A sale at the horsey store and I have.....

[Palogal]

I'll give you a clue...

eventers use them, hunter/jumpers do and dressage riders occasionally. western riders don't have much use for them but they're fun just the same....

[Flair]

A helmet!

[Palogal]

Nope! But that fits the discription too,;) doesn't it?

[Flair]

Ha, yes, it does,

Got a new riding crop, didya?

[Palogal]

Nope, think BIGGER

[vicklynn]

Hey, western riders wear helmets. So that couldnt be it

[Palogal]

Some do! You're right.

[Palogal]

Recall: I'm a total training nerd, I love training equiptment and I'm way excited about this.

Another hint: I can't wear it.

[vicklynn]

surcingle?

[Palogal]

Bigger!

[HeartofSteel]

Hmmm I was going to say surcingle too...

[Palogal]

Ya'll know me pretty well actually, if I didn't already have three of them I would be quite excited about that.:)

[Palogal]

Ok ok ok!

I got a JUMP to set up at home! I'll take a pic tonight. Hubby stopped by the big Teskeys store by where he works on his way home last night. we're getting the poles for it tonight!

[vicklynn]

That was my next guess.

[luv2show]

SWEET!!
Can't wait for the pic! :D

[Palogal]

The stackers look like this but they're green! I'm way excited that I don't have to stuff them in the trailer to really train over obstacles anymore!

[Palogal]

Reading my last post...::hangs head:: I am a trainer nerd. I admit it, I am a trainer nerd.

[vicklynn]

Ok, we western riders may not use them for the same reason you do, but training a horse to jump obstacals is something we like to do. Trail riding would be a good example, you come across a tree, your horse better know how to get over it safely.
I use to work all my horses over jumps of some sort.

I cant wait to see your jumps up and in action.:) Got video????

[Palogal]

I'm going to see if I can get my babysitter (conveniently one of my students) to take some video tomorrow. The hubby is of the "non-horse" and he won't think it's cool. Although kudos to him for thinking outside the box and getting them in the first place all by himself.

[vicklynn]

all by himself.
Wow, that is a big step...very cool

[Palogal]

He likes to shop. So he goes in to the place and asks someone what stuff trainers like. Then he asks the BO I work for, my various horsey friends, or my aforementioned babysitter if I would like this or that and they in turn find a way to ask me in a way that I don't know they're asking. They're quite crafty. He's supportive which is all I can ask for, he just doesn't want anything to do with the horses. He will ride once a year or so and I'm okay with that.

[jeezitsjacki]
