After Margaret and I had such a fun time at the fall hunter pace, we opted to go again this spring! This time, while I rode Rejoice again, Margaret rode her horse Jester and had a friend ride Ladyhawke. All Kennebec Morgans!! Jester and Rejoice have the same dam and Jester and Lady share the same sire. Unfortunately instead of a lovely late spring day, we had one of the first intensely hot and humid days of the year. It was definitely a bummer, but the ride was mostly in the shade of the woods and we had a great time! most of the fences were 3' coops but we found a small log and this hay to jump haha Until we didn't. 😑 We brought along a third friend who rode Margaret's older mare, Ladyhawke. She's a good rider but hasn't known Ladyhawke for very long and didn't realize how much of a cranky boss mare she could be at times. She kicked Jester right in the front leg just about halfway through the ride, and while the cut itself ended up not being a big deal in the
I have been LUSTING over this saddle plate monogram from Swanky Saddle Co. and look it at every so often on my Pinterest board. I try not to be crazy about monogramming all the things, but I have been wanting a saddle plate for my new (to me) dressage saddle. Because of its large cantle, I thought a regular saddle plate like I have used in the past might look strange, so this larger roundish monogram seemed perfect. Also, I have a weird thing about loving silver colored plates on black tack and brass on brown LOL!
I LOVE how it looks on my saddle! It was a bit of a pain to attach, but I used a tiny drill bit to get the holes started and then the tiny nails went right in.
While perusing the Swanky Saddle Co. website, I found these cute brush monogram stickers, so I added two to my cart in the color "moss". Somehow I ended up being sent four, two in moss and two in emerald, so that was a fun surprise. Now that I see the colors in person as opposed to the computer screen, I think if I order more I would go with hunter green. Honestly, I am not sure why I didn't do the dark hunter green in the first place LOL! But heck, I still think they are super cute no matter what green they are! I put them on my show brushes because I figured that way they won't get quite as much wear and tear as my every day brushes.
