Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Izzy's last ride will be in tomorrow's post because I HAD to share this deal from Riding Warehouse with you. I really dig the Riding Warehouse, and I know that most of you do, too. They sent me one of their regular Look at All the Cool Stuff on Sale emails and I almost deleted it, until I saw this little tidbit. Speedy sports a pair of DSB Dressage Boots in the front, but I want a pair for the hinds as well. They're usually priced at $37.95 for the originals, the patent glossies run 2 bucks more, but Riding Warehouse has them 10% off right now. I also want two pair for Izzy who is currently lugging around a very old, hand-me-down pair of boots from Dover. Click images for captions and to enlarge. I love these boots because of the variety of color combinations. You can get most of them with white fleece or black, and then there is the option of patent glossy or the plain matte finish. I have the matte black with white fleece, and I can't believe how nicely they wash up. I've washed them many times, and they are holding up super well to the frequent washings.
The sweet part of this deal is that if you buy two or more pairs, the regular price drops to $32.95. With the 10% discount though, they'd be $29 and some change. I'm not sure that Riding Warehouse will further discount the discounted price, but I am going to try. No one else can even touch that price for DSB boots! While the ad says that the discounted price will be automatically applied, Riding Warehouse is having some technical difficulties, so simply enter the code OCTSALE at checkout to get your discount. I'm doing some measuring this afternoon because this is a deal I just can't resist! Anyone going to join me? 10/2/2015 05:59:20 pm
I am definitely ordering three pairs, but I am waffling between navy or white for Izzy. My other pair don't slip, but I they fit Speedy pretty snugly. I've washed mine a BUNCH of times, so maybe that's it.

What Emma said. IT'S NOT WORKING. 10/2/2015 06:01:17 pm
Bwahahaha! I was hoping Emma's chant would work for me too, but I am getting them. I need them, I want them, and somehow, I DESERVE them! :0)

I truly did NOT need another pair of horse boots -- they are my kryptonite -- powerless against cool ones especially on a good deal! Comments are closed.
