It's OUTFIT day! Did you think I skipped an Easter outfit since I'm Jewish and Passover overlapped this year? Well fear not. We have our Peeps finest for you today! Al is our main model today since he's well over due for a turn, but everyone got in on the fun so we'll have some extra photos at the end.
Here's what Al had on for Peeps day:
I've been throwing a little extra hay because our new load of Timothy weighs a lot less than the grass mix we usually get... But he's looking a lil' chonky so I may have to step back a bit on the extra. I imagine though, that as we get going with more work his weight will even out.
Bridle: Joseph Sterling
Browband: Homemade by me
Cap: Back On Track
Bunnies: Peeps
Honestly. He's so cute. I love his messy star.
Saddle: Butet
Half Pad: Ippico
Baby pad: Ogilvy, embellished by me
It was no small task trying to find Peeps ribbon that had the chicks. I really can't say why, but I much prefer the Peeps chicks to the bunnies. It doesn't make any sense. If you offered me a real bunny or a real chick, I'd choose the bunny, no question. But marshmallow treats? Give me the chick. Every time. Yet for some reason, the vast majority of Peeps merch is in the form of the bunny. Thankfully someone out there made some chicks ribbon.
Boots: Premier Equine, embellished by me
I was less successful finding fabric with chicks. But I DID find pet bandanas that worked just as well for the boot straps.
That's what Al had on, and here's what I was wearing:
Sadly, I couldn't ride with the bunnies because the wind was insane this day. They'd have blown right off. And I can't imagine Al would appreciate bunnies hitting him on the butt.
Helmet: One K Avance CCS with MIPS
Bunnies: Peeps
I found this headband this year at Walmart, and it's definitely my favorite of our Peeps headbands. They're fuzzy!
Sweatshirt: Fun
I was disappointed when this arrived as it was advertised as a sweater, but it's not. I got over that though because it's so ridiculous and I love it. Also, it features CHICKS!
Belt: C4
C4 also came through with a chicks belt. I've had this a few years now, and I still love it so much!
Breeches: Dover Wellesley
Last year I paired this top with purple breeches, but I didn't love it. So I tried these this year, and I think it's much better.
Socks: Dreamers and Schemers
Sneakers: Heelys
Had to wear the peeps sneakers out to the barn for today. But don't worry, I didn't get them dirty! Also, in this instance, the bunnies are definitely the appropriate choice for the tongue. But fear not, the chicks are featured on the sides. I've also accepted the bunnies on the socks. But if they made chicks next year, I'd defintely buy them. Just saying.
Boots: Celeris UK
I hummed and hawed about which boots to wear today. I almost chose the lilac ones, and I still think they'd be a great choice. But they are also still bleeding onto the saddle when I wear them, so I opted not to use them. I should find something to seal them with so I wear them more. Those and the mint ones. My pandemic boots. The only time my Celeris boots weren't perfect. Anyway. These pink ones work great for this outfit!
That's what we wore today! Here are some cute shots of Eros and Shiny with their bunnies too.
Shiny's bunnies are on springs, so I thought they might survive the wind. AND THEY DID!
