And ran across these:

Ahem, anyway. There are still lots of good deals out there on winter blankets; stock up now before prices go up in a month or two.
I just bought these for the girls:

I do understand. I just received a Horse Health catalog from the UK which is filled with beautiful Lemieux products. Hard to resist those colors!! I don't usually use polo wraps but this catalog makes me want to....

After using Lemieux pads I won't use anything else. They are by far the best ones on the market.

Enabler! I am very proud that I only purchased each of them the blanket I linked to, and nothing else. They have rabbit-print fleece coolers and matching shipping boots, for God's sake!

Oh yeah. I got two of those for my jumping saddle (18" long flap) because my old GP pads were too small. Love them, but I just bought a bunch of Dover dressage pads when they were like $12 each at Christmas, so I can't justify the LeMieux dressage pads. I am going to try putting the D-ring straps on those pads though, to make them a little more LeMieux-like.

And because my horse has a head like a Samsonite suitcase and won't fit these, please buy this for your horse in red:

If only my mares weren't both orange. Someone might call the fashion police!

Thanks for the shopping tip. I ended up with a Lemieux half pad (have not tried those before) and a pair of Le Chameau clogs (I love my Le C rubber boots). I was restrained and did not buy saddle pads....this time.

I've never ordered from Country and Stable before, but so far, so good. I ordered the blanket in a 78 and an 81 and they quickly and apologetically notified me that the 78 was out of stock but they could send two 81's. I told them I only wanted one 81 in that case. I think that was on Monday, and the FedEx delivery attempt sticker was on my door on Thursday, and they are based in UK.
I hope you are pleased with your Lemieux pad, Piedmont!
