Undeniably cruel....

....but to whom?


The sheep......

......Or the horse?

 

[The Original Kao]

LOL
i think she looks lovely in all her sheep skin

 

[lexiedhb]

Do you have a sensitive botty that requires all that padding???

 

[Alibear]

Bloody hell I'd fall off with all that padding you can't sit into the saddle!

 

[MizElz]

I did feel somewhat....perched

But my backside weighs so much, it soon squished all the sheepskin down

 

[rubyred]

Surprised the tendon boots aren't sheepskin lined!

I did have some beautiful Barnsby ones with plush sheepskin lining, but they were a little big for her, and I had to sell them

And as we are just happy hackers now, I cannot really warrant buying new ones, only for them to get caked in mud everytime we go out!

 

[RunToEarth]

Oh good god!! One of the horses I am riding has one of those massive sheepskin covers for her breastgirth- I feel a right plonker hacking her about in it!!

 

[jellyshake]

lol she's going to start baaa-ing at you soon she's got so much wool

 

[jacksmum]

Well i think that saddle looks sooooo comfy, i like

 

[RLF]

ha ha loving that enormous noseband

 

[Silverspring]

i love those sheepskin half pads, they take you so far away from your horses back it gives them the best excuse ever to ignore you seat aids

why do you not just remove the noseband if she has a sensitive face? Or does she have all that sheepskin on for another reason? *cough*fashion*cough*

 

[seche]

ME TOO! - last time I rode with one of those was when I was in agony working at Mikes where were riding 8 racehorses out at day each!!!

Im supprised you dont have sheepskin OR boots? and breastplate sleeve! Or 5 point padded jobby!? Cheekpieces?

Must be a nightmare to keep it all spotless

 

[jules89]

u need a breastplate put on and a cover on tht!!!

and im thinking....fancy dress....sheep!!!

 

[Nudibranch]

Ooh that girth sleeve looks comfy though.

 

[MizElz]

I dont think Ellie minds being dressed up like a sheep - even if she is terrified of them! I am amazed how clean it all looks - the riser pad is only a few weeks old, but the girth sleeve has now had 7 years of constant use, and looks pretty smart! It all goes through the washing machine, then I use a mane comb to comb it all through afterwards

I must confess.....I have no real reason for using it all other than fashion (although the noseband has now replaced my martingale, and does a great job at stopping her sticking her nose in the air). I have a riser because.....I like risers, I have a saddle cover because it stops my nails scratching the leather of my saddle (poor excuse!) and I have the girth cover because she can be very sensitive there, and it stops it rubbing

 

[*hic*]

I think I'm suffering from pudding withdrawal symptoms - your saddle reminds me irresistably of a pavlova . . . . . . . . . *drools*

 

[TicTac]

soft soft soft........so where are her sheepskin booties then? lol
