Yesterday I fit Bourbon with his new saddle. I bought a Sawtooth Synthetic Goat Packsaddle and pads at the Rendy. I really like the rigging on this saddle. It has the traditional wood saddle with a synthetic rigging. The rigging is very similar to the one I used when driving my horses and competing in Combined Driving Events.
Bourbon just stood there, chewing his cud, while I adjusted everything. You can see he has a big lump of cud in his mouth! He also had a pedicure and a deep brushing.
I did have a scare yesterday. I was trimming his chestnuts and cut too much off of one. It bled a lot but finally the Kwik Stop powder stopped the bleeding. I'd never had that happen before. I'll be more careful in the future! Other than jerking when I cut it Bourbon stood still while I worked to stop the bleeding and held a Kwik Stop Pad against it. He's such a good boy!
This time of year my goats only get pasture - no hay. Their pasture used to be part of one of our hay fields. As you can see in the picture, Bourbon is a little rotund!
