argh! my sj-er is turning into a dressage diva :p

[blood_magik]

Jerry has taken it upon himself to become a little dressage diva
So I'm taking the plunge and entering the next unaffiliated dressage competition at my yard.

Cue the bling and matchy matchy!

Any excuse to buy more stuff haha.. This time tomorrow i'll be knee-deep in blinged-out saddle pads and browbands, and matchy-matchy bandages

heaven

I am looking forward to the pics.

How mush diamonte are you going to get? Should I find my sunglasses before opening the post?

 

[blood_magik]

lol sunglasses might be a good idea
i bought a gorgeous browband from equestrian clearance:
http://cdn.equestrianclearance.com/cms_media/images/290x1000_fitbox-z99.jpg (its the gold link w/ diamantes), now all i need is matchy-matchy and a pair of brand spanking new white gloves (and the actual test but that's not as important as the bling )
Ooh - i could bling up my matchy matchy

 

[Fuzznugget]

Good luck with the test & have lots of matchy matchy fun

 

[muddygreymare]

Good luck with the test We need photos of all this new stuff What colours are you going for?

 

[blood_magik]

I don't think that the judges will be too impressed with lime green so i'll stick to white for the actual test.

I have a very posh looking white saddle pad with a turquoise fleur-de-lis and his name so i might use that - i think it looks nice against his reddy-chestnut coat

 

[blood_magik]

and i might have just ordered a beautiful cream saddle pad with bronze embroidery

 

[Mithras]

God, thats terrible! Both my showjumpers seemed to be showing willing to do a dressage test; unfortunatley I let them down by going wrong both times!

 

[Echo Bravo]

Must admit I have a black cob and he looks fantastic in bling, the other 3 well no.

 

[blood_magik]

I wanted swarovski crystals around the airvent on my hat as well but they wanted £200 - would be bloody cheaper buying a glue gun and doing it myself.

 

[nikkimariet]

Hahahaaaa I spy a bling convert....!!!!

Good luck with your dressage test, I'm sure it will be fine! You're a great rider and got a fab horse. Smile, enjoy and let us know how you get on!

 

[0ldmare]

Not sure its the horse showing dressage tendencies, think the rider is leading the way lol Good luck at the comp and look forward to seeing the photos (sunglasses primed and waiting)

 

[blood_magik]

think the rider is leading the way lol

yep when i had my first horse, there was hardly any bling - I've even converted my dad's SJ-er with a beautiful JW diamante browband

 

[blood_magik]

ooft i've just found somewhere offering bespoke saddle pads - bye bye savings
