Ski socks of various brands: $13-17
Compositi wide track composite stirrups, not in this color! - $34.95
An illuminated hoof pick. Because if there is one thing lacking in my barn, it's good light over the wash rack: - $20.35
A white short sleeve show shirt, in order to avoid doing this again:
Saddle pads! I still have a hangup about buying them. In my mind, I shouldn't pay more than $20, but I also can't stand low-quality ones. This results in me just never buying them, and having a total of 3 schooling pads, including one that my grandma bought me in 6th grade.
What's on your reasonably priced Christmas wish list?

Awww man, I don't know if you saw but Dover had their AP saddle pads on sale for $10/ea yesterday, as part of their 12 Days of Christmas. Of course, that $10/ea price doesn't include their atrocious shipping costs, so you're probably better off haha. And that illuminated hoof pick is pure genius! Wish I had invented that :)
This year my Christmas list is not reasonably priced...
My mom always loves shopping for me at Christmas because I always need so much stuff for the pony!! I think Connor would look just smashing in that dark purple pad, you need it. And ski socks are also on my wish list!
Carhartt Heavy Weight Socks and Toe Warmers are my fav stocking stuffers!
Reasonably priced and Christmas wish list are five words that are impossibly in my language, heheh.
Oh! Compositi stirrups, come live with me!
I actually love the half sleeve show shirt look. ;-) Very elegant.
Socks! All of my boot socks have died.
Tiny mouthed bits for Bridget...all mine are 5" or larger and I've been shamefully lazy about ordering and trying more when the one I use is OK for her at best. Also I really want a plate or decal for my tack trunk!
That hoof pick is super cool! I always love getting riding socks... and girl can never have enough!
I'm always in need of more horse treats!!
Those stirrups are NEAT! Are they lightweight? Might have to add them to my list...
love that hoof pick!!! and yea - the compositi stirrups seem like a perfect gift to ask for (so many 'reasonably priced' horse stuff falls into the category of 'wow nobody will ever want to actually buy this for me...' lol)
Those stirrups are a wonderful substitute for the eleventy bllion dollar ones I want, thanks!
Just curious about wanting composite stirrups instead of classic fillis irons?
The hoofpick with the light is such a great idea!
Also a danger with horses...
I did, but I've never been impressed with those pads. I want thick saddle pads that lay just right! And are as cheap as the Dover ones. Is that too much to ask? ;) And their shipping IS horrible.
The purple pad may be arriving at my house tomorrow morning...it's a Toklat and was only $22! Plus dark purple is my favorite color.
Ohhh yeah, Carhartt knows what it's doing.
Totally understand!!!
For the low low price of $34.95, they can!
It did look pretty good. I just felt awkward. Oh, coats are waived? Let me just...continue to wear sleeves.
Mine tooooo. I bet they'll last longer since I won't be wearing them for stalls anymore. These boots/socks weren't made for walking.
I have to recommend the vinyl decal company I used for my tack trunk! They were great!
Totally. I will ALWAYS accept socks for Christmas!
That too! Connor tears through them...which is really my fault...
Yes they are lightweight! I am excited to try them.
Exactly, I think the stirrups are a good gift request. And they come in fun colors!
You're welcome! If you get them first, let me know how you like them.
A few reasons. I'm curious to try them. Less weight. I've heard the wide track is good for joint pain (I got kicked in the knee while riding in 2007). I've also heard it's good for foot stability. And in eventing, George Morris can't tell me no. Typically, I'm a traditionalist, and I'll definitely get these in traditional colors, but I'm interested in stepping outside my box on this one.
I know! All hoofpicks should have lights. Even well-lit crossties have the horse's body shadowing the hoof.
It's not that I'm greedy, see. It's just ... I'm pretty happy with what I have ponywise and lifewise. Except maybe for one of those marathon carriages or something. That would be the bee's knees.
Hence, not a reasonably priced wishlist ;)
Um, what do you mean you don't want those stirrups in hot pink? Is there something wrong with you??
Nooo you want the hot pink!
