I Definitely Started It

If you saw Amanda's post yesterday, you already know I've been accused of basically being a drug dealer that introduced her to unicorn bridle padding that led her down a rabbit hole of possibly customizing a noseband with black sparkles for a bridle for Presto. You know what I have to say to that?


Although I guess if you want to get technical, you could blame the FB algorithm for making my comment show up in her feed. Or if you realllllllly want to get technical, you can blame Megan, since she's the one who showed me the photo of the unicorn bridle and then I decided I had to have it so I found her an even BETTER rainbow bridle so I didn't feel guilty about buying the first one out from under her. Friends don't let friends tack ho alone, I'm just sayin'.


Anyway. I digress. So yeah, I got another bridle. I can already hear you now "but Leah, don't you have enough bridles?" First of all, is there such a thing as enough bridles? Second of all, yes probably but I didn't have any unicorn bridles, so your argument is invalid. I *did* have unicorn stirrups, a unicorn bit, and unicorn spurs though, so this was a natural progression. Except my bit was already on a bridle and I didn't want to swap it, so I needed *another* bit... you see where this is going, right?
Yeah. That's where it was going. 

Conveniently enough, everything shipped out SUPER fast and miraculously all showed up at the same time yesterday -- yes I said all, clearly there was more than just a bridle and a bit, you'll just have to be patient about the rest haha. So on my lunch break, I was able to put this together and snap a few impromptu photos. Cinna, as you can see, was less than impressed. 


So subtle. So pretty. 

The browband that came on it was... not my taste. Too yellow and pink for me. 

So I swapped it out for a Topline I had sitting in my bin just waiting for a bridle.

"I don't get fed enough cookies for this shit"

SIGH


Of course, the minute I got off work I went out to ride (and also see if I could get photos of the bridle with my stirrups, naturally). Do you know how hard it is to get a good photo of a wiggly horse that shows stirrups, bit, and subtle noseband padding? So. Uh. Yeah. My photos aren't great. But I had a really good ride and Cinna's entire outfit was on point so that made me smile. 

Not on my boots yet.  But someday.


Anyway. So I guess that's the story of how I definitely am a bad influence on Amanda and contributing to her buying sparkly tack. Again, all I have to say to that is...

    1. I can't WAIT.
      And yeah, I really like this. It's not as in your face as some of the padding, just enough to give it a little pizazz!

    1. Oh they definitely come in brown too 😂 maybe not the one I bought specifically but the FSS rainbow one definitely does and there are others!

  5. Currently thankful that A. I already ordered a new bridle (much less exciting than yours, but everyone needs a base model) and am eagerly awaiting its arrival and B. none of the cute ones come in oversize. I'm living for your fancy purchases, though!

    1. Haha don't worry I have plenty of "base model" type bridles, those are so handy to have around! But you're right, it is kind of sucky that some of these interesting ones don't come in OS :( boo.

    1. A rainbow bridle is never a bad thing to have in your tack room 😉
