Thursday's Threads: Thanksgiving Edition

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I didn't actually ride my horses today, but I planned ahead and dressed Shiny up in her Thanksgiving finest yesterday. She is our model this week, and here's what she wore:

Bridle: Joseph Sterling
Browband: Homemade by me

I thought about making new funny beaded brow bands for Thanksgiving, but honestly, I really don't think I can do better than this one anyway. Also, Shiny got clipped last week, and she looks so cute!

Saddle: Custom Saddlery
Saddle Pad: Equine Star

Turkey Pad! I think these came out so cute. And yes, Shiny is back in the belly band. She's a little more sensitive after being clipped and was starting to get a rub from my spur. 

Boots: Equine Star

Seriously, I think the turkey print is the best one of my Equine Star prints. Probably anyway. 

So that's what Shiny wore. I forgot to take pics of my outfit, but I do have a work around... First, this photo below is what I wore with Shiny's outfit, but I'm on Al in the screen shot:

I'm wearing the same Samshield as always and the newest De Niro boots. The breeches are ROMFH Sarafina Euro Grip and the color is maple. I REALLY like them. Highly recommend. I'm also wearing an old Ariat sweater that is olive with tan elbow patches, and it's all topped off with an Eddie Bauer vest that's black.

And to make up for the lack of outfit photos, I also have both Thanksgiving outfits that I wore today. First up is what I wore to the barn to take my ponies for a hand walk. 

That's a Tipsy Elves sweater, the jeans are True Religion, and the belt is Lilo. It's on sale right now over at Chagrin Saddlery if you want one!

And this is what I wore to my brother's house for T-day dinner:

It's pretty much all generic Amazon purchases. Except the shoes which are also generic but they came from Zulily awhile ago. It's tough to see in the photo, but the sweater has pumpkin pie slices around the sleeve and some acorns up at the top. It's pretty cute. 

And that's it for Thanksgiving outfit fun this year! Hope you all had a lovely day!

Thursday's Threads... Friday edition

 

I had to postpone the Thanksgiving edition of Thursday's Threads since I didn't end up riding on Thursday. But fear not! I'm here a day late with some ridiculousness to share. I'll start with my outfit, and I apologize for only having a partial full photo. 

Yes, I wore this sweatshirt last year. And yes, I will likely wear it again next year too. 

Sweatshirt: Rue 21

I mean, it's pretty accurate. I ate so much yesterday, I'm still full!

Belt: Unbranded

It LOOKS like a Louis Vuitton. But I can assure you, it is not. 

Breeches: Smartpak

I've sold most of my pipers but I've held on to this pair because I like the metallic piping. The stitching is more orange than copper so I figured they would work well with Thanksgiving theme. 

Socks: Dreamers and Schemers

These aren't Thanksgiving socks, but they matched my outfit.

Okay, so that's what I wore to the barn on Thanksgiving. And now it's the horses' turn! Al had a training ride today, so only Eros and Shiny dressed up. Here's what they wore:

Bridles: Joseph Sterling
Browbands: made by me

Turkey browbands!!! Ha! I will never grow up. Hope no one's waiting for that.

Saddle pads: 

Eros- Equine Star

Shiny- FSS

I'm replacing that pad of Shiny's since it's a little too small for that saddle. This is probably it's last time on the blog. Say goodbye! (Also it's for sale if anyone is interested. Fits up to a 16.5" close contact saddle. Or a 17 that's just less bulky. It worked with the old Butet. Make me an offer!) But let's just take a moment to appreciate that Turkey pad, shall we? I had some fun with clipart... I think it's amazing. If you disagree, keep it to yourself. I forgot to bring the brown half pad with me though, so we failed in the matching department. Something work on for next year I guess. 

Boots: Equine Star

You knew there'd be boots, right? I mean, who buys a pad like that and doesn't get boots?

So that's it for Thanksgiving. Next week is Chanukah already! I still have a spirit week outfit to share too, so there will be some fun outfits to come still. I imagine most of January will be pretty boring, outfit wise, so I'm excited to have some silly things to share now at least.
