Fluffy Bunnies.

No, not the actual rabbits - although they are cute.  I am not a rodent person but I'd have a rabbit, outside.

Anyways, not actual rabbits. 

At this time of year, the Fat and Furry shows start happening and what a blast!!!  They are my favorite kind of show.  You bring your fuzzy ponies out of the pasture, ride em a bit at home, brush em out, clean your tack, find something fun and cute to wear and off ya go to have a blast!  For the Easter Weekend, I'm going to take one of the boys (yet to be determined which) and out I go!  I think if the sidesaddle's here by then, I'll take the old man out.  If not, the young feller could use some show miles under saddle.  Either way, a great time to be had! 

And now that we're towards the end of March, I did go to the tack sale and I'm sooo proud of myself!  I didn't go table shopping at all!  The only thing I allowed myself to buy was a set of stirrup leathers, irons and pads, which I got for $5 total!  The new location allowed for a lot more vendors this year, which also ment a lot more competition for sellers as I'm pretty sure there was the same amount of buyers this year.  I did manage to move a lot of stuff; however, I'll tell you nothing but one fly sheet went for the price I'd put on it.  It was really hard to SELL things.  Even used blankets for $10 I couldn't move!  And they were fully intact useful blankets!  Best thing I saw there was an amazing old sidesaddle built in Scottsdale (area).  The skirt and safe on this thing was one solid piece of leather, not sewn together, with amazing floral tooling all over it!  The seat was a green suede.  It looked just incredible although I don't think it would've sat me well. 

Well, I guess it's a good idea to enjoy the last of the calm before the impending storm of weekend shows that's about to come!  Weeee!!!!
