Extraordinary Measures

I am the gal for whom you went to extraordinary measures to make sure my saddle fit me better and we did a trade to get the right size. Today, after not riding much due to my illness, I went out and decided that I was going to ride in my Rubicon—despite not using it for the past few months.  I thought to myself that I should really sell this saddle since I am not riding as much and I could use it for medical bills etc.  Well, I got the saddle on my boy and hopped on it— I had the MOST wonderful ride.  Not only did he move so fabulously in it but I almost forgot how good I feel when riding in it— we were like one.  I came home with a lot of energy that I have not had in awhile and I really want to thank you again for all that you have done for me. Oh, and I won’t be selling the saddle… My best—and your kindness will not ever be forgotten.
