Is this the most stupid thing I could have done?

[millreef]

The Longines Masters came to Hong Kong - best three days of my year Anyroad, Lamborghini had a stall selling high end saddles and other tack. Just as a joke I asked if they would accept an offer and to my amazement they did! It was seriously a good deal - at least at the time I thought it was but now I'm not so sure. I'm a Wintec girl and saved for ages just to get a second hand Stubben so this is way off the crazy scale for me.
My husband is coming back from business tonight and I'm not sure if he'll still be my husband after I tell him Do you think it's a good investment? I'm sooooo worried.

I had no idea Lamborghini made saddles! Bet that wasn't cheap.

Now that worries me even more. If they had a great reputation for their saddles I'd feel better about it but now I just think I might have more money than sense - and I don't have a lot of money!

Have you actually made a deal that there is no backing out of yet? I'm guessing it's for a custom made saddle?

Paid for already -got it at 11.30 last night and it's an ex-display so I had it on my lad this afternoon and it fits really well.

Let's have a look then!

I agree! You're very lucky that it fits! Just tell your husband that you've had it for ages

You learn something new every day

Do you think it'd make a horse go faster - or need more pit stops ?

 

[cattysmith]

Remember to halve the price too! First rule of telling of your equestrian purchases to a husband.

 

[Shysmum]

hahaha ^^^ YUP, the first rule in having a horse and a hubbie

 

[KSR]

Do they make the horse go faster too?? Lol

I didn't know they did horse stuff, limited edition or not!!

Need photos!

 

[millreef]

Please excuse the stirrups - they're pretty crappy

 

[Tobiano]

Yum, Yum!

Looks like an excellent investment to me

 

[Shysmum]

OOOOOOOOOO I LOVE IT !!!! I quite liked the red, but that is fantastic !! It's just totally different

Just wow !

OH GOOD! I was worried that I was the only one who thought it was a good idea. Now we just have to convince my hubby - EASY

 

[Feathered]

You know you need to order those matching stirrups now too!

Stop it! My brain listens to things like this you know.

 

[DW Team]

Wow drooling would love one looks very nice.

 

[millreef]

I just hope it's a good investment. It's really comfortable though. I can't stop smelling it too. It's soooooo soft.

 

[JFTDWS]

It's quite something to behold isn't it... 'tis a fine line between stupidity and genius y'know

 

[Chottsy]

wow! That's perrrrrrdy! Definite investment! or if you change your mind, you can always dump it on me

 

[Coblover63]

Something that used to work well on my first husband was to tell him something was double the price that it really was. Then when he did the "WHAT????? HOW much???" spiel, you could then tell him "Ack, no, actually... it was only... £££" so you are telling him the real price and then to him it won't seem so bad

(PS That's not the reason we're no longer married either! )

 

[blood_magik]

I'm jealous Someone on my yard has one and it's lush.

 

[millreef]

Thanks!
I would like to keep both my husband and the saddle so I'm working on this.

 

[Nicnac]

No - the most stupid thing you could have done would have been not to have bought that boooootiful saddle. Have serious saddle envy now!

Wow - just wow. (Actually no, I don't like Wow saddles so will have to find another adjective to describe it!)

I wonder who makes them for Lamborghini? Now you have posted link to all Lamborghini equestrian stuff; I am sorely tempted.

I also loved my old yard owners Lamborghini tractors - so much cooler than a Massey Ferguson

 

[millreef]

They did throw in the stirrup leathers AND a stud girth too, plus some amazing leather dressing and a beautiful saddle cover......
Yeah, these are all the things I'm going to dress up my argument when hubby comes home.

 

[FfionWinnie]

So how much then, go on??

 

[Kaylum]

Beautiful, yes do tell how much?

 

[millreef]

So how much then, go on??

How much do you think I should have spent first??

 

[Devonshire dumpling]

How much do you think I should have spent first??

How much are they before your good deal?
