We've Had a Clearout - I Can Actually SEE the Conservatory Floor!

[JAK]

Took to tackshop:

20 rugs
6 girths
4 velvet browbands
4 headcollars
4 leadropes
1 breastplate
2 numnhas
3 snaffle bits
1 saddle

And I still have more stuff to sort through!
If it all sells (hell, if half of it sells!), I'll be rich I tell you.....rich!

[Parkranger]

Holy crap! Better get buying some more stuff to fill up the conservatory again!

 

[JAK]

Yes, 'tis all Druid's fault actually - she made me buy LBO (& all the others!) loads of Horseware Ireland rugs, which I am now addicted to, so I have to get rid of all the 'unwanted' ones of other makes!

Have started collecting a few Fal Pro ones now too, which OH says is fine, as long as I shift the spare ones I don't want! Sad! Truly sad!

Also, am on a lifelong mission to colour co-ordinate everything & one day, when I am old & grey (& the ponies are older & greyer!), I may actually achieve this 'ambition'!

 

[PapaFrita]

Ah... so the stuff that isn't allowed in your immaculate tack room goes into the house!!
Have you tried actually using tack as interior decoration?

I've got a saddle in the bathroom and bridles and bits on the walls.... most decorative!!

 

[PapaFrita]

... Wait a minute... HOW many rugs??????????!!!!!!!

 

[H's mum]

mmwwaaahhaaa and the world will be mine.. all MINE!!

like your style Jak!

I physically couldn't fit the rugs in anywhere else & I refuse to have them all cleaned & then 'store' them on the stable walls, to get covered in dust & cobwebs & eaten by mice!

Took 20.....have 26 left!

Between three ponies though - OK, four ponies - SWUO has one l/w turnout but she never wears it - it just sits there in all its pristine lilac prettiness!

Style & colour co-ordination is everything, though I fear the world will actually be Horseware Ireland's, as they will have all my money!

 

[H's mum]

haha! I know the feeling - I was hoping to colour coordinate but it all went pete-tong after a while! LOL!!!

Aw c'mon you can't blame me for EVERYTHING!

(Though...let me know what you're clearing out, I have a new little one coming for winter!)

 

[Beanyowner]

You haven't got any 6'3 rugs in that collection have you?!?

ooooops, I have about 20 for ONE ginger monster.... ha ha ha!

 

[airedale]

gosh - if I chucked out for sale all the spare rugs/tack/bits/etc that I have - filling up 4 trunks in the shed - then I'm sure I'd immediately need to buy something I'd just sold

got 3 saddles kicking around somewhere - but they are the old 'hunting sort and 171/2 inch ones - no-one wants those now. Then there are grass reins, nosebands, helpp.....................

but then one of the livery ponies had a rubbed browband area after sweating it out at PC camp doing more work than usual - so it's now wearing the browband (horse-size) of my old horses double bridle that hasn't been used in 12 years

.......now if I'd sold that bridle................
...........suppose the livery would have had to put hands in pocket and buy their own outside browband......
.....perhaps I'm too nice - thinking about it two liveries using my bits, one using a rug of mine, another one with flash strap of mine, another one..........

ho hum - better not sell the stuff in those trunks in the shed yet !!!!

 

[Gingernags]

I might just have a 6'3" LW turnout and matching jersey cooler... Amigo ones...

However, they are in PEACH! Look great on the ginger one!

 

[Boodle]

If you have any cob breast plates give me a shout! []

I should clear out.. but "I might need it one day".

 

[Beanyowner]

PEACH!!! I think Benson would actually KILL ME!!!!!

No sorry, donated all in that size to poor 'wardrobe deficient' GRO!

 

[Clodagh]

You have inspired me JAK, I must do my cupboards. (They are big cupboards!!).
Trouble is, I can't get rid of anything that Clodagh used to wear...her stuff doesn't fit new ned and have bought new...and as I can't afford a thermatex I need 8 cooler rugs!!
I will try tomorrow...I collect weatherbeetas!!

 

[lennysmith]

*whispers* anything in a 5'9??

I don't blame you for everything........just the vast quantity of H.I. rugs I have now acquired!

And thank goodness for it - thanks more than partly to you, have finally found a brand that fits, works, lasts and comes in lots of pretty colours!

See......I'm not that bad then! LOL

airedale - You're too nice!

I'm always lending stuff out too but eventually I thought "Oh, s*d it, go & buy your own!" It's not like they're desperate or anything, half the time it's 'cos they can't be bothered to clean their own stuff or worse, have bloomin' put it down somwhere & lost it!

 

[JAK]

That's a lot of cooler rugs!

What size is new horsey then?
