Think I could go bridle-less and start a new trend? ;):lol:
I think of my bridle as tack. What are nubbins?

Nope. I'm not buying a horse. I already got that peice of equipment. :winkgrin:

Bell boots are a no-no for my horse. He has something against them. :lol:

If you get dress boots wear them well in advance of showing to break them in! I will never make that mistake again :cool:

I also like boots in exchange for polos but thats just my laziness and its easier to pull off after schooling to go into the show ring. I use Dovers Velcro boots in black and white with fleece inside. I have had the same 3 pairs for a year 1/2 just throw in washer and hang dry. So easy!

You will probably not need to spend the money on an extra helmet unless you are showing in a hunt cap. I show the older guys in my hunt cap and the baby (he's 4) I wear my GPA that I school in.

Also from learning the hard way if you go to weekend shows. I bought two pairs of inexpensive breeches instead of one expensive pair so that I can have a pair for each day. They get so dirty so fast!

.....a box fan with bungee cords to attach to your stall and extension cords to reach the nearest available outlet.

A hose! For rinsing your kids off! The last show I went to didn't have any hoses (is that normal for english shows? I'm new to the english world, I used to ride western pleasure, i've been to a few english shows tho!). I was stuck without a hose! I felt like a fool asking people for a hose but there are SOME really nice people at the shows thank God!

[blackhorsegirl]

How about a generous husband to pay for it all. Besides being rich, he has to be a devoted and understanding horse husband. I'm so lucky to have one!

[merrygoround]

Nubbins are spurs, withn just a tiny little ball on the end, sort of like wearing spurs, but not. :lol:

[Roan]

You forgot Fairy Godmother on yer list :D

Those are some good Ideas.

My helmet is just a regular old school helmet. It's umm... not so gorgeous...

Lucky You! I'd love to find a store that carries those. :lol:
