A look at some of the most horrible examples of horse equipment on the market today. Please remember, this blog is simply MY opinions. Everyone has some and like armpits, some stink! It is all subjective anyway. I am not telling anyone what to use at all. I am just making observations and stating my own likes and dislikes. If you do not agree, fine, you are entitled. THERE IS NO ONE RIGHT WAY. Please, read and enjoy and try not to be ugly to others. Everyone has a right to their opinions.
...is that green *thing* a side saddle?
ReplyDeleteCattypex! That's awesome! What IS that green thing?
ReplyDeleteThe green thing looks like a crappy treeless to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that beige thing supposed to be?
ReplyDeleteLove all the saddles you find...inspired me. I made a 'tacky tack' gaming set for model showing..
Oh, I love all the ones with color all over. I have always wondered who on earth would ever actually buy one and I think it must be non-horsey doting grandparents buying for a child. I can't come up with another scenario.
ReplyDeleteYay! Me Famous!!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that green thing and the beige disaster: they look like a great way for a rider to suddenly find themselves upside down under their horse - and still in the saddle.
There's Treeless, and then there's Overpriced Dangerous Bareback Pad.
People who know little about horses get caught up in the idea of a "blanket" or "pad" saddle, I think because it's romantic to them. It's like skimpy lingerie on a woman instead of stark nekked. It looks prettier, but accomplishes the same purpose.
