Winter Weather

Sorry for the no post yesterday, we had a snow day and I was out playing with the dog! This morning there is a half inch to inch thick sheet of ice under a dusting of snow, so not going anywhere today! Here are some non-tack pics to enjoy!

Belongs on a "Quarter Horse"

You know, one of those out in front of the grocery store you used to beg to ride? It certainly has no business on a real one with kids using it. This thing is HIDEOUS. Not only is it a scary synthetic with embroidered horses on it and dinky looking hardware, it has a little pointy metal horse head for a horn! Brilliant! Just the thing for a small child to injure themselves on.

Scary Pink Saddle of the Week

WTF? Oh my, this thing is awful. And according to the pic "NEW" and "HAND MADE". Wow. It really never ceases to amaze me the amount of this stuff that is available. The unending stream of Pepto-Bismol colored tack effortlessly keeps me in blog fodder. I can almost taste the Pepto in the back of my mouth. Yech. Gag.

I will never understand this.

There is this strange need in the horse world to have a nifty gadget to make our horses do what we want. Some piece of magic hardware to fix every training issue you can imagine. This item, the Mikmar Flexion Combination bit claims to fix all of your "headset" problems and improve collection and balance. Really? I was under the impression that you achieved collection through training and that you achieved a "headset" through collection. Silly me, I have been putting all that effort in for nothing! I could just go spend nearly $200 on this little gem and skip all of that! Genius!

Heck, I am not entirely sure I could figure out how to attach this contraption to my horse!

Giggle

Thought yall might enjoy this, it's my Dad trying out my saddle. He is so funny sometimes. But there is that quote "If the world were a logical place, men would ride sidesaddle."

Squee!

Look what I gots! A sidesaddle, I rode it for the first time yesterday, an hour and a half trail ride, it was so comfortable! I even hopped a little creek with it.

F*#k it Friday

Yes, it is indeed F - It Friday. I am so sick of drama, hell its not even MY drama. It only indirectly involves me.

So in honor of F - It Friday, I am posting just random pics of Tacky. You folks can snark, I am out for the weekend!
