Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Monogrammed stuff, bling on my helmet, a halter name plate ... what has happened to the conservative me, the one who likes black and quiet and unobtrusive? Over Christmas break I watched Invasion of the Body Snatchers ... creepiest movie ever, and wondered, could that be it? Fortunately, there don't seem to be any weird pods stuffed in my closets, so I think I am okay. While it's been a bit of a slow process, I think that Amanda, from over at Bel Joeor, has managed to set free my inner bling lover. When she bought Izzy a halter name plate for Christmas, I was so delighted with the gift that I bought one for Speedy too. I can't quit looking at it ... it's absolutely fantastic. Please tell me what else I can bling, monogram, or label. I am totally hooked!

Lol! You can name plate you saddle and bridle, have you seen those going stirrup irons? Or how about the tooled dressage saddles? IRS a slippery slope but there are several things I'd love if I had the money! Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse. After helping me earn a USDF Bronze medal in the summer of 2020, he is now semi-retired. Speedy is a 2004, 15'1 hand, purebred Arabian gelding. His Arabian Horse Registry name is G Ima Starr FA.
