Well, if you have three on your wish list, and you order only one, then that IS exercising restraint!

If I order 2, I qualify for free shipping.

The black one will be a good all around pad.

No, nothing awful. He is at home having a little R&R before I start back up on him my next home visit.

I love the honey crystals; however, that is one color I know will not look good on my horse.

capstone

Oh man. I just found this browband in their sales. I might need it instead.. http://www.equiture.biz/honey-garnet-and-clear-megabling-curve-browband/ The review for that browband: "So after I ordered the first two, I just can't stop until I have one of each color!! I have eight! My favorite is...

2 different feet?

Cartier tends to pull shoes when he doesn't like the fit or balance. Always the same, RF, when it happens. Otherwise he keeps them on.

StraightForward wrote:*Sigh* I just ordered a Fairfax bridle, and at least according to them, that will limit me to their browbands. We shall see when the bridle arrives, several weeks from now.

I chose to not order a particular bridle because I thought changing out the browband would be a nightmare.

capstone

Ooh, I think I like that one best of the ones he's modeled so far (of course he'd look good in a baling twine bridle ;)). Thanks! It brightens his face up, I think. Equiture has come out with a new dark grey crystal; I am currently resisting the urge to order it. I do not need another browband. I d...

capstone

Unfortunately, we had a less than auspicious conclusion to Cartier's show season. I am working up the energy to type the full story.

Onwards and upwards.

capstone

I have that first pad and don't love it.

capstone

The green pad arrived. It has gold piping instead of white as I had assumed. The jury is out.

And here is Cartier modeling his new Passier bridle and one of his new browbands. Blue fade - dark grey/blue on the outside fading in to iridescent white in the center.

This pad is beautiful. http://www.equikro.com/eskadron-classic-sports-brilliant-dura-saddlecloth Even with the garnet browband, I don't think it is necessary to use a red saddle pad every day. Gold trim would help to tie in with the gold - if you are so inclined - on any color saddle pad. But even t...

capstone

Well, you guys know my position. Why settle on one when you can have 6?!

I am completely biased but I own and love the fading one. And the garnet one is on my own wish list.

In the brown family, I really like this one. http://www.equiture.biz/gold-quartz-and ... -browband/

Speaking of Cartier and his bling...I can't wait until I'm home and championships are over so I can start dressing him up again. Those 3 new browbands are just waiting to make appearances!

Ha! I can see that. You need to be self-aware, for sure.

capstone

How can you say that? It should be "Me, too, exactly!" Man... Somedays you can't even trust a person's own self-analysis. Oh, no! How embarrassing. :oops: Now, now. Do I need to get you ladies some self-help books? Or should we call in Dr. Phil? :lol: Perhaps. My problem is worse than I t...

I'm so out of touch. We are blinging up helmets now. If that is a question, the answer is definitely yes. They can be nice. sometimes, yes, :lol: Not really my thing.... Well, I do have one.

We'll get 'em next time.

The next time I will be able to ride Cartier regularly will be March. Patience is a virtue (I struggle with).

Me too, exactly! I told a friend yesterday that I'm a over-comma-er.

I'm bummed that I have absolutely nothing to report.

I rode today and the last time before that was a month ago. Literally. And both times on my Swiss lesson pony.

I can't wait until I can ride my own horse regularly again.

The prospective buyer is not obligated to release the X-rays, but many do as they genuinely care about the horse and want the owner to have as much information as possible. Others have no such conviction and feel that they are out a bunch of money and don't "owe" the seller anything. I hav...

capstone

Would your vet be willing to speak to a prospective buyer before they lay out money for their own X-rays? This might make someone more comfortable with the situation, especially if you do not have them retaken.

capstone

I would fully expect the "sale" price to be a nominal charge.

At 26, I would have very low expectations. As someone said, probably no shows or clinics.

capstone

My biggest concern is at this price I am going to get slammed with inquires. I don't want to waiste buyers time (and my own). I agree. I would include something to the effect of "sound with some clinical X-ray findings, hence the reduced price" That doesn't sound very polished but I know ...

So they are still available.

Are you still interested in getting them this weekend?

Not implying that there is anything wrong with doing 2nd 3 20 times, if that floats your boat. It would just drive me to screaming insanity. (I couldn't be a Reiner... same thing for ever...)

Technically speaking, I think any horse could be shown at GP whether they could do the movements or not, because I don't think they ever put that proposed requirement in place that was going to require certain scores before someone could move up? This is sadly true in the US. Not so in some other c...

Cartier was a star today, as always, drawing admirers everywhere he goes. The footing was better but still not great and so he really bogged down and lost rhythm in the right pirouette but managed everything else clean if a bit flat. The judge loved him and his music! :D 74.750% for 1st place. 8-) W...

capstone

Nope. Takes a special brain and a talented horse to make a GP horse. I think this myth started with "Any horse can do dressage" and has morphed from there to "any horse can do 3rd" to "any horse can do GP." Any horse can probably put together pieces at home. Half steps...

capstone

That is so great! So wonderful to relax and enjoy the ride!

Our Cartier and Capstone should be in Houston by now. I hope we get some pictures! I wonder which browband and pad she'll use!! Today, warm up day, was blue and grey. Show pads will be white.

Very expensive - about 40 USD for the one pad.

Capstone, I don't know how you manage with the humidity. At least when it's mid 90s for shows here, "it's a dry heat." Will the show be out or inside? Under cover but not exactly climate controlled. We were there in June and it was miserable. We have the added challenge this weekend of 60...

Do you remember buying ribbon as a kid and decorating your own browbands? http://smg.photobucket.com/user/tarheelmd07/media/SampleBrowbands4.jpg.html Or save broken reins to make into brow bands, and cover with ribbons.

Well, the pads and polos are greatly reduced which frees up a lot of space.

Some people buy things as a surrogate for doing things. (And don't ask me how I know this). Buy power tools but don't build the shed. It feels like progress when one (don't ask me which one I'm referring to) is stuck. Preparing for action that doesn't occur. Ahem. And some people feel compelled to ...
