High ridge,

Do you know when the next capture day is? I forgot!

I mean, maybe it'll help him and confirm it's allergies. :)

@Versa, he settled down and has not been acting stressed since Tuesday.

Unless he's crazy stressed about his new home, I don't see any harm in it.

We're just staying with family and I know they have vets in the area. It's just a hard decision for me because if I don't go I would be home alone with little to no human contact.

I am not comfortable boarding Finley or having someone come on watch him so he would have to come if I do go.

Hummingbird Meadows

06:01:01 Bird

@Athena, I was thinking the same thing! But also, what if it stresses him out and it makes him worse. 😖

Versailles

06:00:48 Versa

I had Thelma boarded a few times while I was away even with sneezing. They never rejected her stay. They aren't necessarily unable to travel with allergies, but it needs to be remembered that they should be taken home or to a vet in that area if it gets worse or if they seem ill

He gets things stuck in his curly hair.

Hey theres the chance taking him with you gets him away from whats causing it

Hummingbird Meadows

Maybe my dog is bringing it in from the outside.

Versailles

05:59:11 Versa

Well, that is kitty snot lol. Usually it's pretty wet. A good sign of a healthy nose, but it sounds like an outside allergen for sure!

Hummingbird Meadows

05:59:02 Bird

@Athena, nope, nothing like that. I was hoping to take him to Texas with me, but I feel like I can't with him sneezing.

Hummingbird Meadows

05:57:51 Bird

He doesn't have any eye or nose discharge. Just sneezes a lot. They are rather wet though because I have felt it when he sneezes on me. XD

Versailles

05:57:42 Versa

Before that, I removed all of my wax melters, changed to unscented cat litter, changed to dust free cat litter, and even got an air purifier... Nothing changed crap. Only the shots helped

Hummer
If you use body mist or anything scented on yourself it could also affect him but I'm with Versa with it being something outside. If its just sneezing id honestly just wait and see if it disappears as summer moves on

Versailles

05:56:42 Versa

The only thing that helped her were allergy shots. And even then, it only helped to a degree. She had FAR less snot, but still consistently sneezed, albeit less

Hummingbird Meadows

05:56:05 Bird

@Versa, did you treat it?

Versailles

05:55:56 Versa

Just depends on what pollens are in the air and, of course, which ones are in your areas as opposed to his prior home.

And then yeah, air fresheners of any type- even the "pet safe" wax melts

I have always had lower-end jumping saddles because I was a broke teenager and wanted to ride both disciplines and multiple horses. I now have settled on one horse and one discipline. So now I am selling older saddles I don't use in hopes of buying something a little nicer for the next show season. I am just very overwhelmed by all the options and everything I can find right now that I like is over my budget (even used)

So hit me with your favourite saddles!

This saddle shop has mostly Western, but they have some english tack too :D I love them because none of their saddles are imported, and they make their own tools to measure the saddle trees and whatnot so all the measurements are consistent across different brands. They also have really useful guides on saddle fitting :D

they also have a Saddle Recommender that I love :3

I would find an independent saddle fitter that can look at you and your horse and make recommendations based on that. Saddle fit is SO important and you don't want to mess it up.

I have a CWD and love it, but would personally steer clear of the company. Buy one used if it fits your horse- but the company and their custom saddles are notoriously awful with customer service and giving you a bad fit.

Would also avoid Tad Coffin. Again, lovely comfortable saddles, but any saddle company that claims it can fix kissing spine and your saddle needs a special half-pad to fix is probably full of shit.

Luc Childeric saddles are my personal favorite brand. Schleese is also very reputable.

I will definitely be getting a saddle fitter out but right now finding an independent one is proving to be tricky as I don't live in a "horsey" area. I just wanted to start looking into some brands myself to get an idea of what I should look at spending and what not. I don't know as much about english saddles as I do western so the only brands I can think of are higher-end ones like CWD and Antaries

Thank you for the brand recommendations though!
