Default Horse Shopping Spree For Spruce Meadows Show!!

So I just went on a big shopping spree for spruce.
We went to 4 different tack shops in the course of one day.
I can't wait to show, it's been a long winter!

Here we go, I got

A white saddle pad (fancier than a colored one for spruce), New Show boots (fronts and backs), New Zocks.


A little shaver thing for getting rid of all the nosey hairs


I FINALLY found a hanging saddle rack for shows!! We lost a part to my old one and NO BODY was carrying them!!! Finally someone was!! Also got a Likit for my horse.


Not only did I get that but I have some stuff on hold at lammles. My friend is getting me 15% off everything!!
I am getting a pair of white breeches (they are required at spruce for the mini prix), and a pair of colored breeches for schooling. Also a 4 hook bridle hook.


Now I just need the show to start so I can use them!

If that's what you call big shopping, you need to come shopping with me for a day. Might teach you a few bad habits but it will give you a whole new meaning to -Big Shopping-

Thanks guys.
Well I don't have much money right now due to opening my own business so my shopping sprees need to be pretty small

I'm lucky I have a husband who likes to shop for tack as much as I do. Can't drag him into a shopping mall
Nice stuff Mystic, I like the Zocks. I have one of those nose hair shavers too.
