Thursday's Threads: Autumn Edition Part III

 

This is the final edition of Autumn Thursday's Threads, and I think it's cute! Shiny is our model today, but she was kind of grumpy about it, so forgive the lack of happy ears in her photos... Lol. Mares. Anyway, here's what she had on this week:

She was of the opinion that I was riding way too late and she was pouting. 

Bridle: Joseph Sterling
Browband: Home made

Can't even stay awake for this nonsense! Her browband is the same as the one Eros had on a couple of weeks ago. They are so cute, I love the leaf beads. 

Saddle: Butet
Half Pad: Stephens
Baby Pad: Ogilvy

Her new half pads arrived finally, so she will have Mattes half pads moving forward like the boys. I could actually feel a difference in how she goes once we switched, and I swear those are just the best sheepskin half pads around. The horses love them. I seem to have not grabbed a close up of the ribbon on her pad, but it's just repeating fall maple leaves which match the browband perfectly! 

She wasn't wearing boots since it was a flat ride. So it's my turn! Here's what I wore for this outfit day:

Really brought the fall colors to this one!

Helmet:

I went with the brown helmet for this one to match my boots. Brown feels very autumnal to me.

Shirt: Luyaa

I actually got this shirt for my Winnie the Pooh costume a few years back. Figured it was time to bring it back out. 

Belt: Mane Jane

Also thought this brown belt was a nice choice for this bright outfit. 

Breeches: Vestrum

I snagged these on sale many years ago, and have been pleasantly surprised at how frequently I actually wear them! 

Boots: Horka

I haven't worn these much, so figured this was a great outfit for them. I bought them MANY years ago, but then I sent them with my dad to get a patch put on the inside. For some reason they had that same patent leather on the inside and they were awful to ride in. So I had a plain leather patch put on. Problem was I sent them with my dad to take to his shoe guy in the city and he forgot about them for awhile. And then I forgot about them entirely. Several years went by and he surprised me with the repaired boots! It was like my birthday since I had pretty much forgotten the existed. Anyway, here they are! And they're great now!

That's it for today! Did you enjoy the fall outfit series? 

Thursday's Threads: Autumn Edition Part 2

 

Outfit Day!! I'm still embracing the season over here, and it's Al's turn this week to model. Here's what he had on:

He had zero interest in looking at the camera. 

Bridle: Joseph Sterling
Browband: Home made by me

This is a new prototype browband. In the past, when I did these sewn on brow bands, I used nylon. But I wanted to see if I could do it on velcro to work with my interchangeable prototype browband. And it worked! I still want to make a more polished version of the interchangeable browband, but for now, I'm excited that this is working! Also, how cute are those fox buttons?

Saddle: Butet
Half Pad: Mattes
Baby pad: Ogilvy, embellished by me

I clearly should have grabbed a close up of the ribbon, because it's hard to see here. It has leaves and foxes repeating all along it. Very cute!

Al didn't have boots on since we're just flatting these days. So it's my turn! Here's what I wore this week:

Fall is fox hunting season, so I figured it was the perfect time for a fox outfit. 

Helmet: One K Defender

I picked the brown helmet for this outfit. Even though I don't think you can wear a brown helmet fox hunting. But I'm not sure on that either.

Sweater: Modcloth

I have a few fox sweaters, but most of them are blue for some reason. I love this one since it's green.

Belt: C4

The other reason I love the sweater is that it's a pretty perfect match to this belt I have. 

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

Still warm enough for Tailoreds, but pretty soon I'll be back in the Dover Wellesleys. 

Boots: Horka

The distressed brown boots seemed like an appropriate choice for an autumnal look. Plus, they match my helmet nicely!

That's it for this week! We have one more autumn edition coming up next week, so come back for that one. It will be Shiny's turn to model!

Thursday's Threads: Autumn Edition Part I

 

Outfit Day!! We'll be doing Autumn themes for the month of October and today is the first edition! Eros is our model today, so let's see what he has on:

Please excuse my shadow... I feel like Eros is an Autumn, Shiny is a summer and Al is a winter. If I wasn't so overwhelmed I'd be looking for a spring... 

Bridle: Joseph Sterling
Browband: Home made by me

This is one of my favorite silly browbands. I made it a couple of years ago, and I look forward to using it every October! I'm disappointed in myself for only making a horse and a cob though. I should have made two horse sized. Al will have something different for his Autumn week. 

Saddle: Butet
Saddle Pad: Ogilvy
Half Pad: Mattes

I love this fall themed ribbon! The old timey pick up truck and pumpkins! So cute!

Eros didn't wear any wraps today since we're just flatting these days. (My neighbor has been trying really hard to off us, so we're keeping things a little simple this week.) 

My turn! Here's what I wore for outfit day this week:

I'm not sure cow screams Autumn, but I wanted to wear them. And it's my outfit so I did. 

Helmet: One K Avance CCS with MIPS

Still loving my sparkly front shield on this helmet, almost a year later!

Sweater: Pink Rose

Snagged this cute zip up cardigan from Marshall's a few weeks ago for like $15 and it is perfect for fall. Plus it matches all my stuff. Win-win!

Belt: Lucky Brand

This was one of my retail therapy purchases earlier this week. It's a little hard to see from this photo, but the cords running horizontally are brown and green and the stitches holding them on are tan, so it's PERFECT. Had to have it! Should have bought a size smaller, I need to punch a hole. Funny how differently belts fit with breeches vs jeans.

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

Over the last several months I've been stalking used tack stores, Facebook, and Poshmark for TS in the old fabric in my size. I snagged this pair from a second tack shop for under $100. Super deal, and they looked brand new!

Boots: Celeris UK

Sometimes blogger makes my photos really dark, and I find that a little annoying. Fortunately you all know how fab these boots truly are. My favorites!

And that's it for today. I'm already looking forward to next week's Thursday's Threads! Except, you should expect me to be dirty for that one as I have zero help for the next ten days. Oof. 

Thursday's Threads

 

Outfit Day! We almost didn't have one today. And it's half a repeat of last week. And our model is going out of turn. All of this because my worker called out sick today. I had some things for work I had to get done early, so I started chores late (fear not, I fed on time!) and then I had to drag the ring. So by the time I was free to start riding it was close to 4pm. So I only rode one today. And I picked Shiny. Here's what she was wearing today:

Yes, I didn't swap out our pads this week. They really aren't dirty, so one more inconsistent week it is for the brown pads!

Bridle: Joseph Sterling

Browband: Dark Jewel Designs

It took some begging to get her ears up for this photo. Thankfully, I swear this pony understands English because I explained to her that the sooner she takes a nice photo the sooner we get to our ride and then to dinner. Dinner got the ears up. 

Saddle: Butet
Saddle Pad: Ogilvy
Half Pad: Stephens

I'm still waiting on our new Mattes half pad. They take awhile. This one isn't bad though!

That's it for Shiny's outfit. She's not wearing boots for a flat day. So it's my turn! I made sure to wear something a little fun to make up for the repeat horse outfit. 

A little pink today! I love pink and green together. 

Helmet: One K Avance CCS Mips

My helmet isn't actually that dirty. That is Deep Woods Off dry formula. The gnats here are out of control! And I don't want to have to go back on the prednisone for gnat bites. 

Top: Annva

I have mixed feelings about this top. The material is softer than some of the other brands I wear, but it also makes the hay stick more. So that's annoying. I love the color though.

Belt: Tory Burch

Tory Burch makes a nice belt. I have a few and they have all held up really nicely for many years. 

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

This is a great shade of pink! They match really nicely with the pink on my lime green boots too. So you'll probably see them again pretty soon because I haven't worn those boots in awhile. 

Boots: Celeris UK

The pink boots are still so fun! They're one of my older pairs, but I still love them. And they're in great shape too!

That's it for today. Some day I will have something fun for you guys again. Hopefully.

Outfit Day! We're still being boring over here, but fun boots make it a little better. Eros is our model today, and here's what he had on:

I know he's lost some muscles, but he sure is looking pretty good otherwise. The belly isn't hanging quite so low these days. 

Bridle: Pinnacle
Browband: Boy O'Boy Bridleworks

I'm not sure why this photo is so dark here, it looks normal on my phone... Oh well. Here is Eros modeling with his eyes closed because he's had enough of me, but also his ears are up because he likes to look nice.

Saddle: Butet
Half Pad: Mattes
Baby Pad: Ogilvy

Plugging along with our love of neutrals over here! I really love these brown pads. I'm so glad they brought this color back!

We didn't jump so Eros didn't have any leg protection on today. So it's my turn! Here's what I had on:

Layers my friends. We've reached layering season. 

Helmet: One K Avance CCS MIPS

Went with this helmet today because I wanted a little sparkle. 

Zip up: Aerie (I think)

I had to get my annual bloodwork done today so I had to wear short sleeves, but it is not short sleeves weather. So I added this zip up on top. Which wound up being the perfect layers for today's weather. It wasn't terribly cold, mid 60's I think, but it was pretty windy making it feel cooler. 

Belt: Tory Burch

Tory Burch has lovely belts. They wear really well. I've had this one for several years now and it looks almost new still.

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

I finally found a reasonably priced pair of brown TS to add to my hoard now that this fabric is discontinued. 

Boots: Celeris UK

Nothing makes a stressful week a little happier than cow print boots! Trust me. It's true. 

And that's it for today! Any favorites? Starting to feel like fall where you are yet?
