At a show?" I've come to realize that nobody really cares, since then.

Mismat...I say you do what what's best for YOU. <br />Mismatched tack? If anyone is judging you based on the color of your tack - then they have some serious growing up to do. Now granted, when people have purple bridles and zebra polos and neon colors, I do get a little.... confused. I just think horses look so good in average, conservative colors - it lets me see the horse, not the tack.

Haha. The orange-slowly-becoming-red saddle is my sticking point. I didn't have a choice on color, it fit us both so well, but it's not something I want to keep forever so I'm not going to match anything to it - also partially because orange-slowly-becoming-red is hard to match.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-39861553748119614192014-04-30T13:32:46.391-04:002014-04-30T13:32:46.391-04:00Haha, thanks!
