I have never been well off, never had much money to spend and if I wanted anything nice for my horse I had to save for it or go without.
Last year my uncle died and left me a bit of money. Never had so much money before, can now afford a few treats. One of the things on my wish list was a Witney gold stripe day rug, not one of those fleece copies, the real McCoy.
Found this website:-

As you can see the rug pictured has black stripes and black binding, just what I want as my travel boots, stable bandages, tail bandages, tail guard, ropes and surcingle (I ordered a rug without x surcingles) are all black.
As there were no colour options listed on the website for this particular rug, I assumed that I would get a rug with black (or near black) stripes and black binding, which would go with all the gear I already have.
So I was quite disappointed this afternoon when I recieved my new rug to find that it has navy stripes and navy binding!
What with this AND the chup looking but expensive saddles I tried last week AND the chippy I booked to replace my kitchen has signed himself off with depression and cancelled AND the OH getting p*ssy about having to hang round at a gymkhana this morning, I am not the most cheerful.
'Kin typical - couldn't get what I wanted 'cos I had no money, now I've got money I still can't get what I want!

Glad they are giving you your money back.
