I think that's where Applebee's and Cracker Barrel buy the junk they decorate their walls with... ;-) Cuz I think this saddle would be best put to use nailed up in a corner with old Mexican horse prints around it.<br /><br />And then again, remember that somebody scored a genuine Skyhorse at an estate sale for $300 or something like that!cattypexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589672286463092432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813777829951446721.post-9049378014031007812010-03-09T10:48:54.555-08:002010-03-09T10:48:54.555-08:00Analise- I'm not saying those of us with horse...Analise- I'm not saying those of us with horses don't go to thrift stores. I have been to my share in life and yes, great deals abound. Same with the dollar store.<br /><br />But not when looking for or at tack. Not like you are going to find a run on shadbelly coats, field boots or things of high quality there... Anyone who has things like that of value, don't usually drop them off at a donation center. Instead they drop them off where they can be used. Tack stores, rescues, lesson barns and places like that. <br /><br />Am I a snob? When it comes to some things- yes. I can handle that.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603347619547454296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813777829951446721.post-1666992169115628262010-03-09T06:30:55.823-08:002010-03-09T06:30:55.823-08:00CNJ, why not?

I got a $4 skirt once that I wear to renaissance festivals. Several pieces of furniture I have I found at thrift stores. My microwave came from one. And so on. :)Analisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745597205111114664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813777829951446721.post-41548335483909970802010-03-08T15:49:24.243-08:002010-03-08T15:49:24.243-08:00To think someone thought anyone at a thrift store ...To think someone thought anyone at a thrift store would have a horse?
