I had my new western saddle on Hazel today and she was fantastic. She neck reined great and stopped fairly well with loose reins. My trot was appalling!! but i got her to lope better than i thought and steadied her down. Hehe. Sorry i know this irrelevent but it was a good day. 
and oh god my legs, ouchee. Ridden for 15 years straight, thought i was over the whole leg achey stage.
