What Would Yours Say?

2/15/2017

A hunter/jumper friend sent this to me a few weeks ago. I think it's pretty funny. I don't jump, but I do know what it means to SIT BACK OR DIE. The fetal position is just as "helpful" in dressage as it is over fences.

Photo by Equestrian at Hart?

I don't use ear bonnets, but if I did, I know what I would embroider on mine: LET GO OF THE INSIDE REIN.

What would your message be?

I'll try and go back and give photo credit. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to ask her where she got the embroidery done. 😊

She had it made by If the Bonnet Fits, and they do custom embroidery for the ears.

Aw ... love it!!! If I was still doing endurance, and if it was cool enough, I'd have had one that said KEEP GOING! :0)

My horse's ears are too tiny for normal messages. If he only had normal ears, I'd have a host of messages for him to carry to me.

Anyway, I finally posted that photo that I took for you on my blog today. Just cuz you're a teacher and you like racing and it's totally not funny in German....

Speedy's are a bit short too! I loved the picture! I tried to comment form work, but our filter blocked me. I think only an American horse owner would find it funny. I did1

Thanks for sharing my bonnet! It was made by if The Bonnet Fits. And the saying is very appropriate for me! I want one with pinch pinch on it bc I need a constant reminder to put my shoulders back.

I love it, Hillary, and I hope you don't mind that I shared your photo. I always give photo credit, but in this case, the photo came from a friend who probably found it on one of her h/j Pinterest boards. It's great though and every time I look at my horse's ears, I think, LET GO OF THE INSIDE REIN!

Stop twiddling.

Or,
Legs on, then off.

Or maybe just,
You've Got This.

We just need a bonnet for each day of the week, like underwear. LOL
