No bling involved but that reminds me: need to get her new stirrup pads since the old rubber has finally cracked!Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093558563358431804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-77375621442082970802011-07-31T12:02:36.306-04:002011-07-31T12:02:36.306-04:00I love my "blingy" browband.

If I blinged something it would be brow band or my horses braids. <br /><br />But then again my Dressage saddle pad has the pink cancer ribbon embroidered on both rear corners. That's enough bling in my opinion.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03906855143092978620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-37200873986033411882011-07-30T19:53:29.219-04:002011-07-30T19:53:29.219-04:00I think things are going to an extreme with dressa...I think things are going to an extreme with dressage, for good or ill. It's always been such a formal, staid and conservative sport, but now that it seems to be gaining popularity with riders bling is coming into its own. <br /><br />Don't mind it, if it's attractive, but if the goal is to make one horse and rider stand out from another based on bling rather than performance then?????Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-84725465905401827582011-07-30T18:50:43.616-04:002011-07-30T18:50:43.616-04:00I want to see a poll on how many people using thos...I want to see a poll on how many people using those irons have an unsteady leg.
