Can't you do a deal with TC where he gets all his home needs looked after in return for him earning the money? That is what my hubby and i do and it works perfectly for us. He gets to just come home and relax and I get to be at home with my dogs and creative projects, so everyone wins. I know one needs to be lucky enough to have enough money coming in from one wage, but if you can do it, it is very very good and worth a little economising in returrn for better quality of life for everyone..

That is wonderful...enjoy the ride. Wow, fantastic news about Sassy! Let's hope you can continue to make progress with her, and she just keeps feeling better. The saddle shop sounds like a great plan, especially if there's not much in your area. Keep me in mind if you get a decent, used ranch saddle. Ideally, I'd like a Wade (or similar) type tree, nice deep seat with rough-out seat and on the fenders, slick-type forks and darker leather in color...oh, and wide leather stirrups. Lastly, not overly heavy...I'm like the old grey mare. Not what she used to be. I'm so happy that you're happy and things are looking up!!C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-73376591100822910462014-08-06T18:11:08.345-07:002014-08-06T18:11:08.345-07:00Wow, big changes!

Way to go! <br />I like Cut-N-Jumps suggestion to give each saddle purchaser the option of nylon of leather, and length of cinch. If you keep a variety on hand but not on the saddles, they can select what they need. As you get more well known you'll get people consigning their tack, if that's what you want to do- just be selective so you don't fill your shop with junk that you can't sell.<br />Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-40382133302274161202014-08-06T14:15:23.240-07:002014-08-06T14:15:23.240-07:00Sounds like things are all fitting together nicely...Sounds like things are all fitting together nicely for you. How awesome is that?<br /><br />Yay Sassy! It makes perfectly good sense that they can have an injury here and be sore there from compensating from the pain. Been there, seen that and done it myself too.<br /><br />A suggestion on the saddles and rigging. Have both nylon and leather on hand as well as an assortment of cinches. I prefer leather latigo's while others love nylon, some like string cinches, others want the neoprene... Different lengths of cinches helps too. If someone can buy a saddle that has the rigging they like and the length/type of cinch they need/want- Happy Campers! That's your goal.

They are always trying to tell us something, if only those horses could talk :)<br /><br />I kinda wish I'd get laid off from my job too--it'd give me the kick in the pants to get going on some things that I've been putting off--like finishing some projects and opening our place up for boarders, like you're doing. I looked at your FB page and what beautiful country you get to ride in! It sounds like you're on the verge of new and profitable ventures and that you're going to get to do the things you love to do every day, that's SO awesome!L.L.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942771779406180758noreply@blogger.com
