HEY! I think I bought you those bit wipes when I was fit_to_ride!! :P

*whispers subliminally*.... come to Sporthorse with me... come to Sporthorse with me...

Overall I think glove sizes are the same across the board at least for riding gloves. 7 is the same size I wear, sometimes it's just under "Medium"

I like SSG gloves for basically everything. I've had various different pairs throughout the years. I have some nice champagne coloured 'grand prix' ones but I don't want to get them dirty, haha! I like those, the classics, the slipon ones, and the crochet back ones (I had three pairs of those at one time but they all absconded? Probably with my girths?).

COME TO SPORTHORSE! We can get your saddle and get gloves since I need new ones too anyway, and stop by Lynnda's and go get a yummy lunch. :D

*Sigh* Going to SportHorse means that I actually have to find some time off...but it looks like they're open til 8p on Thursday, but we have a riding lesson that night. I can try to get a Monday or Wednesday afternoon off, if you can go one of those afternoons, they're open until 5p. Otherwise, I have Sunday the 13th off, and Monday the 14th off.

I go to school all day MW and then work at the DEC... Sundays I work both BN and DEC...

No Saturdays?

None that I have off. I usually work in Northville or Commerce until 5pm. I work on the 12th 9a-1p, but we're going to the Piston's game the night before, then I have to wake up super early to have Andy to the airport by 7a. We can go, but I may be super-tired! haha

p.s. I've got to edit and re-host the pics mom sent me from last time and some from this time, and she's still got some of the ones from last night to upload too. I will email to you today or tomorrow!

For schooling I love the crocheted backed ones. I have been using them for years. I like the ones that just cover my hand (don't come far up my wrist). I have no idea about the brand name, sorry. Have fun and enjoy.

Yay for starting lessons again:)

As for the wipes, I used these...

Actually, the plain ol' Armor All leather wipes(like the one's for cars) work really, really well!

Hmm, not sure if I'd want to use those...My boots are synthetic, but my legs are already floppy (I need to build that muscle up again!), so I don't want to make my boots slippery. I need a little grip to 'em!

[zanerbug]

ah ha!! Well that makes sense :D You don't want to be slip sliding around!!
