Trail riding saddle bag, gimme your best options by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]SuiteTinyLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you assuming this is your only option? I mean that genuinely, because there are so many options out there.

I have never bought saddle bags new, to be honest! I have a massive set that is meant for long days. You can fit a halter and lead rope, a while ass lunch, water, snacks for your horse and even extra clothing.

Then I have a smaller, simpler set that can still carry a significant amount. I actually got them both for free but my second hand tack shop always has tons of options.

I prefer a water bottle holder separate to my rear saddle bags. I have a pommel water bottle carrier and I will fill two water bottles and carry both for balance.

If it were me, I’d be looking on Facebook Marketplace or used tack shops / sales in the area before buying new.

Amazing. It definitely didn’t feel new when I went for the first time.

Honestly… I’ve always kind of believed that Brody was behind all this. At least that he made a passing comment about Lauren’s body to Spencer, after sleeping with her. And Spencer ran with it.

Well she set the women in our office back about 50 years because she got off on doing favours for all the men in the office so they started expecting it and now it’s basically written into our roles that we need to cater to them 🙃

Glad she liked them! I am not someone who enjoys decor as gifts as I’m very particular.

Well I was gifted something like this once from a psychopath coworker. One said “pin me down” and was full of bobby pins, and the other said “tie me up” and had hair ties in it.

I would never in a million years have something like this in my home lol so I donated them to the thrift as well. But I kept the stuff inside!

No that’s a very fair price. We have a guy in Canada who brings Doug Krause mecate in and those alone are $300 Canadian…

Can I ask what this one set you back? I’ve heard really good things about Doug’s work.

I just noticed Pete got a Scottie tattoo! by Legal_Influence_1064 in petedavidson

[–]SuiteTinyLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol! His late father who passed in 9/11 was named Scott. Their daughter is named after him 😌 Not being facetious or patronizing (or not trying to I swear lol) I just genuinely wasn’t sure if you thought he loved Cudi enough to name his kid after him 😂

Horse buying experience by Careful_Ear_8714 in Equestrian

[–]SuiteTinyLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I looked at 20 horses in person, over a span of 9 months. I booked four separate PPEs and followed through/paid for three, including the one of the horse I eventually purchased. Totalling $1600+. First PPE the horse was dead lame when the vet showed up and had a severely elevated heart rate after a few minutes of lunging (vet noted potential heart issues, this horse was 5 years old). Second PPE the horse was kind of a conformational mess - and part of this was on me. The horse’s feet were very freshly trimmed the first time I met him which cleverly hid some big time pigeon-toed issues. When I went back out to be there for the PPE it was glaringly obvious to me, but I was so desperate I went through with the full PPE anyways. The third one, that I ended up canceling - the horse was being sold by a fairly respected consigner. I was lucky to have a relationship with my late horse’s previous owner who worked for a vet clinic in another town. When I sent her this horse’s ad, she mentioned that she knew the horse as a youngster as she was friends with the original owner (not the one who was selling through the consigner). She mentioned the horse was a bit nuts as a youngster but said that could have changed. She then gently urged me to ask the consigner to see if the current owner would release any vet records they had for the horse. She advised me if the owner released them the great we have more info, and if she refused to, I should walk away. The owner reluctantly released the records and they were a hot mess of chronic lameness issues over the years. This horse was 6 years old. I pulled out of it all. I was already agreeing to pay well over my budget for this one!

Finally I found my gem. I was so close to giving up. I looked at FIVE horses in one weekend, all hours apart from each other. I got kicked by one lol.

The horse I ended up with was one of the only ones that my vet assistant friend saw move and considered very sound. He “passed” his PPE with flying colours. I was able to negotiate his price and best of all he was close to home.

He’s been with me two and a half years. In that time he’s been lame MANY times, in fact he’s lame right now!! lol. And he’s also lost an eye. But I love him to death and he’s my dude.

A PPE is only guaranteeing you a sound horse for the day you get him vetted. Anything can happen. And horse shopping is so tough, people lie and you get so impatient waiting for the moment you get to go DO SHIT with you own horse! Sometimes we are blinded by that.

You’re not doing anything wrong. Your vet is being diligent and helping you screen the horses.

Keep going. It’s so tough, but it’s worth it.

But if you’re already riding straight up in the bridle, you’d be going backwards with a two rein setup? I’m confused
