Yesterday was Ryan's twenty second birthday. We cleared out the dining room - no small feat since everything is still upstairs - and celebrated with take out kabobs from Ryan's favorite Greek restaurant.
Does anyone else's dog sit at the table? No, just ours?
My birthday was in January. I received an unexpected financial gift from my mom, and used it to order some ridiculous luxury European items for Olive. The first of those arrived yesterday.
This is a Brockamp Special Bareback Pad. Made from Italian suede and anti-slip neoprene, this pad uses a short dressage-style girth and is anatomically designed to stay centered on the horse's back.
I would have preferred an olive shade, but this pad is absolutely beautiful.Of course, I had to take a test ride. I am happy to report it is every bit as comfortable as advertised. I look forward to many years of sitting in it!

No one was around to take a photo so I tried - unsuccessfully - to improvise with a window reflection |
Happy birthday, Ryan, and happy birthday presents to Olive and me. That was a fun day.
Birthdays are wonderful. :) Yes, that shade looks very good on her: Sage, with a touch of turquoise. Western!
ReplyDeleteBrockamp calls it Forest Green, and even though this is very much a European pad, it would look super cute paired with a Western headstall.
