Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Poor Speedy. No bling (yet) for the gray pony. The browband, which turned out to be quite pretty, is just a smidge too big. I chose this one, even though it didn't come in cob, because several reviewers said it ran a bit small. Uh … no, it didn't. It looks great on Sydney though, so it's a keeper. I am on the hunt for a new browband for Speedy and have one in mind. It's pricier than this one though, so it might be a month or two before I go ahead and order it. In the mean time, here's Sydney's new browband!

I love it how Sydney gets all the things that don't fit Speedy! It looks great on both of them, though. Maybe you need two? ;)

That is so not bling! It looks gorgeous on Sydney, but you need a serious lesson in bling! "People on horses" browbands are the best. Love reading your blog! 1/27/2014 09:28:36 pm
Hey now!!!! Remember, this is ME, queen of all things subtle and plain. :0) Having a browband that didn't come with the bridle is breaking all kinds of rules for me.

It's okay to be frivolous once in awhile... Love your reply, lol! 1/28/2014 09:49:47 am
I may need more than riding instruction. I probably need help in the accessorizing department as well. Something tells me that between you, Morgan, and Jen, I could be decked out head to toe in some serious dazzle! ;0) Comments are closed.
