Truthful Tuesday

 

Ugh. Guys. I bought some stuff again. I have some issue with FOMO apparently and when things are labeled limited edition or the shop says they only have a few... well. Sometimes things get bought. Though, one thing I stumbled upon and ordered but I did have a need. So, um. Let's see what I got.

First, the thing I stumbled upon but did actually need. 

I finally got a bike helmet! I received a bike for my 15th work anniversary a couple years ago (which is still in the box and I need to put together...) but don't have a bike helmet. I'll mostly use the bike if and when I ever show again to get from stalls to ring, so probably I'd have the riding helmet on anyway... but figured it would be wise to have a real bike helmet too. I mean, I might want to actually ride the thing outside of horses... Plus I bought the helmet with rewards points, so it didn't cost me anything out of pocket. And yes, it's metallic gold! Also has a flashy light on the back and is equipped with MIPS.

The next thing wasn't a huge need, but was something I didn't have. So that's something anyway. 

It's a lunging cavesson (QHP brand)! The noseband part is a leather covered chain. But it's pretty heavily covered, so I'm not sure they'd feel much, if any, chain pressure honestly. Which I like. The other feature I really like is that it has removable bit hangers so you have that option as well. Con was that it only came in black. But does it even matter? You don't ride with it. My only other issue is that now that I have a pony, I have to buy two of anything that's sized. So I had to get a horse size AND a cob size. These things add up.

Okay. Well. That brings us to the truly unnecessary thing. This one was irresponsible. Completely. Though I did pay about half what I would have paid if I bought it in the US. So there's that. 

I bought the all matte Samshield. I know. It doesn't have MIPS. I just... well. I really think it's pretty. And I had a weak moment real late on Saturday night. Had it not been in stock I probably wouldn't have done it. But alas. There it was. If anyone else has a need for a Samshield (despite it's lack of MIPS, I know, I'm a hypocrite) check out Equishop. They have the best prices and stock a lot of fun ones.

Oh! I did make one other purchase that I have yet to actually deliver to its recipient... 

It's a monkey rope toy for Pammon. And it's HUGE! Like three feet tall. His unicorn is unwell so it was time for a new toy. If I have time tonight I'll give it to him, but likely it will be tomorrow.

So yeah. Those are today's confessions. Anything you need to confess? Do any irresponsible shopping?
