I now have stashed away in my closet one ORANGE SHERBET ASS bridle, one pair of BRIGHT ASS MULTI-ORANGE NEON reins, and a goddamn bridle-less bit (with an ORANGE ASS slider)!

Do I have a horse I can use these on? Not exactly. Will I ever have enough lease control of a horse to get permission to use them? Maybe not.

this is the stupidest kind of retail therapy

#IM A TRAINWRECK #A TRAINWRECK WITH DREAMS OF PONIES #in my defense the total for all these things together comes to about 46 bucks #and ill eventually get to use them at least once sometime (but possibly a distant future sometime)#the bridle has buttloads of holes for buckle adjustment so it can (theoretically) fit most horses that arent drafts #the reins have snaphooks which i prefer to have on the trail. and regular trail time is the eternal goal #and the bridleless bit is whats known as a ‘war bridle’ but is technically actually a ghost cord #a loop of soft nylon rope used in place of a bit #and i got it because it was 8 bucks lmao and it would be fun to try like look ma no bridle #but also because a) the rope is very very soft which reduces chances of pokey bits or worst case scenario- rope burns #and b) because the horse im tryna lease is very soft in the mouth and she rides in a full cheek normal snaffle #and i dont like single joint snaffles like hera because of the sharp pressure and rosk of palette jabs #and it seems to me like it puts too much pressure on the bars of her mouth #id like to see if shes more responsive to another bit #shes not a head tosser so im not concerned #but obviously the loopy bit would not be a regular deal just something to see how she works under non-metal pressure #as a stepping stone to see if maybe she might do well in a leather bit or a rubber bit with a lozenge or link #but obviously not for when she rides with kids because they could hurt her mouth with this loopy thing #(never ridden in a bit tagt you cant lead horses with so that will be an interesting challenge getting her to the block without pulling)
