Had a great ride today. We had to trailer about 30 miles to get out of the snow but had a very scenic ride on the cliffs overlooking the Snake River coming out of Swan Valley, ID. We worked our way down one of the canyons to the river so the dogs could drink and swim and we had a little lunch. My seat shrinker pad works great and kept my shrunken butt firm in the saddle even with a little "spring fever" behavior from my horse.

Are you LOVING your life yet??? Great pictures -- beautiful ride!

How amazing...I can't wait until my bed sore on my tailbone heals so that I can go horse back riding again...It has been my dream to ride again in the future!

awesome for you. I was thrilled to start riding my horse again after I started losing, however my saddle is too big now. where would I get a seat shrinker?

Ahh I'm so jealous ! My horse is up for sale because he has decided he refuses to be ridden anymore and his "I'm a giant draft I can do what I want " attitude has kicked in. Trying to convince myself it's time for a normal sized horse! Hoping to finally ride this summer but horse prices up here are insane right now! I still feel I will crush any non draft horse I sit on , hopefully I can get past that feeling!!

Wow great pictures it looks like a beautiful place to live. My current goals: run a 5k and get back on a horse. Hope to do both within the year. Thank you VSG!

Gorgeous pictures! I haven't ridden in so long. I miss it! Thanks for sharing.

I don't remember where I ordered mine from. I just googled seat shrinker and went with the best price I could find (around $80 with shipping) The one I got is made by Martin. It's made for a western saddle, but fit my aussie just fine. It's actually pretty comfy.

And may all of you be back in a saddle soon!

So envious! Amazing pics!
