When I started riding I did not know what I liked.<br /><br />Of course, now like you and every other horsie person out there, I have stuff I neither need nor want and have not gotten around to selling.<br /><br />Yeah, and the last tack sale I went too, I came home with more than I had taken. But who could pass up a good set of rawhide charro reins!<br /><br />PaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-6106903133420653202011-02-04T09:52:09.593-08:002011-02-04T09:52:09.593-08:00Did someone let you in my tack room? Because this ...Did someone let you in my tack room? Because this is frighteningly accurate... and it made me laugh!<br /><br />I wonder which is worse, endurance or eventing? I have two saddles (for each horse) and two bridles (for each horse - BTW I love your idea of getting horses that are the same size. Clearly I failed here!) and boots, and saddle pads... holy cow do I have a lot of saddle pads. I cleaned out my tackroom recently and found ... wait for it... 8 pairs of leg straps for blankets. I think they snuck in while I wasn't looking because I SWEAR I didn't buy them. Except the ones that still have the price tag on them, I might have bought those. Possibly.<br /><br />You don't need any leg straps, do you? Free to a good home! ;)jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-12682976304192264442011-02-04T04:14:30.319-08:002011-02-04T04:14:30.319-08:00If I could "warn" a newbie about one of ...If I could "warn" a newbie about one of the getting started hazards...this would be it. Currently in my unused pile are:<br /><br />Red Abetta Splint Boots<br />Wintec VSD Saddle<br />Easyboot Epic's size 0<br />3 Girths<br />4 Breast collars<br />Abetta Saddle<br />And boxes and totes of "little stuff".<br /><br />If I could do it all over, I could have afforded the GOOD STUFF that I really want which is a Eurolight Saddle, and a matching Zilco tack set. If I added up the money I spent....on this useless stuff...I'd have what I want and a lot more room in the tack compartment, barn, and the very room I'm setting in which has 3 boxes of horse stuff piled in the corner. ☻All Who Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811193190492037859noreply@blogger.com
