Saddlery - going in for one item but coming out with another.....

[Carefreegirl]

I hate shopping full stop and go as little as often although when I do I seem to 'stray' from my list

For example last weekend I went in for some Cribox, I came out with a £1 hoof oil brush and a £90 flyrug.....
16 years ago I went in for a numnah and ended up buying a horse

What's your best 'wasn't intending on buying that' stories

Hell yes, went to the Exmoor sales with NO money and NO trailer, just for a look around and still managed to come home with a £50 colt.

Shop shopping, I have a theory that supermarkets and tack shops have a secret little mechanism that sprays you with an invisible odourless chemical when you walk in through the door. It renders you totally unable to concentrate, or remember what you went in there for. I see it all the time at my local supermarket. People stride in muttering 'pint of milk pint of milk', three quarters of an hour later they are standing in the car park with a month's worth of groceries in a trolley and a dazed expression that says 'what the hell happened there?'.

Did the colt fit in your car ?
I know someone that bought a foal home in the back of a daihatsu 4trak......

I think its the smell of leather and flyspray that makes you go mad in a tack shop......pop in for fly spray- come out with £90 bridle

I was at a horse trials last year, went in a tent to buy a head collar...... Came out with a saddle and bridle which came to £950 now I leave my purse at home!

 

[Fools Motto]

I went into my local tack shop 18 months ago to SELL one of my saddles in their second hand department.
I basically came out with a 6 month old filly (advert on the wall), all because it said 'foaled 1st April'....
NOT on my list at all, and it took 9 months for OH to realise what I have done!! Still, wouldn't change my little filly for anything!
