Oh, and -- List.

Two new sets of side reins. One to replace the set I borrowed from a friend and that was terminally separated at some point, and one for my own. That's the primary need, the replacement set. I should make this list a link so I can add to it when I think of things.

• Two sets of Nunn Finer side reins with elastic - one horse size to give to friend, one pony size for Rev


• Saddle covers! I keep forgetting -- this is really important, and I should put it at the top of the list. Done.


• Stirrup pads that wrap around


• Half chaps


• Hat deodorizer


• Charcoal pouch for hat


• The Right Bit (this may take some time and be multiple bits. I am thinking a boucher might be something to try for dressage? Or a mullen mouth? The twisted snaffle seems to work for jumping.)


• Waverly bridle from Five Star Tack


• Mountain Horse winter paddock boots, maybe even tall MH winter boots, for the inevitable muck


• A light turnout blanket for fall and spring


• More FITS breeches -- but maybe not until I get to a different, final size? Tan, white, and any other color. Tan and white for showing, whatever other non-white color for schooling.


• A dressage coat


• Crown Royal bag for my clippers. Anyone out there a Crown drinker?


• New body protector -- a Rodney Powell.


• Point Two or Hit-Air vest.


• Wrap-around prescription sunglasses. Do they even make those?


• Two horse, bumper pull, dressing room, slant-load, lightweight trailer.

That's about all for this iteration of the list. I'm sure I have updates, but I can't think of them at the moment. Heck, this is over $1000, maybe closer to $3000 worth of stuff, not counting the trailer. I think that's plenty for now!!
