My Husbands Dream Saddle (head*desk)

I wouldn't call my husband a die hard horse lover like myself. He is more the type who loves them from afar. He loves watching them graze or chase each other in a field, helping me groom one of my dead broke geldings, or taking short rides on a horse that has its lower lip a few inches from the arena floor and only knows one gait... walking. (You know the kind). So today while I was cleaning and he was playing on the internet I hear him yell my name from the back of the house. He was all excited and I was praying he got an email saying that he had won publishers clearing house and I could hire a maid! I hurried to the computer room and was dumbfounded when he showed me a saddle he wanted and couldn't wait to see what I thought. He said "Now this is a saddle!".




Ugh, his hunting obsession is shining through full force. There isn't a month that goes buy when "some poor critter" isn't in season. Deer, rabbit (which I wish he would hunt more aggressively... little guys are eating my flower gardens this year), squirrel, coyote(really bad this year!), quail, and about anything else that can't be bought at a pet store.
He started rambling about the many patterns and combos he could get. Mossy Oak Break Up, Mossy Oak Brush, Real Tree APG, Advantage Classic and solid hunter orange!

Plus the option of brown ot black leather, piping or saddle skirt.

I Think I Found Rainbow Brights Saddle!


These saddles are just waaayyy to much. When I first laid eyes on them I was overcome with a serious case if the giggles. I had instant flashback's of my childhood watching Rainbow Brite, Pippi Longstockings (if she used a saddle) and My Little Pony.

Not only do these saddles have every color known to man on them, they are also available with seat sizes up to 17", so I know they weren't intended for children only.

I have yet to see a colored saddle show up at my arena... even from from the youngest barrel racers and ropers. So I'm starting to think that I am either surrounded by some great parents or some very smart and smart kids!
