NikkiM, apologies if you have already said where it is from but I am short on time for browsing through this entire post (although plenty of time to look at the pictures!!), where did you get Bruce's browband from? Is it the OS?
Click to expand...

Haha don't worry about it. No it is not OS, student bank account can't afford them at the moment!!

It is off eBay; saddlery4u or saddlery4u2 or eqequstrian. I can't remember which. It did have a big leather pad on the back of it, but I was after the 'droopy browband' look, so me and PS picked it off and voila!!
 
I love this thread!

I have recently moved my ponio to a dressage yard and am too being turned to the dark side. I have found myself a matching HKM pad and bandage set on ebay (thanks NikkiM :D )

Stupid question, do you put underbandage wraps on under fleece bandages? It says on the listing that I don't need to. I've only ever used boots before :eek:

*trots off to find a youtube clip on how to put bandages on* :confused:

No probs :D

You can use underpads if you want, but don't have to! I sometimes put Eskadron Climatex pads under Bruces bandages.....But they are not necessary (they are long so double up as over-reach boots!)

P.S.....the dark side?! Nahhh....the *sparkly* side :D
 
Ooooo lots to read on the thread now....

Thanks for all that it must of taken you ages x

Well thats a whole lot of posh dressage stuff!! I think Ill have a anky (set... for true matchyness :eek:) And one of those thick diaganal striped ones! I do want a plain new white one for parties too...

Im not sure if I want the pink or the light blue anky set though :rolleyes::rolleyes: or what colour stripey one?

I almost brought some dead sheep over reach boots too, my mare doesnt even need over reach boots apart from when galloping xc!!

Latest set Anky In Maise, looks nice on the Chestnut also.

Ive also recently bought some VERY blingy browbands, waiting for them to be made atm, but there both V shaped with 4 rows of crystals.:eek::D There going to blind people lol.
Click to expand...

That is quite some addiction now!!! I need pictures of your 4 row crystal browband please!!
 
I just think it's a shame that a couple of the posters obviously spent so much time putting on 'matchy matchy' stuff, they were short of the 10 seconds it takes to put on a hat. :mad:

No problem at all :)

It gave me a reason to procrastinate from doing my dissertation....!!

I think the Anky Aquarius set would look stunning on yours. For stripey, was this the Loesdau pad?? Think the red/blue would look gorgeous.

Love love love both your two :)

Think the Jade Anky set is stunning....really really want that set for Bruce - have got my eye on the Jade/Navy Loesdau as an alternative though and possibly an Eskadron version that is on German eBay....

....nom nom nom matchy and sparkly nom nom nom.....
 
Thanks, whahaha!

I love my Anky Jade too, but my Anky Ruby is my favourite! It suits Charlie soo well, but it looks terrible on Billy! Haven't tried it on Toots yet, but theres no point as he's going aswell.

And impressionable people read your posts. If you want to ride at home without a hat, I guess that's your right, stupid as I think that action is. I just wish you wouldn't post pictures of your doing so.

I do not give a flying duckie whether you asked for my opinion or not. It's an open forum. Deal with it and grow up.
 
Believe me, I have more Anky sets, and Eurostar, and BR, and HKM... and... I'll stop now. :D

Hmmm, not too keen on that one. I don't quite like how in inset in it. I like were you only see the bling, the bling is the eyecatcher. :D

Yeah the Loesdau pad, I think I prefer the grey and purpley/blue pad though....

I prefer the Aquarius but my sensible side says the pink one would go under my jump saddle for xc matchyness options. Or maybe I need a online spending spree for new xc stuff too!!!

Seriously? Does anyone really see someone riding without a hat and think "OMGZZZZZ if I ride without a hat I will be like totally amazing and 70%+ in my dressage testzzzzzz like Anky and my horse will be super amazinggggg like Totilas...." *snort* PLEASE.

I don't give a flying duckie about your opinion, so quit hijacking someone elses thread.

I have also been turned to the dark/ sparkly side as recently.
Though I am a student so mine is limited to cheap sets rather than anky though have to say, rather impressed with quality of HKM! my fav saddlecloths!
I just choose colours that suit both my horses to save time. So far, consists of navy, baby blue and about to get a rewd saddle cloth (anky second hand :D) to match my red bandages. Also, accidently bought some turqouisey/ blue bandages so am going to get a grey saddle cloth to match though that may have to wait till my birthday!
also, hopefully get a sparkly browband (love the saddlery4u stuff!) for my birthday :D

The purple/grey pad is much more lilac/grey-brown in real life, but so so lovely. Here is Bruce in it (not me riding but a young girl we know- making the move up from a 13.2hh bless her!!):

Why thankyou :D

But since I was born in 1989, I am a fully fledged adult....sorry Kiddo, appears you don't know me at all....so don't judge me.

As Vickijay has even stated herself, this thread was not a hat/no hat debate....so *please* stop hijacking someone elses thread that was until now a nice, cheery and happy one.

Whahaha!

I think a wave browband would suit yours quite well. A V shape would be too much.

Something like this would be perfect!
