saddle? bridle? jacket? whip? helmet? breeches? spurs? boots? music (how would you show that lol)?

What's the one "gotta have it" thing you use with your horses?

Mine is my black Ariat ball cap. Gotta have it. I'll take a pic when I get home!:cowboy:

My favorite things are my ariat boots (LOVE THEM!!!!) and my wal-mart special Riders jeans (big enough to stuff carrots, keys, gum, and the kitchen sink in)

This was my favorite saddle, but dang to heavy for me to lug anymore.

My favorite boots, they are turquoise and are so comfortable and I love them:

This is the best feeling saddle I ever rode in, unfortunately it's not mine it belonged to the family who owns the farm I got my horse from. I was able to use it the whole time I rode him in Vermont and I never got sore or tired. It's a Martha Josey saddle. I have a Martha Josey which is prettier than this one but not as comfortable. I forgot to say I have lousy riding posture so don't look at that just the saddle! I know my legs are never in the right place, I never sit right, I'm the worst when it comes to posture, I've pretty much given up trying to get it right, my old body doesn't move like it should but the saddle felt good!

my fav. must have is my Double H boots, they support my ankles so well. my fav saddle is a tex tan flex tree saddle, i dont have one but used to use my old trainers and LOVED it. and i have to have my 7-8 foot split reins, you can do so much with them, but it looks funny when you are riding a really short horse and they are dragging on the ground, lol

the boots(these are close to them but mine are 2 years old lol)

My favourite saddle was my old textan barrel saddle. When that was stolen and burnt, I got a Circle Y show saddle (second fav saddle ever). It was comfy, but not as comfy as my barrel saddle. Nothing's even come close actually!
This is the exact same circle Y saddle that I had. I traded it for Rodeo but would like to find another someday. http://www.foxhunter.on.ca/Mar9SaddlePhotos/83341.gif

My "must haves" for riding are SMB boots for the horses (or leg wraps at the very least). I refuse to do anything with my horses without leg protection for them.

Well...

I never go ANYWHERE horsy without my Rambo Fleece-Lined Waterproof navy blue full chaps coer my favest and comfiest jods so they are no longer stained with mud or get drenched easily :D
http://www.mad4ponies.com/acatalog/202-0017.jpg

Or my Wedgewood blue Joules Bertie baseball cap keeps mud, sun, wind, rain, straw out of my eyes and looks cute. Unfortunately the pale blue gets mucky easily, but it's washable, so yay :)

My Navy blue Mountain Horse weave pigskin riding gloves good grip, and very durable. had them for years.

and my Navy blue Riding Club gilet. I gotta admit it isn't the warmest thing I own but it is SO USEFUL! I carry my phone, my camera, a hoofpick, and I think once I fitted a lead rope too.

Lol, can you see a colour pattern emerging?
I pure love blue :D

I love, love, love my GPA helmet. I grew up riding in the time when we wore hunt caps that weren't approved or actually protective in anyway.... Most didn't even have harnesses. When they started changing the rules so we had to wear approved helmets, I was miserable until I finally bought my GPA. I adore it.

I also can't ride with out my SSG Close Contact Pro gloves. It just bothers me, I've gotten so used to wearing gloves whenever I ride.

My BULL WHIP

The saddles I have are rather cheap...one was my sister's and is 30 years old. I am partial to Durango boots but recently discovered some cheap boots at Theisens that fit well.

I have an insulated flannel shirt that I have worn to shreds. Its got a hood and I love that thing, goes great over my insulated coveralls.

For myself, I can't live without my Ariat Terrains and good stretchy jeans; nothing special, they just have to be comfy!

For Dixie, I love having her Devon-Aire Spint Boots (I'm not a big fan of SMB's, never have been), Felt Girth so she doesn't get rubs, and her Skito pad to eliminate the pressure points from the saddle.

I love my saddle, it feels just like home!

I also can't ride without my reins or Weaver Headstall. My reins are so nice...I hate leather or skinny ones and these are just right. They're from Sunset Halters. And my headstall, I've had since I was very little. My dad bought it for me for one of my birthdays, I think I was 8, and I never got a chance to use it until now so it's definitely special to me.

My favorite boots are my Mountain Horse Rimfrost tall boots. I love those things for the winter; a foot of snow in the arena? No problem!

I also loved my Bugs Bunny saddle pad. I need to try to fix it since mice destroyed it, stupid mice.

Oh, and my custom Big D braided leadrope with a 30" chain! Best thing ever for my crazy horse, and I can use it for halter/showmanship practice.

I like my saddle, but i can live without it. But my split reins and headstall? No way! This headstall is the nicest leather i have ever had; never gets stiff, even in the coldest weather. It is always so nice and supple, it's amazing! And my split reins with clips at the end. I use those for EVERYTHING. Impromptu lead rope, whip, just the other night i clipped one to my dog's collar because i could see a skunk a ways off and i did NOT want Misty getting sprayed for the...5th time.

I have three separate headstalls for Bronson (makes it easier because i have different mouth pieces that i use on a regular basis), and these reins go from one to the other. I don't like to ride without them!
