Final Preparations

I'll also be spending a lot of time saying fervent prayers to ward off bad weather.
We've got snow in the forecast for Saturday, and slushy roads are not something I'm terribly enthused about hauling on. So, Saturday's participation is a little bit up-in-the-air and weather-dependent at this point.
You'd think by April we wouldn't have to worry about this sort of thing anymore, but nooooo. Screw you, Nature.
Dino will get an easy trot set day today, and as clean as I can get him without giving him a bath. I'll scrub and pack and load everything up, and hopefully tomorrow afternoon we'll be on our way to ride with Lainey!
WonderPony will also be sporting this very attractive, very large spur rub pad:
It looks ridiculous, but it does a GREAT job of protecting his hairless side, and will hopefully avoid people asking if he has some sort of disease. (I mean, he is diseased, but not like that!)
"Is he diseased? Why yes. He has ponytuditis. Be careful. It's very contagious." ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG please say this to someone. And record it for posterity. PLEASE roflmao
DeleteHAH. I need to practice saying this with a straight face.
DeleteThis is amazing!!
DeleteGo away Ice Queen, mother nature doesn't need you again til November! Have fun with the ponytude!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite the pad. Hope it works!
ReplyDeleteYou're like Phillip Dutton now with that pad! Hopefully it makes the pony jump around like a 4* pony. Good luck and have fun!
ReplyDeleteVery crafty/inventive!
ReplyDeleteThat pad is great! I love how the spur rub part detaches so it becomes "normal" when you want/need it to!
ReplyDeleteI think Equifit has a nice low profile pad thing one if you end up needing a long term solution! I've definitely seen a lot of people with similar setups though, so you won't look tooo crazy. ;)
ReplyDeleteOmg I kinda love that pad tho!!!! (Just be sure to wipe your boots down, or maybe even swipe a stiff body brush across the soles, to keep that white bright!) also I'm so bummed about this weather... Here's hoping you can salvage something good from it after all!
ReplyDeleteYay! Isn't the packing and organizing fun!!!! As a side note, I tried to comment on your new Dubarry boots all day on Friday but comments wouldn't load- love them!
ReplyDeleteI have that same girth! And your pad is awesome lol
