Somehow it doesn't fit him, really.<br /><br />Actually, hubby is jousting in breeches and Mountain Horse tall boots. He *loves* those tall boots. I think he'd wear them every day if he could! As for the breeches, he just finds them more comfortable than anything else - go figure.jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-54287789286994797852012-05-29T23:06:00.179-05:002012-05-29T23:06:00.179-05:00Justinian!

Fitting him in with the herd may be the most challenging part - our four have been together for over a year and are very clearly a herd, with Red as herd stallion. Justin is quite dominant and has a mean double-barreled kick.

When I was looking for Saga I rode about 10 horses, and I'd say about half of those were lame. It was depressing.

We are looking at a couple of options, but there aren't any easy answers.

But my five are all fitted in nicely--finally. But there will absolutely NOT be six. (I tell myself this every day--since my friend/boarder has a very nice black gelding he would love to move to my place.) Justin seems like the perfect horse for you guys--especially if he shows progress with the slight lookiness outside. Good luck (!)Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-77733621052314932472012-05-29T06:50:45.538-05:002012-05-29T06:50:45.538-05:00Very interesting!

It is hard looking for horses and I find we really wish we could take several home - just because they are sweet and you worry about where they will end up! But each one doesn't "fit" our needs... and so we move on. <br /><br />Your guy looks great and it will be fun to see how he progresses with riding out of the ring these next two weeks.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-50539183280847940872012-05-29T06:21:23.602-05:002012-05-29T06:21:23.602-05:00He's beautiful!
