Ski socks of various brands: $13-17
Compositi wide track composite stirrups, not in this color! - $34.95
An illuminated hoof pick. Because if there is one thing lacking in my barn, it's good light over the wash rack: - $20.35
A white short sleeve show shirt, in order to avoid doing this again:
Saddle pads! I still have a hangup about buying them. In my mind, I shouldn't pay more than $20, but I also can't stand low-quality ones. This results in me just never buying them, and having a total of 3 schooling pads, including one that my grandma bought me in 6th grade.
What's on your reasonably priced Christmas wish list?
Awww man, I don't know if you saw but Dover had their AP saddle pads on sale for $10/ea yesterday, as part of their 12 Days of Christmas. Of course, that $10/ea price doesn't include their atrocious shipping costs, so you're probably better off haha. And that illuminated hoof pick is pure genius! Wish I had invented that :)
ReplyDeleteI did, but I've never been impressed with those pads. I want thick saddle pads that lay just right! And are as cheap as the Dover ones. Is that too much to ask? ;) And their shipping IS horrible.
DeleteThis year my Christmas list is not reasonably priced...
ReplyDeleteAlso a danger with horses...
DeleteMy mom always loves shopping for me at Christmas because I always need so much stuff for the pony!! I think Connor would look just smashing in that dark purple pad, you need it. And ski socks are also on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteThe purple pad may be arriving at my house tomorrow morning...it's a Toklat and was only $22! Plus dark purple is my favorite color.
DeleteCarhartt Heavy Weight Socks and Toe Warmers are my fav stocking stuffers!
ReplyDeleteOhhh yeah, Carhartt knows what it's doing.
DeleteReasonably priced and Christmas wish list are five words that are impossibly in my language, heheh.
ReplyDeleteTotally understand!!!
DeleteIt's not that I'm greedy, see. It's just ... I'm pretty happy with what I have ponywise and lifewise. Except maybe for one of those marathon carriages or something. That would be the bee's knees.
DeleteHence, not a reasonably priced wishlist ;)
Oh! Compositi stirrups, come live with me!
ReplyDeleteFor the low low price of $34.95, they can!
DeleteI actually love the half sleeve show shirt look. ;-) Very elegant.
ReplyDeleteIt did look pretty good. I just felt awkward. Oh, coats are waived? Let me just...continue to wear sleeves.
DeleteSocks! All of my boot socks have died.
ReplyDeleteMine tooooo. I bet they'll last longer since I won't be wearing them for stalls anymore. These boots/socks weren't made for walking.
DeleteTiny mouthed bits for Bridget...all mine are 5" or larger and I've been shamefully lazy about ordering and trying more when the one I use is OK for her at best. Also I really want a plate or decal for my tack trunk!
ReplyDeleteI have to recommend the vinyl decal company I used for my tack trunk! They were great!
DeleteThat hoof pick is super cool! I always love getting riding socks... and girl can never have enough!
ReplyDeleteTotally. I will ALWAYS accept socks for Christmas!
DeleteI'm always in need of more horse treats!!
ReplyDeleteThat too! Connor tears through them...which is really my fault...
DeleteThose stirrups are NEAT! Are they lightweight? Might have to add them to my list...
ReplyDeleteYes they are lightweight! I am excited to try them.
Deletelove that hoof pick!!! and yea - the compositi stirrups seem like a perfect gift to ask for (so many 'reasonably priced' horse stuff falls into the category of 'wow nobody will ever want to actually buy this for me...' lol)
ReplyDeleteExactly, I think the stirrups are a good gift request. And they come in fun colors!
DeleteThose stirrups are a wonderful substitute for the eleventy bllion dollar ones I want, thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! If you get them first, let me know how you like them.
DeleteJust curious about wanting composite stirrups instead of classic fillis irons?
ReplyDeleteA few reasons. I'm curious to try them. Less weight. I've heard the wide track is good for joint pain (I got kicked in the knee while riding in 2007). I've also heard it's good for foot stability. And in eventing, George Morris can't tell me no. Typically, I'm a traditionalist, and I'll definitely get these in traditional colors, but I'm interested in stepping outside my box on this one.
DeleteThe hoofpick with the light is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI know! All hoofpicks should have lights. Even well-lit crossties have the horse's body shadowing the hoof.
DeleteUm, what do you mean you don't want those stirrups in hot pink? Is there something wrong with you??
ReplyDeleteNooo you want the hot pink!
