Truthful Tuesday

 

This one was a legit surprise to me. When I built the barn, I made sure to move alllll the horse stuff out of my house and out to the barn where it belongs. Or so I thought anyway. This weekend I was in the closet in the guest room looking for a tote bag I had in there. I don't dig through that closet too often, it mostly houses my show clothes and has known to also house a rodent or two. Ew. So yeah... I kinda avoid it. 

Anyway, so I was in the closet looking for a tote bag, and do you know what I found?! A brand new Mattes hunter pad. BRAND NEW. I don't even remember buying it. 

I have regular Wilkers pads to show with for the boys if they should go in the hunter ring, but Shiny uses these pads with the built in half pad. I do have one for her, but it's not as nice as this one. Plus, it's nice to have two since you can't really wash and dry these over night. 

The only negative is that at some point it did have a mouse napping inside it. No damage other than some poo stains I need to scrub. 
Gross.

Have you ever discovered something like this hiding in your house?! (Not the mouse poo part, just the really nice item part.) I usually do a pretty good job of knowing what I own, but this was a pretty nice surprise. Wish I could remember how it got here.

  2. Haha nice! Definitely nothing quite that nice, but occasionally cleaning out drawers or closets will reveal things I was sure were lost to the abyss forever! :)

  3. 100% found a mattes girth I didn't know I had a while back. No idea where that came from, but it is pretty nice.

    1. Maybe there's some kind of Mattes fairy leaving us presents?

    1. Mine isn't particularly large either, but I do avoid that one closet...
      Finding money is the best! I got one of those brushes to clean the lint trap in the dryer and found 2 dollars the first time I used it!
