Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
A few weeks ago, I reviewed the Horze Trista shirt. I bought mine at Riding Warehouse, but when I went back to order another one, the color I wanted was out of stock. Imagine my surprise when I got an email directly from Horze telling me about their current summer sale. And guess which item was being featured in the email? I've never ordered from Horze directly, but I am in need of some retail therapy - boring story. If you buy the shirt directly from Horze, there are some new and interesting color choices. While I had my my eye on that Cobblestone Grey one, my size has already sold out. Snooze you lose, right? Instead, I ordered the lighter gray with the black collar.
The shirt was $29.99, four cents more than what Riding Warehouse carries it for. Of course, with Riding Warehouse I use a discount code so it would come out even cheaper, but it was close enough in price. Shipping was a wee bit more than with Riding Warehouse, but only by a couple of bucks The truth is, so many of the riding shirts I've bought lately are nice enough to actually wear to work, so the purchases have been serving double duty. Of course, after a few months of wear, they do start to look a bit less sharp, shall we say, but that's reason to just buy a new one. Have a great weekend!

My husband is very careful about the shirts he wears to work, he hates to get chalk marks. I said, "So, no white boards?" No, chalkboards are still the way here. 5/19/2017 09:36:00 am
Ugh! I HATED chalk boards and overhead projectors! The chalk creeped me out, and the overhead pens left color all over my hands. I now have a document camera and projector along with a white board. I am careful with my clothes too as school "junk" messes up my stuff too! Comments are closed.
