Today's confession is that I spent almost all of my braiding money on new blankets for the horses. And I don't even feel badly about it. I think I finally have exactly what I want for weights. Hopefully. We shall see how they work out over the winter. Our previous turnout gear had almost all lost it's water proofing and some of them had holes. So it was time. And I wasn't happy with my stable wardrobe last year. The 100 grams didn't fit the horses properly, the drop was too short and they shifted a lot. I'd come in to them kind of hanging off one side. And the heavies, while lovely and warm and cozy actually weighed A LOT. As I'm aging, I have a lot more aches and pains in the cold weather, and those very heavy blankets were pretty difficult for me to get up on the bigger horses. So I ordered the Amigo's for inside. I had similar ones from Amigo at the old boarding barn, and I really liked them other than the color. So hopefully I will like these too.
Anyone else getting ready for the dark season? I dislike winter so much, that I'm hoping having new outfits for the horses will at least bring a little joy.
