Oh and this is the CWD's temporary home while I figure something out. I could not leave it at the barn after that, even though it's in the non-mousey tack room.

On to something happier! I went out to ride last night - Mondays aren't on my usual schedule, but I needed to get those blankets in before it rained. It rained during my ride, lightly, and I still rode outside thanks to CWD's sweet rideable waterproof saddle covers:
It's a pretty sweet setup. I didn't notice it at all during my ride. And it wasn't rubbed at all or anything when I was done - not that I expected it to be, since it's designed for that:

| Grrrr you can still see the kid's SadleTite on the seat. |
Anyway, I was quickly rewarded for riding in the outdoor by a double rainbow over the farm, followed by a gorgeous sunset. Photo dump!

| The double rainbow didn't really get captured well by the phone, but you can kind of see it here. |
That rideable saddle cover is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! They should all come with that!
DeleteEvery time you post pictures of your farm I'm surprised about how beautiful it is. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks! If you ever want to come to Rolex I'll pay you for a photoshoot here to offset some of your costs. :-D
DeleteI'm sure you have written about them, so sorry if this is a silly question... Do you like your stirrup irons and what kind are they? I am finally fed up with trying to like regular fillis irons and need something better for ankle comfort!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not sure if I've written about them, I don't think I have. They're the Compositi wide track stirrups, composite. Retail is like $34. I've heard people say they do offer better ankle relief, I haven't had any problems with them. They do make the saddle a lot lighter and my foot feels secure in them. I think MDC is the gold standard for ankle relief, but if you can't shell out $150 for stirrups, these are a good thing to try.
DeleteSeems a good place for the CWD and glad you had such a beautiful ride!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSuch gorgeous photos as always, Connor lives in such a gorgeous place!
ReplyDeleteHe does, I am very lucky, especially since it is my only option for a boarding barn!
DeleteOh phew. I feel much better now. Damn rodents are scary.
ReplyDeleteYeah, not sure what I'll do long term, or how I'll juggle trainer rides. It has to be there sometimes.
DeleteI also would definitely take my saddle home after what happened to your dressage saddle. Now I'm paranoid and I haven't seen a rodent in any of ours.
ReplyDeleteinteresting saddle cover! i've always just ridden in the rain per usual... but then again i don't have a CWD so... yea haha
