There was a bit of an unofficial blog hop going around about 'what's in your tack trunk' and I am obsessed with my trunk so I took my camera down to the barn to get some pictures to make a nice official blog about it. But it kind of devolved...

| Bet you can't tell which stuff is mine. |
Most people have their brand covers on their saddles. Or something in a nice, staid normal horse color. But apparently I want to be able to tell which are my saddles from the goddamn moon so that's that. In my defense, it exactly matches my boot and garment bag (.... wait).
 |
| Organized chaos |
It doesn't get any better on the inside. Yes those are purple hidey boots, and purple vet wrap, and a purple grooming tote. Purple squirt bottle, even.
I have a tiny rubbermaid container that actually doesn't have any purple in it, however it does have a more precious commodity hidden inside it: SCISSORS.
 |
| Coveted scissors. Probably have to start locking my trunk now. |
 |
| ... yeaaaaah. |
My grooming bag is massive and awesome and matches everything else. And you'll probably be shocked to learn i only have one purple brush. I've had that brush, no joke, for almost 20 years. That's dedication.

| Noticing a trend? |
Before I even bought Runkle I found a full set of patent leather jumping boots on Facebook for a song. Which I bought. They are not handling the pummeling they get very well (seriously, he doesn't have shoes, so what is he even doing) but I love them and they are beautiful and they actually do fit him really well and protect his legs. And my parents got me that Irish knit, I think I heard my mom sigh from 20 miles away when I told her it could come in purple.
 |
I take leg protection very seriously.
Not as seriously as coordination. |
So this entry started as a serious list of the things I have in my trunk. I'm well stocked and its organized and I have a pharmacy that would rival the vet's truck, but...
 |
Yes, that's a purple air vest.
And yes, I had to call the UK Point 2 office to order it special because it's only available in England.
AND NO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM. |
In my lesson last night I was told I had gone too far. You know what I have to say to that?
I DON'T THINK WE'VE GONE FAR ENOUGH.
I have to admire your extreme dedication to purple.
ReplyDeleteyeaaah writing this down made me feel a little cray. or at least more insane than usual. and i don't even have any pictures of my hair... which is also purple...
DeleteI think you might even have more purple stuff than I do. And that's saying a lot. Where's the pretty purple bridle in the collage from?
ReplyDeletePink Equine! someone in my barn has a blue piped one and its really pretty. and they also make girths, stirrup leathers, jump boots, bell boots....
Deleteone day <3
I'm impressed. You didn't go nearly as blingy or purple as you COULD have with your browband :D Love all the coordination!
ReplyDeleteHAH i know! I felt bad because he's a boy :'D buuuuut don't worry i'm sure my hand will slip and I'll order another chain.
DeleteYes! I love purple but haven't quite gone as far as you.
ReplyDeletego there. im blazing the trail!!
DeleteWhen I put on my purple dressage pad, purple half pad, and purple quarter sheet with my purple gloves and happen to be wearing a purple shirt that day (not a rare occurrence) I do get a little bit ashamed of myself. Maybe some variety next time, Self? Some pink maybe?
ReplyDeleteHAHA yeah what prompted the "youve gone to far" is because i have a BRIGHT purple fleece I wear almost every day and I get that it might be a little.... er, a lot. I try and only buy black/white/navy saddle pads to prevent a purple-out situation
DeleteI LOVE the purple air vest and stirrups!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS! the purple air vest was maybe my most exciting purchase. I wasn't nearly purple enough on xc :'D
DeleteSooo much organization! Oh. And purple. Lotsa that too ;)
ReplyDeleteits ironic bc my apartment is a mess. except the horse closet. the horse closet is perfectly organized.
DeleteI LOVE all the purple! <3
ReplyDeleteLove the purple!!!! It's also mine and my geldings "color" :)
