Hi gemma, You and marigold look great together! Sounds like you had a really successful day, well done! Great you got it captured in photos. By the way, can i be nosey and ask what saddle you ride in?
Thanks.

Noblesteed - it's a Dartmoor treefree, Western model. Marigold and I both love it!

Thanks guys. Gem - I giggled at those ones too. Bless her, she was exhausted but still tried her heart out for me. She's a lovely mare - really honest, but only once she decides you're worthy!

Fantastic photos, I bet Tom would like one of those for his Treefree website - have you thought of telling him where to look? You look so cool and relaxed with your bosal, I don't see anyone else bitless, were there some? All you need now is a feather in Marigold's mane and a handprint on her bum

Good thought KAS - I'll point Tom in the right direction. BTW, I picked up a saddle pad from him and it seems to be working a treat. Lots of prolite padding and a good clear channel.
I saw a couple of people in a Dr Cooks but we were definitely in the minority!! TBH, I think we were a bit of a novelty to some people as we set off - I love proving people wrong.
If she has to wear a feather and a handprint, does that mean I have dress as a squaw?! Could be fun....!

Why not? I bet you get plenty of looks with your gear as it is, so why not just go for it? ;D

Interesting to see that you are cantering in both sets of pictures. What proportion is canter to trot/walk?
I wouldn't have know that was a treeless saddle, it looks really good.
