Man, is it time to grow up?

So I've really, really been thinking here lately. My discipline is dressage and now apparently HUS. Both of these use rather traditional colors. Perhaps I should not go try to buy everything in purple, and just buy traditional colors like burgundy and navy? (I am NOT putting hunter green on a chestnut - never ever ever! I hate that combo)

For one, it's easier to find those colors. It seems that almost EVERYTHING comes in at least one or the other, or both. But I love my purple...

I just realize that with my own horse, I'm likely going to be the one hitching a ride to clincs and outside trainers and I wouldn't want to be the sore thumb. I'm almost 20, not 13 after all. Choices, choices. None of the riders my age really go for the bright colors I have noticed...I guess my feelings on it are starting to change. Although I love my new purple pad with the nice cording around it, it's definitely a winter pad, not a year-round pad. Too thick. It's moisture wicking, BUT it's not very breathable like thin cotton pads.

So I'm really, really thinking about that now...

  1. Go with your heart. I've been noticing more and more unusual colors in sheets lately, including stripes and patterns.

    Things are loosening up out there in the conservative show world. You might be a trendsetter!
