All I want for Christmas are Two Bell Boots!

12/6/2011

The blogosphere is rapidly filling up with posts about gift ideas for the holidays. I'm not writing a gift suggestion post as there are many good ones out there already. This is my own personal Gee, Santa, I think I've been really good this year list. I am pretty sure that I did what I was supposed to do this year so I have dutifully filled out my wish list and sent it off to the big guy. Which really means I printed an on-line shopping cart and gave it to Hubby. He's remarkably good at picking out the equine stuff I like. And since he hates to buy jewelry and prefers to buy fun and practical stuff, I'd say my list should satisfy him. Here's what was on it ...

The Steffen Peters Dressage Show Pad - This pad is available from Dover for $47.90. It comes in black or white. I am asking for black. This is for Sydney.

I need some new pull on bell boots, and these seemed like they would do the trick. These are also from Dover and sell for $10.90 a pair - I asked for two pair. Since these would be for Sydney, Large please. Color doesn't matter.

Again, from Dover, this is the Kerrits Ventilator Pocket Short Sleeve Shirt. Both of my show shirts are just okay. One is a bit small, and the other is plain old cotton which gets wet under my show coat. This shirt comes in several colors, but for showing, I need a white one. Medium please. It currently sells for $39.90.

The Horseware Kittson Technical Softshell Jacket, available at Smartpak for $92.95, is a bit pricey, but my birthday is also coming up soon. I like this jacket because it is both lightweight and waterproof. Perfect for California's mild winters. Medium please.

I don't think my list is out of control or on the wild side. Practical and functional, yes. Extravagant, no. Horse people tend to be very similar so I am guessing that most of you have already provided your "Santa" with a list that looks a lot like mine. So, how 'bout it?
Anyone out there with a similar list?

My list also includes tons of horse stuff, but of most of the items are things I have to continue purchasing.
I would like a couples bottles of the Absorbine Refresh Mint body wash and a new body sponge to cut through the grim after riders in winter, since it's too cold to rinse them down. It does wonders when you run a spongeful over a grimy, stinky coat. Also on the list is more Dove shampoo and conditioner, my mares white tails never take a holiday from getting dirty. And of course, ANOTHER bottle of Show Sheen for the coming year.
For kicks and giggles, a pair of black dress boots to accompany my black field boots would be wonderful, size 8.5 wide calf please. :)

Ooh, Erica, I LOVE your list! You can never have too much of any of that. Here's hoping Santa delivers!
