Thursday's Threads: Thanksgiving Edition

 

Nothing I love more than a good theme! Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that children terrify me, I would have made a fabulous kindergarten teacher. I have a partially new Thanksgiving outfit this year and Eros is our model. Here's what he was wearing:

He's so photogenic. Even with a too long mane and a dreary day. And also, do you guys notice how trim he looks? He certainly isn't a big fan of diets, but he's really looking pretty good. 

Bridle: Joseph Sterling
Brow Band: Home made by me

This part of the outfit is not new. We've used it every year for the last many. But it's adorable! I made the brow band from a dog leash. 

Saddle: Butet

Half Pad: Mattes

Baby Pad: Ogilvy (embellished by me)

The last many years we've been using the turkey pad and boot set that I had made, but I don't love the pads. So I decided to put together something new this year, and this is that! I thought this ribbon was super cute. 

Polos: Centaur, embellished by me

But honestly, this ribbon was even cuter! It says Gobble Til You Wobble (which you'll see that phrase again shortly) and then the other wrap says It's Turkey Time. So cute!

Okay, that's what E was wearing, and here's what I had on:

My outfit is not new. But it's a solid Thanksgiving effort. 

Helmet: One K

I went with the brown one for today's outfit. To match the Turkey. I would have loved to use the orange rails, but this helmet doesn't have the color change system.

Hoodie: Unsure of brand

You've all seen this at some point over the years. I've had it forever and ever. I was very excited when I found that ribbon that said the said the same thing!

Belt: Home made by me

This is the same ribbon that's on the boots. Obviously I had to use it on my interchangeable belt too!

Breeches: Vestrum

The Halloween breeches double very nicely as Thanksgiving breeches too. 

Boots: Horka

I thought these were perfectly appropriate for this outfit, but I also wore them because we got so much rain and everything was muddy. These are my muddy day boots.

That's it for today! What do you think of our new Thanksgiving set? I hope all of you that celebrate had a wonderful Thanksgiving today! I definitely did, and made time to reflect on all the things I'm thankful for while I did chores this morning. Among the many things I'm grateful for is all of you guys. I really enjoy interacting with all of you and following along on your adventures with your horses. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursdays Threads: Thanksgiving Edition

 

Outfit day! Al really wanted to be the Thanksgiving model and who am I to argue? Here's what we had on:

I'm really enjoying the mirrors in the indoor. I think Al likes them too.

Here's a closer shot of Al's outfit:

Post lunge, pre ride. How about that shiny coat of his? We're loving the new feed.

Bridle: Joseph Sterling
Brow band: Made by me

I made these brow bands from a dog leash. And they are ADORABLE. Those are little turkeys on it, which is hard to see without enlarging.

Saddle: Butet
Half Pad: Ippico
Saddle Pad: Equine Star

Turkey for you, Turkey for me... Anyone else have Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving song living rent free in your brain this week? No? Just me? Okay then... You might now though.

Boots: Equine Star

MORE TURKEYS! I just love a good theme.

So that's what Al had on. And here's what I wore:

I know. Ridiculous. Ridiculous happens to be my happy place though.

Helmet: One K

I brought the brown and rose gold One K out for this week's outfit. Al was less then thrilled to be featured in the photo however.

Sweater: Tipsy Elves

If you're ever thinking to yourself, "wow, I REALLY need to find a holiday themed sweater" then you need to click on over to the Tipsy Elves website. They always deliver.

Belt: Designer Inspired

This buckle is still going strong, but sadly this was the last ride for the strap. It's cracking all over and falling apart. Sad day for my orange belt strap. 

Breecches: Dover Wellesley

I love my Wellesley breeches for winter. They're just a bit thicker than say TS breeches without feeling bulky. They do run big though, and I may have to consider replacing my collection with a size down. Although after my gluttony at Thanksgiving dinner, these may fit better by the weekend... #noregrets

Socks: Dreamers and Schemers

Admittedly, these are maybe more Halloween than Thanksgiving with the jack o lanterns on there, but they also have PUMPKIN PIE and that is very much Thanksgiving worthy.

Boots: Horka

Mirror selfies win again! These boots have been great for my current everyday pair at the new place. I hope I don't kill them too quickly! But cold weather is coming so I imagine we'll be seeing more of the sheepskin lined paddock boots soon enough.

And that's it for today! Hope everyone who celebrates had a lovely Thanksgiving today! I celebrated with my mom and brother and ate way too much. So I'll call that a success. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
