oOoo a sale!

Triangle Horse Sports is having a sale this weekend. Not just any sale, but a Stubben bridle for $50 type of sale. (These bridles normally run $200-$500.) None of the bridles were the right size for my mares. I found one, but after careful thinking (and much “but it’s a Stubben!” reasoning), I ended up only buying things for other people at the barn.

The bridle I almost got for my girls (and ended up bringing back for the barn owner) was a havanna (dark brown) Stubben Dublin bridle with a lovely braided browband. Very nice quality. No reins. Here is a picture of a black one with a flash cavesson. Example of a Stubben Dublin from a tack shop in Australia

I’m going back to the sale today to return the second bridle (not nearly as high quality) for a bag of flax and fly wipe.

Another reason to go to a tack sale! This is dangerous…

    Man, talk about an up-and-down week! About 1:30 AM Tuesday morning, Isis colicked. Very mild, from what they said. She basically went down, got back up, had a slightly elevated heart rate and that was it. She was given some mineral oil. During the day, she passed the mineral oil and had a very good…

  • Heading home!

    The Bay Wonder Mare(tm) is coming home tonight! It’s been a long hard haul for the past week and a half. Part of me can’t believe she’ll be in her stall. The other part feels slightly paranoid that something might happen. I’m glad the vet hospital is close so if anything happens we’re not that…
