Thursday's Threads

 

Outfit day again! I know we've been a little boring lately. But fear not, Valentine's day is coming! In the meantime, we're a little boring again today. Eros is our model though, and he looks as handsome as ever! Here's what we wore for today:

Thanks to the mirror for our fab photo. And also for somehow making my leg look long and lean rather than stubby as they actually are in real life. 

Bridle: Joseph Sterling

Brow Band: Dark Jewel Designs

He wore his D bit this week for outfit day because we did some "jumping" yesterday over that little raised cavalletti you can see in the corner of this photo. 

Saddle: Butet
Saddle Pad: Ogilvy
Half Pad: Mattes

Exciting news here friends! Eros' saddle should arrive back to us THIS WEEKEND fully re-paneled and ready to make his back happy again. Hopefully that means this is the last Thursday's Threads in which Eros will be using his brother's saddle. We are all very excited.

Wraps: Eskadron

Forgive all the dirt on there... The ring here has Travel-Lite footing which is lovely, but it's wax and sticks to everything. Comes off in the wash easily but I don't wash these every ride, so they're a little dirty. 

That's what Eros was wearing this week, and here's what I had on:

I also wore a vest from Columbia in a cognac color which you saw in the first photo. They make my favorite outer wear, but it's hit and miss if they have any good colors in a given season. 

Helmet: One K Avance CCS with MIPS

Yep, still wearing this guy with the same color set up. I actually had to go in my emails and see how long I've had this one as it seems like it's been a really long time. Fortunately, it still has a good year or so left before I need to replace it. 

Sweater: THML

I forget if I got this from 2nd Round Equestrian or Chagrin Saddlery, but I think they both carried it. It's from last year, and I'm so glad I got it! I wear it all the time, and I just think it's adorable. 

Belt: Zazzle

I've done a real number on the buckle part of this belt, but otherwise it's holding up nicely! I love these belts and really hope Zazzle brings them back at some point. They've been out of stock for awhile now.

Breeches: Dover Wellesley

These have a cute leopard piping and I'm really sad that Dover isn't doing cute piping on these pants anymore. Or even cute colors. How boring. 

Half Chaps and Boots: Celeris UK

It got above freezing a couple times this week so I traded the full chaps for my sheepskin lined half chaps. The mirror photo isn't showing the colors very well, that light part is rose gold. I'm a fan of these. Definitely recommend sheepskin lining if you live where it gets cold. Which is pretty much everywhere these days.

That's it for this week! Any favorites?
