Hi folks!
Sorry it has been a while.. the holidays area crazy time as I am sure you know. Hope you all had an excellent holiday and new year.

Speaking of the holidays.. I'm not to sure what it is like at your barn, but at mine many people receive horse related things for Christmas like clothing and such. When it comes to clothing, it is pretty much inevitable that people have the same breaches and vests etc.. but I am sure that only my barn puts up the fuss that i saw a few days ago.
Two of our top riders waled into the barn wearing not only the same breeches, but the same shirt, vest, boots everything! it was pretty freaky actually, but they were the new arrivals for the season, so of course they both bought them all. I found it fairly funny and amusing, and i expected them to well.. not care but oh man was I wrong! They both looked at each other with their eyes bulging out of their heads and they debated for a good 20 min on who was going to change, and they based that on what polos and saddle pads they were going to use so they matched the best, and then finally one of them went and changed into a spare out fit she happened to have.

Now i like to match and look put togiether to a certain degree, mostly becasue it is the way it is done in Dressage and riders always try to look their best and same with their horses, but i just thought that was a little over kill! I should say.. it was a very cute outfit haha

Till next time.. Happy riding!
