Many people won't even remember me but I'll say hi to those who do! I've been out of the saddle since July whilst pregnant with my little boy...he's now two months old, and even though I had a C section and was told to wait until 4 months (4 bleedin' months?!?) I got back on my gorgeous girl last week. In spite of her being a general nutter (I've had her nearly 14 years and know her inside out) she was actually very well behaved - if anything, she felt the most supple I've ever known her. Looks like her year off did her the world of good!
Anyway, she has no shoes on at present as I'm trying to sell a few drawings in order to pay for her to be shod again (did nobody tell me how tight money would be once I had a bubba in tow?) but once she's shod, I'll be able to hack out again properly. Our yard has fantastic hacking but you have to cross a big main road to get anywhere, and so I need to get kitted out with some decent hi viz... Hence my need for recommendations! I have a pink Rockfish Riders jacket, but I need to get a decent exercise sheet for Ellie. Firstly would like your thoughts on colour - yellow, orange or pink? Also on brand/type - I've never been a fan of cut out rugs as I prefer to tuck them up under my saddle flap, but it seems most of them are the cut out design these days. Any thoughts on the Equisafety Wraparound rug? Money is tight so don't want to spend too much...and finally what about sizing? My girl is 15.3 ish and light/medium build - rugs are 6/6'3.
Many thanks in advance...here are a couple of pics of my lovely girl, and my first time back in the saddle:
