy blanket maybe? and the back

Thanks gals - can't wait to actually ride in it! Hubby hurt his ankle yesterday so he couldn't help me with her, I think she will be fine but I want him beside her when I get aboard :-) She hasn't been ridden since last August....Thanks Joan for the input re fit: I lunged her in it and it didn't bounce around, I put weight in the stirrup and it stays put, so I think it will be okay? Although it did start to creep up her neck a little.... I may try Arrow's pad on her tonight, it has that built up shoulder area.

Oooh! Fancy! I like the added powder puff batting underneath! Comfy indeed.
We were both in a tack buying mood! I just got a bridle and breast plate that would match that saddle PERFECTLY.
