So those of you with horses in RL can probably relate. I have gone out of control buying things for my mare :))

What I've bought so far:
-Western saddle (If i ever get it... paid April 23rd and the person is still making excuses for why it hasn't shipped... I have a paypal claim open)
-Dressage saddle; A brown one! My absolute dream saddle :x It just came today!
-Tie dye polo wraps
-Rainbow polo wraps
-Mud boots (fronts only but i think i like them enough to get the hinds!) They came today too!
-Western Breast Collar
-Little S Hackamore
-Custom Muletape western tack set (light pink)
-Custom rainbow glitter set of four splint boots with matching bells all lined with sherpa fleece
-Dressage girth
-Stirrup leathers
-Stirrup Irons
-Brown English Bridle

And i am still currently trying to find a set of four light/baby pink polo wraps and an english saddle pad but it's literally freaking impossible! I can't find what I'm looking for ANYWHERE :'( And I currently am debating on getting a yellow and a neon green english saddle pad. Someone needs to take away my Amazon privileges :))

Has anyone else gone crazy and bought out a tack shop yet? :))

Ooooh I swear there is a lady in the "Extra" Equestrians group on FB that has made baby pink polo wraps and saddle pads. Too many posts to dig through but I bet if you made a post in there asking if anyone can or does you'd get an answer! Not sure if the link will work for you because the group is private but here it is just in case https://www.facebook.com/groups/extraequestrians/

Hhaha, I'm not lucky enough to have access to my own horses any more. I'm hoping to put a horse on some friends land, but I'll probably have to get a mortgage first. I've been seeing all these kind of posts on Facebook. One very jealous woman over here :))

Nope, I don't have my own horse offline. :) But... I am holding onto hope that boosts and GMTs will have a good sale in June... :D And I will not cop to how many tranquility coloring books I currently own and how many are on my wish list... :P I'm currently working on an Impressionist art one.

Same, except I'm not buying tack, I'm making improvements to the farm! We have a whole new woods pasture for the goats, we bought way too many chicks and now we're rebuilding the outdoor portion of the coop, and I refenced the horse pasture so that my gelding has a track to walk around the outside but the inside area is fenced off to allow the grass to grow. When the grass recovers it will be a grazing paddock. It's a pretty neat system my farrier suggested. It's been three weeks and Dallas is in great shape from walking more (almost too great... he's getting spunky). And I finally found a knitting pattern to make my own custom fly veils just in time for summer!

@CeffylDwr I'm actually in that group! But i did find someone who can make me a set of polos so i am at least good there :)

@HTRanch that paddock idea is brilliant! Our little pasture is just straight dirt and poop and when it rains, even the tiniest bit, its a horrible muddy mess :( We want to plant grass but don't want the horses trampling it while it tries to grow so might bring this up to my dad!

@AHayesHorses look up "Paddock Paradise" or "Track Paddock" and you will come up with lots of info.

Ok, so I don't have a horse or a place to keep one, but I think my mom needs a dog run around the fence line to corral her puppy when extended family visits.

I think SmartPak sells baby pink English pads and polos!(They also have great budget-friendly breeches :) )

CeffylDwr · May 24, 2020 8:18 AM

I have been buying tack on a friends auction. Loving it picked up a purple bridle and breast collar for my sons Walking mare she is a golden palomino.

Have a look at le meuix blush pink :)

AHayesHorses · May 29, 2020 8:37 AM

@best friend By chance is it the Embry Family Auction on facebook? I saw a purple bridle and breast collar on their with their last auction from last night! I just won a pair of spanish reins and an old english bridle! Won a few other things from them in the past too :)

Only one purchase and the hubby made it. He got a cart for me to refurbish, thinking it would keep me busy all summer. Had it done in exactly one week :)) I just have to reupholster the seat. I dont know if I will go with with white marine vinyl, or go with a nice tacky teal paisley. We have had fun with it, and now my husband is semi looking for his own pony/mule/donkey.

I purchased a raffle ticket for a really nice bred Quarter horse filly. I have absolutely no clue what I’d do with her if I actually win the raffle, but it she is too good a mare to pass up for the price of the ticket. It’s the first truly impulsive thing I’ve probably ever done. Which proves how methodical I am.

Side note that would actually be a pretty good way to sell a horse, as long as you don’t mind not picking the owner out personally. The owner will make 17k on that mare if they sell all the tickets for the original price. Personally I would probably never be able to sell a horse like that, but it’s still a good idea.

@AHayesHorses yes it is the Embry family. I just won a thinking comb and a non electric clippers for the horses so I can do their bridle paths. I got out bid on the purple breast collar and bridle. She is supposed to have more.

@best friend I've gotten several things from their auctions! Waiting on a belt buckle right now :)
