Why is it I/we can only pick odd sized horses????? So, Bo*Berry is 14.2, right, and takes a 4" bit, so, I'm thinking, well, she's got such a fine head, she'll probably take a pony bridle, and an extra hole, to the length, right? WRONG! I need to add another 1" to all 3 straps, and it'd be perfect...this means unless I'm lucky enough to find a 'small horse' bridle -two, actually, a nylon, and a leather- -which will never happen, in this area- there will be a ridiculous amount of strap left hanging, b/c I'll have to add holes, to tighten it. Compounded with the fact that all "horse" sized tack is shaped wrong for BlackJack's head, but draft stuff is just too big, all my headstall/halters/bits are specialty orders...boy, we pick em good, don't we?
I do have a nylon halter/bridle a friend gave me that fits Bo*Berry, but, one of the clasps I can't find a replacement for is rusting out. it's the piece that hold the two straps that run under the jaw together -you know, the most mportant hard to find clasp?
Anyhow...nothing major, just a little 'venting' on my part.
I ordered the cake for BlackJack's party, today -they're going to try to airbrush a tracing of his 'mr. ed' face I caught on camera on it -looks like he's talking, lol.
If everyone that "might come" comes, it'll be a full house...well, about 20 people, anyway.
It rained, again! I've only lunged the horses once, all week! And, I'll be working ALL day, tomorrow, and Thursday I'll be cleaning, and Friday I'll be doing last minute shopping. Well, better busy than bored, I guess, right?
