Thanks to Cob Jockey for a great idea for a meme!
Some of these things are a bit of a reach, and as such, I haven’t actually put them on my Christmas list. (My parents don’t believe in Christmas lists; they take them as a challenge and a list of things not to buy. My boyfriend’s parents are very good about lists, but because of that I tend to be careful about what I put on there. Ahhhh, relationship Jenga.) But if I could put together my ideal Christmas list? These would all be on it.
I love this stuff. I will take as much of it as I can get. I enumerated the reasons why it is my favorite in my product review of a few weeks ago.
COVET. I love the look of them, I love the idea of them, I want them. I want them with a fierce lust that I usually reserve for new books and heavy duty pick up trucks. (Yes, I’m kind of boring.)
3. Saddle Stand
Believe it or not, I don’t own one. Usually I put my saddle on the side of my truck bed to tack up, but that’s getting kind of old. This would be great to have for tack cleaning, too.
I seriously need to step up my winter glove game. It’s really starting to get cold now, and the fleece gloves I use right now are not cutting it.
5. Smart Shape Base Layer Tights
I feel pretty good about my base layers up top, but right now I just have the winter breeches on bottom – and they are glorious, but I’d like the option of stepping up the ante when I need to.
So, what do you want for Christmas?
I bought the 10 below gloves Friday night. They are my new glove best friend. I bought them a size too big on purpose, so if I want to add a silk (or ceramic) glove liner, I can, so they are a bit sloppy at the finger ends. But they are SO COMFY and warm. Though in fairness it was 0 F on the weekend and I did chores but did not ride.

Love those Dublin boots!

Really good to hear! Hopefully I'll get them or something like them for Christmas. The numb/painful/itchy finger cycle of the barn is getting old already and we're not even really into winter yet.

Aren't they just…sigh. They're very much an eventing thing, I feel like – it seems lie every other person on a course walk is wearing them (or the original Dubarrys). They're pricey for my budget but I can't help it. I want them.
