Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Okay, I don't NEED them, but my current collection of breeches is starting to look pretty weary. It also doesn't help that I lost 42 pounds and gained back 30. Everything pre-42 lost pounds was getting old. Everything post-30 pound gain is way too tight. It's not like I have a bunch of money sitting around either. Speedy's Prascend order is in the process of getting filled. That's $340 bucks. My current eye glass frames date back to 2016. I just ordered new every day frames and a separate pair of sunglasses the total of which came to a bit over $400. My truck needs new tires, and I think something is going on with my brakes. That visit to Les Schwab is going to run about a grand. And yet, I would still like a new pair of breeches. I am eyeballing these cutie pies from Lemieux. After a 15% discount and free shipping, they'll come out to $97.58. I've always wanted a pair of denim breeches, but I've never found a pair I've liked. I like these. At least I like them in the photos. Does anyone have these? Are they comfortable? True to size? A waste of my money?I can't decide whether I want you to be honest and say they're amazing, or lie to me so I make better life choices.
Help me choose (or send me a cheaper option)! 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.
