Birthday Wishlist

I'll probably never post this. I think it might be a little (lol, just a little?) self indulgent to post a birthday wish list on a public blog. But isn't it fun to wistfully daydream of pretty horse things you want to get? And maybe put together pictures and dream of matching tack for your giant pony?

I think it's only natural.

Ignore the fact that my present to myself this year has a) already been here for weeks and b) is glorious.

IT'S REALLY NICE HAVING A SADDLE THAT FITS.
I'm turning 30 this year, which is a milestone birthday because I guess it means that I'm an adult or something. It just so happens this year that my 30th falls ON Travers Day, and since Saratoga Springs is my favorite place in the world a bunch of my friends and I will be heading up there to make mischief and watch horse racing and polo. I'm pretty excited. I also got a REALLY big hat. So if you follow me on Instagram get ready for that mess comin' your way.
Anyway, the 'if money were no object but it's totally an object and my horse just had his first and second emergency vet visits with x-rays included' list.

Passier Auriga Breastplate


I like these better than the traditional five-point breastplates. Mostly because I hate sheepskin and it just looks like a lot of buckles. But this has less buckles (not really) and allegedly doesn't hinder the shoulder. It also (not allegedly) is gorgeous.

CWD Bridge Breastplate



"Megan you already had one breastplate, why do you need two? Don't they do the exact same thing?"

If you say one thing about me having multiple breastplates on this list I will shove you out a window. These two are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. So there.

Beval Calfskin Stirrup Leathers
I need new leathers for the princess saddle. Once Lund starts actively marketing their leathers publicly I'd probably get them. But in the grand scheme of life I'd love Beval ones. It is a wish list after all.

Total Saddle Fit Wither Freedom Pad
This is the one thing on the list I might actually get. I love the split top for wither freedom since I now have a cliche shark fin TB. The shims would be great as Indy slowly gains this magnificence called topline.

Topline Leather Browband



Indy needs his own sparkles. And not just any sparkles. Top (of the) line sparkles. See what I did there? Har har.

Purple Lorenzini Stirrups

I've wanted these for ages. Cause, y'know. Ergonomics and knee pain, which I will soon be having in spades I'm sure since I'm getting old(er). This isn't just because they're purple. I promise.

Mini Cooper Convertible
I'd take this as well.
It's cute and purple and a convertible. That way Indy can sit in the back seat and not bash his head on the ceiling.

If I'm being honest and all cliched though, I'm feeling pretty top of the world for my 30th. This year has been a little bit of a shitshow, but I have a beautiful lovely pony, wonderful friends, and the most amazing loving girlfriend. I have my family and my health. And I'm happy.


What more could I ask for?

  2. That saddle 😍
    I have the CWD bridge and it is awesome. If you stalk ETT and other FB groups sometimes you can find them used. But admittedly still pricey. HBD!

  4. I took from this post that I should drop all the purple things at your feet, lest you defenestrate me. Seems legit. Best of birthday wishes! I'm gonna go lock my windows now...

  5. Solid list. If I could get most of those things in teal, that would be a solid list for me too 😋 Also kudos to Austen for the use of defenestrate haha.

  7. Say hi to Toga for me! Have the best birthday yet! 30 was a pretty good year for me. I think. It was so long ago...
    Solid list. Beval should have those nice leathers on sale soon. They usually have a fall sale, I think in September.
