More on the Astride

I received a mail yesterday from Ms. Krista Towns whom i believe the owner, developer and seller of the Astride to the effect that I may have received a defective product with regard to the hard plate material around the wither's area. Ms. Towns offered to exchange the product, which was appreciated. As noted yesterday, we'll continue to review the Astride. For now, after Saturday's work, it is an intriguing piece of equipment.

Ms. Towns also left an interesting website for race horse training:
