A few subjects of matchy matchy today which got me thinking, what is your favourite luxury brand item you own or would like to own? I love the kep hats and the tretorn riding boots (chavvy showjumper ;) ) but being currently unaffiliated and poor with a wedding drawing closer I'm dreaming at the moment! I have recently invested in some veredus pro jump boots though which were pricy but I love them!
 
I am a bit less glamourous, I tried on some of the leather lined le chameau wellies, sigh... like walking on a cloud and the leather is so soft like chamois leather... should be for 325 quid! I would wear them all the time I promise!

I can't think of anything else right now, I would love some super lovely soft riding boots but I have to deal with ankle deep mud a lot so I don't think I'd ever wear them ;-)

Oh and a horse lorry bigger than my flat of course!
 
i have a Ken Taur sheep skin lined leather girth... i have only used it once because even though the sheepskin is removable for washing i dont want to wash it :o im jealous of it and i own it im such a weirdo ahahah but its my pride and joy :o i picked it up new from a tack shop that was closing down for a bargain at £30 from £110 so im just a little bit in love with it

oh and i want another pair of my made to measure riding boots as they are a small 5 and i have a size 5 1/2 foot and a 6 1/2 so i cant wear them anymore :(

oo and i want a Harry Dabbs Maridian dressage saddle for Rio and an Albion K2 jump for Taz but i'll carry on dreaming about those ;) or i take out a loan...:p

oo also i would love a rolled bridle for both Taz and Rio but they are a bit pricy :(

Not exactly a luxury item but am in love with my new Toggi coat.

It was £90, reduced from £120. Think that is the most I have ever spent of some kind of horse riding wear!

The best part about it is it has 2 fleece lined pockets at rib cage height. Perfect for keeping your hands warm. Sad that the things I find exciting in life are new coats and pockets!

Would love to own some Ariats but don't compete enough to justify buying a new pair of 'best' boots.
 
Number one My gorgeous one in a lifetime Horse

Number Two My lovely fantastic groom without whom due to my illness I could not keep my horse

Number three my tempur mattress
 
I have a custom monoflap jump saddle from The Bespoke Saddle Company in buffalo... I also like very much my Fiona hat (although it takes a fair bit of abuse and mud out hunting) and my Mears for Showing Gems tweed.
 
Keep a look out on the BD classifieds website. Lots of "luxury" brands on there and better to have a well looked after "previously enjoyed" product than a cheaper new one
 
my VW Touareg .... tows my horse box like a dream, keeps my bum warm on cold days, has enough room for my dogs and horsey stuff and because of the leather interior smells like a saddlers!!!

and my Just Toggi bootliners ... ummmm toasty tootsies!!!

and finally and most importantly, my beautiful Gypsy Vanner Cob who has given me my confidence back, helped my get over losing my old Mate and is just the most beautiful friend anyone could wish for. xx
 
My WOW saddle aswell ^^ although atm it doesn't fit the fat one but it's so so pretty.

My brogini made to measure boots aswell - I wear them to ride everyday and theyre still good as new :)
 
Probably my M2M tucci dressage boots. Probably about the only item I own that I clean after every use, which for me is rare!!!
 
I do like the De Niro boots, I'm getting married in August and because we've been together foreverrrr and already have a house and two children (closing the stable door after the horse has bolted- my mother likes to point out) were asking for money donations as wedding gifts, so depending on how generous family and friends are I'm hoping to put some towards treating babyhorse to a nice new saddle (current one is older than him lol)
I'd also like some matching veredus front boots but can't seem to find any that match the pro jumps. I always find stuff I want (need ;) ) those Spooks jackets are growing on me as well!
 
hmm sound like a very snobby spoilt teenager thinking about it but promise all of these were either picked up second hand or paid with from breeding my whippet dog hehehe
1+)my fabulous beautiful amazing popo's, one bought for £900 from ireland and is a horse of a lifetime and will never ever be sold and the baby we bred from her who is probably the bets looking horse I'll ever own, i'm even jealous of myself! hehe
1)probably my Sue Carson jump saddle, my armchair!
2)bespoke mears jacket
3)sue carson dressage saddle
4)my super duper air filled girth that i picked up from a local tack store
5)my P2-RS, never saved me as ive not fallen off in it in over a year but I do love it
6)my lovely lovely cross country colours(black and white chequers)

quite a list, better thank my mum a bit more than i do after realizing all that!:D
 
I love my personalised KEP hat and my Equiport jacket :D

My horse loves his Fairfax girth and his back on track rug

They gotta be my fav luxury items
