Location: WYOMING | I need a new one thanks to my filly flipping over on my FAVORITE (and your favorite blvdgirl) saddle.
Anyone have one of those Sipsey saddles they have on their site?? The look nice. |

Location: Gainesville, TX | I don't have one of Donnie's saddles but I have looked at them several times. They are a very nice saddle for the money. I feel fairly certain if you bought one and didn't like it, Donnie would let you send it back. Donnie is usually in the store on Wednesday's; Mary usually the rest of the week. |

Location: WYOMING | Saddles are like old comfy shoes...I won this one at Joseys 100 yrs ago and it was the old, original Billy Cook...I wanted to retire it anyway and save it before it got too beat up...opppsss too late. Sipsey is a good store, I buy from them all the time. The saddle is definately affordable and looks nice for the money..I may give er a go!
I still have Street SLicks. He does live life in the slow lane but will definately kick it up a gear to run the pattern. Don't know how fast he can run (should be able to with his breeding as you know) but we will see next year. He will run the pattern but the SECOND it is over back to slow poke mode...I am giving him to my little boy (6 yr old) as a baby sitter next year after some futurities...Thanks for asking...he is bombproof already as a 3 yr old!
Sorry about your mare! She had nice babies...did the stallion stay in Florida?

Location: Oklahoma | Geronabean...don't know if you're interested, but I have a brand new (never been on a horse) NBHA trophy barrel saddle that I won at Drysdale's in September that I would like to sell...it's real pretty with silver lacing and plates on it...14" seat....I'd like to have $600 for it, but would negotiate. If you think you might be interested, email me at [email protected] and I can email pictures of it sitting on my barbecue grill!  |

Location: Florida | I have an old original Billy Cook that you're familiar with... My little one doesn't have a horse to stick it on now, and I'm sure she would let you borrow it if you have some upcoming races... |

You sure can....I'm too far away to dispute your word (but I wouldn't anyway)...I just thought since your murdered saddle was a trophy saddle, you might want to replace it with another one. If they ask me, I know nothing, I say nothing!!  |

Location: WYOMING | Giddy HOW NICE (espcially knowing there is a serial saddle murderer loose at my place)! I think I am familiar with that saddle. I do have two other saddles I can use though. Thank you so much. I just usually haul 3 ponies and it is convenient to have 3 saddles!
I get Blvdgirls NFR champion saddle when she wins it...I can wait.....(me tapping my fingers)...
Diane you know how sneakie us FL people can be....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!I'll email you later (and pm you Zips)

Thank GOD he didn't do it this time. He's already murdered her stall fan and her fence. I was really worried that he got ahold of her saddle too. Giddy, did Bean tell you what Spottie did? After he got his teefies done we turned him and Ready out in the pasture. He kept loping around and around. The dentist guy's horse trailer was parked out in the middle with the back open... THAT'S RIGHT! He loaded himself up it! He is so nosey.....must get that from Beanie. |

Location: BFE, Florida | I sold the stud to a guy in GA about a year ago and I was a little disappointed to see him advertised on the flahorse site two weeks ago. Sonoita is a real easy goin good guy... but when it came to runnin a drum.. well heehee I coulda got off and ran the pattern faster. And his mama was about an honest 3D mare.. not real fast but very consistant. We hated that we lost her in such a terrible way. But good to know Slicks is doin well.. I know you got him when he was a lil fella so congrats on the patience & commitment! |

Location: WYOMING | Even if SS doesn't run a lick he has a home. Hubby and kid can putter around on him and I have NOTHING to worry about! (Hope he runs though!) I would be happy if he made me some cash as a 1D'r or a 3D'r...$$$ is $$$ after all! |
