OMG...I nearly just joined BD, I did just google 'anky pad' and 'bling browband'...

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!!):

Yep Im sold on one of those, no matchy bandages though :(
 
:)Why do some people deliberately try to start silly fights on these forums- nikkmariet is an adult and it's no one else's business!

Anyway... all pics look fab! It’s so nice to see and read about people having fun with their horsey’s and making them look pretty! I am also a bling/matchy fan and my horse's wardrobes are going to be bigger than my own soon!

Regarding Losedau- has anyone ever paid by visa debit- my card wouldn't work (there are def funds in there!) and so I'm thinking maybe it has to be a credit card? :)
 
LOL!

Sorry but I just cant see you in bling and matchy matchy! You will need to get matchy matchy tracky bums too...:D

However...just in case...Here is a plan...

Monday...yellow and black
Tuesday...baby pink
Wednesday...baby blue
Thursday...burgandy and gold
Friday...royal blue and cerise pink/yellow
Saturday...purple and green
Sunday...white

You know me...I do matchy matchy- brown or black! Or black and brown, sometimes with a bit of clarendon blue or brushing boot burgandy. :D

If you want to look at some nice browbands, they have some lovely ones at Hannington. Cant think of the name of the shop (too busy planning my colour scheme for tomorrow) but they just do dressage stuff.

This isnt meant to be a hat/no hat debate. Its been done 'nuff times.

Sorry, Vickijay - it's never been enough times until people start to wear the damn things without question.

Ask Courtney K-D.

And Nikki? I don't care what year you were born, your response was that of a child and deserved to be treated as such.

You mean Inchs. I was upset today as wanted a nice new jeffries bridle and they had one (in the sale and everything!) and it had brass freakin buckles :mad:

You may of noticed I was riding in jeans in the pics... lol... we are going to try to be posh to go play with the proper dressage horses, so we will be less jeans more matchy!

Actually, Fairy, it's not a 'silly fight' and if you knew anything of my posting history here I am usually the one to live and let live. But riding without a hat is something I feel very strongly about. And if someone comes off and suffers a brain injury, it is very much other people's business.

Thats it..Inches! I nearly bought Dozzie a V shaped one...b ut thought better of it....:D

I love the thermatex btw! Love that colour!:)
 
i love the idea of matchy-matchy but it wouid cost a fortune - i'd insist on pro-sport medicine boots to match my numnah rather than bandages :p
i bought a beautiful john whitaker diamante browband for my sj bridle and it wont fit :mad:

need to win the lottery :rolleyes:
 
Oooooh Inchs! I had forgotten ALL about that....*wanders off for an online furtle*

Zijdeglans - I was scritching and scratching my head for AGES trying to remember ooteman!! That site does some really lovely stuff, I am all for the over the top sparkle and such....and I strangely have my eyes on some kids breeches....for myself.... :o

Fairy Dust - Thank you for that. My sister/PS has ordered off there, and she would have used her debit I think.....Might be worth giving them a ring?? Or peemailing to ask? There is a little English flag in the corner (which I failed to see for several hours after using freetranslation.com) and checking out the orders FAQ section?

Mrs B - Look. I am not saying I think you are wrong for having a hat/no hat opinion. I don't think people that wear hats are doing anything wrong. I let them be, now please, get off my case because this isn't your thread and I think it is *incredibly* rude of you to start spouting off at someone you don't know another persons elses thread that is completely *unrelated* to the hat/no hat debate. Give it a rest.

Vickijay - I think, that the bandages are the elastic polo type bandages that might be of a HKM breed..... I will try and find you a similar brown-grey-beige type colour :)

Blood_magik - Is it the loops that are too small or the actual browband?? If the first, might be worth asking local saddlers to lengthen them?? (depending on how much it originally was, to make it price efficient/worth it).

Oh for heavens sake. the hat thing has been done a million times over - I will always wear i hat, no matter what - my instructor doesnt - up to her - she comes off my horse no hat - her head not mine -she knows what my horse can be like so her decision - nikki makes same decision - entirely up to her and her family. I think everyone is old enough to make their own decision - yes i would prefer people would - but if they dont - i get over it.
this is a matchy matchy thread - if you are so On a mission about hats - start another thread and dont hijack this one. appreciate the sentiment but enough already.
 
Nikki. I will not stop commenting on this while people post 'look at me and my horsie' pics without it crossing their minds that to do so without a hat being present is irresponsible.

If that makes me *incredibly rude*, so be it.

yeah the loops are too small - his collegiate bridle has a really wide headband :(
i might just keep it and see if it will fit my dads bridle. at least i still have my green swarovski crystal browband :D
 
hkm cloths are lovely as are the hkm gently - they are so soft and nice quality - but i dont bandage as use boots as easier/less time/and its been years since did bandages so dont want to bugger legs up by not doing them properly! - shame cos they look so nice all matched and i could get some to match all the cloths i have.


definately would like a droopy sparkly browband though :)

Yeah this is my matchymatchy thread, it has been noted that some people dont wear their hats, some people do. Everyones different. Everyone has a opinion.

KIDS and IMPRESSIONABLE PEOPLE PLEASE WEAR YOUR HAT ITS DANGEROUS IF YOU FALL OFF ON YOUR HEAD, OR ON YOUR BUM AND THEN SMACK YOUR HEAD ON A HARD OBJECT ETC.

Can we **all** leave the hat thing now, or as above please start a new thread x

Pwahahaaaaahaaaa!!! My OH comes up with some classic stuff..... He calls rugs coats, flying changes skips and most other things in between horsey ballet....!!! He does know the difference between a leg yield and a half pass though which is impressive!!
 
I didn't fancy doing any uni work....so researched bandages to match Loesdau lilac/grey-brown stripey bad boi....

http://www.loesdau.de/Fleecebandagen,-4er-Set,-Eskadron.htm?websale7=loesdau&pi=60021&ci=04-bandagen (in anthrazit - the best matching one on the Loesdau website, which would be worth getting if you're going to pay shipping for the saddle pad anyway)

http://www.inchs.com/acatalog/horse-bandages-and-pads.html (these are the same as above but slightly cheaper and shipped in UK)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SOFT-FLEECE-A...t=UK_Horse_Wear_Equipment&hash=item3cb62bc17b

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bandages-Flee...Horse_Wear_Equipment&var=&hash=item6672de49bc (in Dove Grey)

http://www.hkm-sportsequipment.eu/a...e1=001&e2=001002&e3=001002002&e4=001002002028 (in 3500 - lila or first line second in from the left; can't work out the number!!)

http://www.dressagedeluxe.co.uk/Shop.asp?viewmode=ViewProduct&productid=856 (in grey, with added BLING!!)

And just as an extra nom nom nom: http://www.coolequestrian.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=652
 
it happens just by associating with PS & the pones
the carthorse now has a bling browband - but i feel that bandages would be a step too far:D

I know where you can get bling bling for just 8 euro's (about 6 pounds)... and it blings for years. :D Thats where I usually get my browbands from.

Ooteman's is VERY expensive, but soooo worth the price. VERY VERY VERY blingy, I go blind when I look at it. :D

:O I LOVE the double bling row....but think it might get a bit lost on Bruces big grey face....
