Hi Nanno,
Thanks for the welcome and for your advice on pack saddles. The two wethers I'm wanting to pack are not very wide - the large Togg is quite angular. On the other hand the British Alpine, although slender at the moment, will broaden out across his back quite a bit, I think.
Out of interest, do you use the Rookie version (as opposed to Sopris' larger, lumbar version) because you have a young or small goat or is that just your preference? The lumbar version seems very expensive so that does put me off somewhat - however the Sopris website said they recommend the Rookie version for smaller goats so I had discounted that as a possible choice for mine. But if I could get away with using the Rookie I'd probably buy that model, at least to start with.
I'm typing this during the first decent rain we have had for many months - it's wonderful to hear it on the tin roof!
