HOT or NOT ???

[thegrayhorse]

Haha, here's just a little game if anyone wants to play (:

I'll start by saying an item of fashion that's in the horse world & you reply by saying if you think it's hot or not. then you say an item & so on. hope that makes sense! I'm not very good at explaining.

OK...

Decorated strip on a helmet (like the IRH or GPA)

[jilllovesgus]

Not. (; I prefer just the normal stripe.

Hmm...

Green hunt coat O:

[thegrayhorse]

Not.

They can look OK but I prefer blue or gray. I'm traditional ;)

Sparkly bell boots?

[jilllovesgus]

(Yaaay! I agree, my favorite is blue.)

Hot!
Gus would love them... I've been meaning to buy them for him for aaaages.

Mm...

Black breeches?

[StarGirl]

Not.

Just my opinion, and I'm a western rider, but I have to admit I admire how the tan breaches look, I don't think black look too great...

Bling on the bridle...

[thegrayhorse]

Hot

I like bling on the browband. Especially for dressage - it looks neat.

Colorful half chaps? (like pink, blue, purple, etc)

[jilllovesgus]

Agreed. But too much bling is never good.

Hmm, not. I like good old black or brown.

Superduperlongshownames?
(Super duper long show names, haha)

[StarGirl]

Notifthenameislongerthantheclass.

lol. But my horse's name is Skip A Stormy Star...that's not too long... ok, um...

Combined English and Western Classes (like walk/trot)

[thegrayhorse]

Hmmm.

That's hard. I'm going to say Not because I prefer short & sweet (& simple, haha) but some of the names can be cute. As long as they're not too hard to pronounce, then they're fine. (:

zocks? (those tall boots socks)

[thegrayhorse]

Whoops!

I'll answer the combined walk/trot question.

I've never heard of that!

Um. Not because the two disciplines should be judged separately? I don't know! If I watched one maybe I'd feel differently! (:

OK. Zocks?

[jilllovesgus]

1.) Mmm, I've never heard of classes like that, but I'd say not.
2.) Zocks? Hot. (:

Hrmmm...

Big people on little ponies?
(This is easy.)

[thegrayhorse]

Not! I feel bad for the ponies! Especially if the person's chubby. If they're just really tall than it's not quite as bad.

Jumps with lots of flowers!

[StarGirl]

1.) Mmm, I've never heard of classes like that, but I'd say not.


They have them at our local shows and I hate them! What is the judge looking for with English and Western riders? ugh..anyways...

Jumps with lots of flowers = hot! Course, I'm not a jumper...but they're pretty...

Um...pink spurs!

[thegrayhorse]

Hot... for just schooling, though! Not at shows.

Colored show shirts!

[jilllovesgus]

Hot.
Although white is always bessst.

Hmm...
Albino (cremello) horses.

[thegrayhorse]

Yep you definitely can't go wrong with white ;)

Hot! They're so pretty! Especially their eyes!

Which leads me to...

Horses with blue eyes?

[jilllovesgus]

Hot IF both eyes are blue. (:

Hmmm... white stockings above the knees/hocks on all fours?

[thegrayhorse]

Hot! Gotta love that chrome (:

Zip-up tall boots?

[jilllovesgus]

VERY HOT. Hate pull-ons. (:

Hrrrmm... numbers pinned to saddle pad (as opposed to tied on rider's back).

[thegrayhorse]

Not.

It makes it harder for the judge, I'd think, since he asks for everyone to stand with their numbers facing him. But I guess it depends on the discipline.

Saddle pads with the horse's name on it?

[jilllovesgus]

At home: HOT.
At shows: NOT.

Umm...
dappled bays? (:

[thegrayhorse]

Hot! I love dapples!

Manes that are like mohawks?

[jilllovesgus]

Not. O: Or when they roach manes for jumpers / polo ponies... ew ew ewwie. I like a full head of hair on my horse, thankyouverymuch.

Liverpool jumps? ( Scary! O: )

[thegrayhorse]

Roach! That's the proper term for it, thank you! (: Ohhh! I volunteered at this therapeutic (sp?) riding center that was near polo farms so I saw all of the polo ponies... they cut their forelocks, shave their mane so there's like nothing & shave their tail, as well... poor horsies ): I love my horse's hair!

But anyway...

I'm going to say NOT for the liverpools! Scary stuff! My horse can barely handle the brush let alone that!

Monogrammed bags for your saddle, bridle, tall boots, show jacket, etc...

[jilllovesgus]

HOTHOTHOTHOT. I love monograms. So much. <3

Erm.

Crazy horses. (:

[thegrayhorse]

As long as they're not dangerous (: A little craziness keeps things interesting, haha (:

Hmm.

Cordless clippers?

[StarGirl]

Hot my horse steps on the chord!

Um...

Blue jeans under black western chaps...

[alliekk]

UG!!! NOT NOT NOT!!!

ooo, I got a good one!!!

CURLED HAIR OR NEAT BUN???

[alliekk]

[QUOTE=Hrrrmm... numbers pinned to saddle pad (as opposed to tied on rider's back).[/QUOTE]

I personally like numbers because they make the rider look more updated and crisp. Its also handy when you are showing a bunch of different horses. so HOT to the number on the saddle pad

[Max]

Curled

Black hat?

[Barrelbabe_23]

Umm for the combined Western and English(Walk and Trot) I really dont care lol...its a Walk and Trot class....HOT AND NOT...lol!


How about someone riding Western wearing breeches...lol!

I have seen allllllooootttt of people wear that! :D

[Manda]

NOT! Make up your mind, don't combine two disciplines.

Those neck sleezys for horses, kinda like mane tamers, but more spandexy.

[Barrelbabe_23]

For the combined classes I have afficly made up my mind and I say NOT!!




Umm I dont know??

[HorseDayz11]

Hmmm. I'll make a new one for barrel. :]

blue eyes on paint horses or horses all together.

[Barrelbabe_23]

HOT!!That would sooo pretty...lol<3

[dianaaa]

OK. Pink and other bright coloured whips in the show ring.

[jilllovesgus]

Definitely not. Stick with black, it's classier.

Hrrrrm.

Paddock boots (short boots) with breeches D:

[alliekk]

Ick! NOT! it makes your legs look FAT to wear short boots with breeches!

ummm,

brown English saddle on grey horse

[jilllovesgus]

Ick! NOT! it makes your legs look FAT to wear short boots with breeches!

Agreed. I hate it. (:

[jilllovesgus]

Half-Hot; I don't see why not. Although I think black looks very flashy on grey horses. (:

Pink gloves O:

[alliekk]

for home and costume classes they're too cute. if they match the shirt, like in western then I'm all for it. if it doesn't match then SO NOT HOT...

long thick manes or pulled and neatly cut manes???

I have a hard time answering this one...

[HorsayLuv]

long and thick

Sequened saddle blanket

[jilllovesgus]

for home and costume classes they're too cute. if they match the shirt, like in western then I'm all for it. if it doesn't match then SO NOT HOT...

long thick manes or pulled and neatly cut manes???

I have a hard time answering this one...

Long thick manes: HOT for some breeds, ex Shires/Arabs
Neatly pulled manes: HOT for most breeds, especially thoroughbreds (:


HOT at home

Sequened saddle blanket

HOT. (:

And now...

Hair coming out of helmet? (As opposed to hair up inside helmet.)

[alliekk]

hair coming out as in fly-aways or in a pony-tail? we agreed that we liked curled hair as opposed to in a neat bun...if thats what you're talking about...

hmmm,

gaudy belts in show or old fashioned black with buckle?

[mandyicequeen14]

for english... hot
for western... not i prefer white

ummm a young and crazy horse or a old and caulm horse

[jilllovesgus]

hair coming out as in fly-aways or in a pony-tail? we agreed that we liked curled hair as opposed to in a neat bun...if thats what you're talking about...

Hair coming out in a pony tail, I mean. Like, as opposed to when hair is put up inside the helmet... that's how I usually ride. It's a lot cooler on my neck and I think it looks more proff. (:

[alliekk]

young and crazy, they're fun for jumping and gaming. old ones are just nags... at least mine is. he's soo bitter it's not even funny!!!

black point dun or red dun???

(my favorite is a red dun with a deep auburn mane and tail with a HUGE dorsal stripe)

[dianaaa]

Black point dun.

Coloured saddle pads for jumpers?

[jilllovesgus]

Not, in shows. Stick with white, I say. (:

Long whiskers?

[DixieGirl]

Hot!

I think because they are a cool rider accessory (sp).


Fly Masks

[Haley]

I'll have to say hot, even if they're pretty ugly. But they make the horse more comfortable.

Hmm...packaged horse treats?

[ForeverEquine]

I say NOT to the packaged treats. None of my horses ever liked them. Fresh treats all the way.


Banded manes...?

[alliekk]

banded manes for western pleasure quarter horses... all others should have long and thick manes... for english I like the little braid bun things... I don't know what they're called.

breast collars in western pleasure

[ForeverEquine]

I say HOT...especially with a matching bridle.


Brightly colored polo wraps?

[DixieGirl]

Hot.


Umm...... Breast Collars in english pleasure.

[StarGirl]

banded manes for western pleasure quarter horses... all others should have long and thick manes... for english I like the little braid bun things... I don't know what they're called.



Just wanted to comment on this: I don't get the whole banded, short short short manes....long manes look so much more natural...I own a Qh WP mare, and I've been growing her mane out since I got her in January...looks much more natural, more beautiful, and with her hair type, it won't bounce like a short mane will. :)

[ForeverEquine]

Not.

I think english looks best without.


Horse body painting...? I've seen them do it in parades.

[alliekk]

I say hot for english... I dont really like western breast collars, it makes the horse look too front heavy...

halter horses with huge muscles, small feet and dainty faces or halter horses that are perfectly proportioned with a plain face?

[mhoney05]

huge muscles small feet dainty faces- makes them look different and interesting.




how about......... horse pajamas!

[amyiish]

horse pajamas = hot. Haha, even though i don't have any xD unless they're like, little kiddy ones.. then, Not ;x


lazy ponies? xD

[Haley]

How about...NOT!

Matching horses and riders?

[DixieGirl]

Just wanted to comment on this: I don't get the whole banded, short short short manes....long manes look so much more natural...I own a Qh WP mare, and I've been growing her mane out since I got her in January...looks much more natural, more beautiful, and with her hair type, it won't bounce like a short mane will. :)

Hot...I like the banded manes for western pleasure and Halter which is what I do.

[amyiish]

matching horse and riders = hot and not. If its pretty matching, hot. if its something tacky or whatever, not xD


a certain color for a certain horse? ;x

[ashleygoesrawr]

hot if its a nice color. if it's like neon pink or something tacky, not so much. i like everything in barn colors =D

so i don't know if this has been said but ..

braided tails for hunters? [mine never gets done but i like the look of it, haha. but horses with big tails like my horse look funny cuz then the bottom is puffy. haha].

[jilllovesgus]

HOT. I love braided tails for hunters.

Errm... braided manes for jumpers?

[amyiish]

hot x]

barrel saddles for western pleasure horses? xD I saw this at a show once

[ashleygoesrawr]

aha NOT my mom had to ride in a roping saddle for western pleasure and she hated it. but she's picky. but yea. no. stick with traditional western saddle.

uhh ... [again if i repeat one i apologize!]

rust-colored breeches?

pretty old-school. i like them on some horses with certain jackets but they probably wouldn't go with my jacket/horse. lol.

[jilllovesgus]

Hrrrm... most of the time not. Unless someone REALLY wears them right... other than that they usually look kind of odd, IMO.

Big giant fuzzies on bridle nosebands...

example:
http://tn3-2.deviantart.com/fs14/300W/f/2007/116/8/6/Chestnut_Jumper_by_darkrider712.jpg

[ashleygoesrawr]

erm aesthetically, not. but shadow rolls are useful for some horsies so i guess whatever works, lol.

hm ... cutesy/cliche show names [like cookies n cream, or desert breeze, remington steel, etc.]?

they drive me insane. find something quirky or at the very least random, lol.

[tumislove]

NOT.

I prefer short-ish, meaningful show names. :]

[HorseDayz11]

Hot. I like long show names, but the horse of a nickname. I rather a unique one word name like Vezzoso or something.

Horse names in another language. I love this! Like above Vezzoso means charming. It is quite unique and different. :]

[StarGirl]

Not because I never know what they mean!

Um...

Helmet covers in different colors that match show clothes...

[HorseDayz11]

Ehhh. Not. Solid neutral colors are a better look.

Owners addicted to horses. Too the point that's all they talk about. I don't like so much, can get annoying. We get it you love them so STOP!

[StarGirl]

Ehhh. Not. Solid neutral colors are a better look.

Owners addicted to horses. Too the point that's all they talk about. I don't like so much, can get annoying. We get it you love them so STOP!


Um, I'm kind of guilty of talking about horses a lot, but there are other things to talk about....saddles, tack, blankets, shows.....hehehe just kidding. Not.

Um...

Cheap fly spray you have to apply everyday or expensive fly spray you only have to apply once every few days?

[Ruby Rider]

exspencive fly spay ( if you don't hve alot of time each day)oh and this is HOt or NOt

Halters with name on nose band and ranch on the cheek side?

[StarGirl]

I know but a couple of ppl have done it that way...sorry. Okay... HOT if you're taking them somewhere, otherwise just for having around the barn...not.

Yikes...uh...

Trail Class?

[mhoney05]

hot-you will never mix your halter up...... and its kind of cool



riding backwards :)

[Ruby Rider]

not... for me atleast but i think some ppl would say diffrent and i kinda depends on what you are doing .. like i rode on a trail backward on my green horse ... just to get a gadoraid bottle!!!!


ummm

Oster brushes ( uknow the ones that come in that cool lil kit that you can take places to use them)...

[mandyicequeen14]

hot- they come in handy

trail riding for a week in the mountains

[ashleygoesrawr]

not if it is hot outside .. haha. i donno, trail riding is fun but i'm more of a show person.

super long manes - like on arabs? [has this been said?] these drive me crazy.

[equestrianellen]

NOT. super long names drive me crazy!

stock pins? (for english of course...)

[ashleygoesrawr]

not. monograms are neater, i think.

these helmets [below]?

http://www.charlesowen.co.uk/en/products/images/gr8.jpg

i'm not such a fan.

[Rous]

ermmm im not sure if i like it or not.. leaning more towards the NOT i think :P...


That hoof black stuff you see on a lot of halter horses

[ForeverEquine]

NOT to the black polish. Hoof Oil makes them looks just as nice but without the dye.


Curb Bits?

[StarGirl]

NOT to the black polish. Hoof Oil makes them looks just as nice but without the dye.


Curb Bits?

Not but unfortunately part of the rules in WP....

Trail Class

[Rous]

eee... in the hands of a beginner NOT if you person knows what they're doing, and the horse doesn't have a sensitive mouth, sure :P

[ForeverEquine]

Really? I've never had the chance to show in any real discipline so I wasn't sure if it was a rule or not.

As for the trail class, HOT. I think it's good for horses to learn all that versatility.

Hmmm, Patriotic tack?

[Haley]

NOT. I like simple and classy leather.

Glitter for the mane and tail?

[Rous]

HOT as long as it's not too much

[jilllovesgus]

Glitter? HOT as a joke, or just to be cute. Seriously? Not.

Hrrrrrrmmmmmm...

Oh!

Smiling in a show?
(Personally I think it's tacky when people trot around with those fake plastic smiles, but I love when people actually smile and laugh at their own in the showring if they do something cute or silly.)

[ashleygoesrawr]

glitter, not. but i mean the only horses who wear it are like parade horses so i guess it looks cute on them =)

barns having matching tack boxes down their aisles at a show? [i love this even though my barn doesn't do it lol we never take enough horses to the A shows]

[jilllovesgus]

Hot. (: I think that's really cute.

Smiling in a show?
(Personally I think it's tacky when people trot around with those fake plastic smiles, but I love when people actually smile and laugh at their own in the showring if they do something cute or silly.)
Edit/Delete Message

[mhoney05]

hot





mean miniture horses that r funny

[StarGirl]

Hot, they crack me up...as long as nobody gets hurt...

Tiny tiny tiny little kids showing huge horses in hand (that they usually can't control if the horse decides not to stand still...)

[jilllovesgus]

Not. May be funny, but not hot in the showring. (:

Umm... I'm at a loss, somebody else go.

[ashleygoesrawr]

not. i just don't like miniature horses at all. or they make me laugh and i feel rude for laughing at the people. i mean yeah they're funny and cute but they're basically useless, honestly. and they always get sick more than big horses [or so a vet i know has told me].

ummm i can't think of anything ....

thoroughbredy-type hunters? [i mean the uber uber skinny and slender ones. i don't know ... i like the warmblood look but not the huge chunkers, just a nice medium type. but of course i'm partial =D]

[jilllovesgus]

Not. I prefer the warmblood look too.

Then again, there are those chunkier thoroughbreds (Gussity!) which I do quite like as hunters, but I hate those underweight, skinny necked things that jump awkwardly and ewww... yepp.

Rodeos?
(I'm personally not a fan.)

[ashleygoesrawr]

gus looks like a good TB hunter =D just the right amount of chunk for a TB haha =D he's adorable.

rodeos ... hot. some of those bullriders .. damn lol. but bullriding is about the only thing i watch. but yeah. i can't deny i was born into a western-riding, old country music-loving, rodeo-watching family lol. still comes out at time rofl.

those printed [zebra, rainbow, etc] gloves for riding at home? [i think they're sort of tacky. i don't use gloves at home.]

[jilllovesgus]

(GUSS! Haha yaaay... thinking of putting him in some Baby Greens classes at the next show at our barn... very exciting!)

Herrrmmmm not. Eww tacky is baad, haha. Unless it's like, as a joke. Like I have rainbow tallboot socks (haha I know, you said gloves but... yeah) but I wear them kind of as a joke like, "Look how stupid I look!" Yeeppps.

Hrrrrm, chunky polo wraps o:

[mhoney05]

actually i think miniture horses do get sick more.....my miniture stallion ate a trader joe bag and coliced. the funny part is we have never shopped at trader joes.....hmmm must have been one of the boarders




okay....... horses that are big fat and healthy

[jilllovesgus]

Hot. (:

But you never answered mine. ):<

[mhoney05]

hott those r the raps on the legs rite???




hmmmmm horses that r traind to paw the ground..... not my thing but it was an accident!!! :rolleyes:

[ashleygoesrawr]

i don't really know what you mean ... but i guess hot.

errm lets see ...

western bridles that have the ear loops or just a normal browband?

[Ruby Rider]

Browband.. i think atleast but they are both hot!!!!

Crupper... or britchen?

[DixieGirl]

Not. Because they could get hurt or run off.



Ummmmm..... ok, FLY MASKS.

[Ruby Rider]

Bording fees

[StarGirl]

NOT, but ppl got to make a living...

Ok, I did this one earlier, but nobody answered it...

Tiny tiny tiny kids handling big horses in hand at shows (that they usually can't control if the horse decides to walk off or move around)

[Ruby Rider]

NOT NOT NOT... i don't think it is very safe

ok ... ummm 4horse goosenecktraler+livingquarter+tackroom

[StarGirl]

Hot hot hot!!!!

Matching shirts for ppl from the same barn to wear to shows with the barn name and logo (even if they aren't showing, but with a group)

[Ruby Rider]

hot ish.. but it kinda depends on if the t-shirts are cute or not... lol

hmmm.... gag bits

[AidEE]

kinda depends what you're showing in. If they work for you great!

um....colored tailored sportsman breeches?

[Ruby Rider]

umm.. not .. for me atleast

how bout... ummm... old horses( in 20s) being worked too hard

[HorseDayz11]

NOT!! Old horses gave their best in their previous years. Work them a little for the shape, but give them a nice retirement.

hmmm. Foals without mothers. as in their mother died giving birth, but the foal survived. they are getting bottlefed now. It is so sad. :[

[equestrianellen]

Smiling in a show?
(Personally I think it's tacky when people trot around with those fake plastic smiles, but I love when people actually smile and laugh at their own in the showring if they do something cute or silly.)

FINALLY someone agrees with me!!

[Ruby Rider]

not.. cus it is sad but .. it dose get them used to humans but it is sad....

hmmmmmmm... ok how bout home-made horse treats

[HorseDayz11]

Hot. It really proves you love and care for your horse if you take the time to make them something.

Owners eating horse treats. Haha. I have seen people do it. Gross.

[Ruby Rider]

depends on what youare into.. cus man my horse treats taste pretty dang good says my bro.. seeing only a bag that says cookies... and not the folded down part that says hore... =horse cookies!!!! lol

how bout cinimon toast crunch ( for horses ... i mean i didn't mean too!!! my horse just ate them from my hand!!! honestly!!! i wasnt paying attention.. dumb me... ruby liked it tho lol)

[Max]

not I've tried dog treats and they're gross I'm not trying a horse cookie

How about black wool western hats (the floppy ones not the hard hats)

[Haley]

Not. I don't know very much about Western, but that sounds kind of ridiculous to me. I prefer the traditional firm hats.

Hmmm...horse toys in stalls? I know a lot of horses who have them but have no clue what to do with them.

[HorseDayz11]

Hot out of show. Not in show arena.

ummm. hours of grooming for one show.

[Ruby Rider]

not

riding arenas just for fun?

[Max]

Hot

Training horses or riding horses?

[Ruby Rider]

i think hot for BOTH!!!! exsept in my oppinion i prefer... riding while training the horse your riding

Trail riding

[HorseDayz11]

Hot. It really helps the horse's strength and they are fun!

Shoes on a horse. ehh. I think not so great..

[Ruby Rider]

depends but for me i would have to say hot!!!

leg wraps on trails

[Haley]

Hot - if they protect the horse, why not?

Designer rider apparel (such as Hermes)?

[equestrianellen]

HOT! i just wish i could afford it!

synthetic tack?

[jilllovesgus]

Ok, I did this one earlier, but nobody answered it...

Tiny tiny tiny kids handling big horses in hand at shows (that they usually can't control if the horse decides to walk off or move around)

I answered it! D:

[jilllovesgus]

HOT! i just wish i could afford it!

synthetic tack?

Hrrrm, not, usually for me. Idk, I just don't really like the look or feel of it. I guess it's a cheaper alternative for normal tack maybe...?

Clipping patterns like this?
http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/2061119/1/istockphoto_2061119_decorated_horse_croup.jpg

[ashleygoesrawr]

not. i think they're cute but no one really does that anymore.

animal-print horse stuff [saddle pads, polos, etc.]?

[tumislove]

Not.

Well, depends. My friend has some zebra polos and I always want to steal them. (:
But probably not.

Uhmm... how about... riding with ipods? :]

[HorsayLuv]

Hot

brest collars in western pleasure?

[ashleygoesrawr]

hot if they have silver and are flashy. i donno, it depends.

english horses with breastcollars but no martingale attached?

[tumislove]

Hot.

Well, when ever I do a hunter pace or something with my horse I always have a breast collar without a martingale, but for shows no.

Bright electric colorful polos. xD

[dianaaa]

colourful polos? NOT for shows, but at home i love them.

polos on jumpers at a show

[StarGirl]

Hot but thats me.

Um...

Horses named after their coat colors (Goldie for palominos, blackie for blacks, brownie for chestnuts, red, for red roans, blue for blue roans...lol.)

[thegrayhorse]

Not.
Blue isn't too bad, but Brownie is kind of unoriginal.

Rainbow reins? (;

[HorseDayz11]

Ugh. Not! That is so stupid and retarded. I have always hated that.

Painting horse's hooves. You know, where they glitter. Ugh. So weird. Cute, but weird.

[HorseDayz11]

Not.
Blue isn't too bad, but Brownie is kind of unoriginal.

Rainbow reins? (;

mmm. I answered for the names above. Rainbow reins. Not.

[ashleygoesrawr]

Painting horse's hooves with glitter, not. Unless they're in a parade or something. I guess those are the only people who do it anyways. Then it looks cute =)

Hmm ... Eskadron boots [any kind, gel, leather with fluff - I love Eskadrons. So much.]?

[thegrayhorse]

Never heard of 'em. But they sound cool. Hot!

Hackamores?

[HorseDayz11]

Hot! Your horse is quite under control if you can use them and they can't hurt the horse's mouth. :D

Colicing. This should be incredibly easy.

[tumislove]

NOT.
not not not not not not not.


Uhhh riding bareback? (:

[thegrayhorse]

Hot! I love riding bareback (:

Those treeless saddles?

[francesca=]]

Not? never really seen one.

Riding with sunglasses [in the jumper ring too]

[HorseDayz11]

Not, but barely okay if just riding around like on the trails.

Naming horses after another horse. Like say another thoroughbred is named Barbaro or Seabiscuit or Curlin or Street Sense etc., because they were legends.

[DixieGirl]

Hot. It makes you look like a hard worker.


Black Western Show Saddles.

[HorseDayz11]

Hot. It makes you look like a hard worker.


Black Western Show Saddles.

What makes you look like a hard worker? And sooo Hot for the saddle. I have one with bling of silver. :]

[alliekk]

nah... I don't like black saddles, unless they're english. my preference is light oil for WP and deep, mahogany red for trail class... MUAH!!! perfecto!

I saw a hot or not for Synthetic saddles and I HAVE to say NOT NOT NOT... they are cheap leather and low quality...

helmets in western pleasure

[alliekk]

I also saw earlier that someone doesn't like long manes? YOU'RE WEIRD!!! arabians are supposed to have long manes. as for western pleasure horses having long manes, I don't like it because they make the neck look fat which makes the horse look front heavy, causing him to be put in the bottom of the class for not looking balanced. just my opinion tho.

[Haley]

I guess I'm responding to helmets in western pleasure? Eh, not. I mean, safety is more important than style, but it just doesn't look good.

Hermes boots?

[alliekk]

Ummmm, I don't know what hermes boots are... buuuut....

how bout FAT BABIES!!! (the boots)

[thegrayhorse]

never heard of them. but i'll say hot because i like the name, hahahaha.

leather halters?

[Haley]

Hot. Especially with nameplates. I love having a personalized halter.

Expensive polo wraps? Such as those by the Spanish Riding School, or even any other, less expensive but still expensive brand. That made no sense, did it?

[alliekk]

I think it made sense... you meant like its the same thing only a name brand, therefor, expensive... right? I say not. instead of paying $100 for a pair of name brand polos, why not just buy the same thing for $20 that's not a name brand. who can tell the difference when they're on the horse?

hmmm, basket weave or floral print WP saddles? I know its not hot or not but I kinda want to know what people like...

[DixieGirl]

NOT.

Horse Trail Boots....

[Max]

hot

black mane and tail?

[HorseDayz11]

Hot! My horse is a bay, I better say it. :). But i love it no matter what.

Chesnut with a flexin mane and tail. Ugh. So goregous.

[StarGirl]

Hot.

Black and white paint (mostly black) with white mane and tail

[francesca=]]

hot ... although i think Id like a black mane more?

the random "natural" jump in the show ring
[I've only seen this acouple times]

[jilllovesgus]

Not. I hate those haha.

Rolltops o:

[StarGirl]

Dunno what roll tops are but they sound hot.

Umm...

Colored glitter for the horses hooves (Pink, blue, etc.) Not for shows...just for playing around.

[HorseDayz11]

Not. Ugh, looks gay. No offense to people who do it, but seriously, horses aren't barbies.

Hmmmm. The Kentucky Derby or Triple Crown Series in general.

[francesca=]]

hot! I love it when i can actually talk to my friends about horses and they know what I'm talking about this time x] and i think big floppy hats are wicked cute! [my family throws a derby party every year so its fun ]

clogs ... like the dansko [sp?] ones

[jilllovesgus]

Dunno what roll tops are but they sound hot.

It's a type of jump.

[thegrayhorse]

Uhhh, not for the clogs. I'm not a clog fan. (:

Hmmmmm. Riding in jeans & half-chaps?
(not sure if this has been done already but i'm too lazy to check, ha)

[alliekk]

I'd say hot only because if you are too lazy to look at the rest of the posts to see if it has already been asked then you are too lazy to go in the house to change into some breeches after mucking out the stalls just to go ride. hot to laziness!!!

umm, a white tail that wont come clean before a show, but a friend says they have an off-white tail extension that might match... keep scrubbing??? hot to WHITE WHITE WHITE??

[francesca=]]

white white? hot hot!!!
i have an issue with fake tales ... even though they look great and make it look more full ... i hate how they go in between the horse's legs and it rubs against them. =O

how about those little pocket wahl clippers?

[alliekk]

I can't decide if I like them or not. they're handy for touch-ups, but then again, the touch-ups I like to do usually are in the ears and they are just too loud. my horses look at me like Im nutz for even THINKING of using them on their ears. By the time I have them all wrestled down and holding tight, the stupid things die!! they're handy but stupid, Im gonna have to go with choice "C"...

how about braid in tail bags? they have their ups and downs... I have one out in the field I have yet to find... hehe

[jilllovesgus]

Hrrrm not really 'hot', but useful rather.

The Joules collection!

Hot or Not: Horse stalls far away from the show action

(moniexpony--teesdale ack! I might be going to that show next weekend but if i do I'll be going on like...10 lessons in the last six months lol)

[ashleygoesrawr]

depends. i'd say hot because then the horses can relax.

ermm. peter pletcher [haha not like is he attractive, he's gay, of course, but i mean his reputation and all. the fact that he's mr. world champion hunter rider -or was a few years back - and all. he's at shows i go to all the time and the magic is gone for me. but he does have some nice horses. but my horse beat his horses in baby greens at one show. mwuahaha. okay he wasn't riding but it was horses he trained. still. not bad. ANYWAYS off my podium.]

[alliekk]

well, if his horse that he has trained can be beat then i'd have to say not... kudos to you for beating him!!

how about all purpose saddles (as opposed to the really really expensive saddles that you have to have one for each discipline i.e. western pleasure, trail, reining...)

[musiccraze777]

Hot. As I'm not rich, I hate really expensive stuff (the expensive saddles you mentioned). They're just basically made to get the creator more money.

[Haley]

Well, that's the goal of any product. But you generally get what you pay for.


Colorful saddle pads?

[francesca=]]

Hot
even if showing in them was optional I'd still wear them


big designer riding boots
[not for riding .. all for "glamour"]
like how tall boots were "in" this fall :p

[ashleygoesrawr]

not. you have no right to wear riding boots unless you're sitting on a horse, in my opinion.

it's like just because people live in texas they think can wear cowboy hats when they've never been NEAR a farm in their life. i hate that. it's stupid. if you can ride western, sure, wear a cowboy hat. if not, you shouldn't. in my opinion =D

HITS shows [and i don't mean are ocala and arizona hot weather lol]

[ashleygoesrawr]

not. you have no right to wear riding boots unless you're sitting on a horse, in my opinion.

[alliekk]

what's the white rule? are you talking about QHs with too much white to be registrable? well in that case NOT! who cares if their stockings go higher than their knees! I don't know, I'm not a HUGE shower, but I still say not...

meeting someone as obsessive about horses as you?

[iluvcreek4vr]

Hot


Riding your horse everyday you go out to the barn?

[alliekk]

eh, not... that's not bonding, that's riding the spit out of him! go out to groom him every once in a while, just so he doesn't get sour!

Oster grooming supplies, as opposed to the cheap miss matched ones

[ashleygoesrawr]

not. i don't like the synthetic brush hairs. plus, the matchy-matchy drives me crazy. i love my german brushes =D

cowboy magic?

personally i don't like it. show sheen conditioner and detangler works 10000 times better. no joke.

[alliekk]

it's pretty good for coarse tail hair, so I'm gonna go with hot...

PMU? It's for a good cause but seriously?

[iluvcreek4vr]

eh, not... that's not bonding, that's riding the spit out of him! go out to groom him every once in a while, just so he doesn't get sour!

Oster grooming supplies, as opposed to the cheap miss matched ones

[Barrelbabe_23]

OK...

Decorated strip on a helmet (like the IRH or GPA)

I'm at Chestnut hill, you get to create your own horse and rider and every thing! The best part about it is you don't have to pay any virtual money to play, you get to do what ever. Check it out at

Spray paint? not, washable paint pretty cool. We stamped our horses at school with washable paint and dressed them up for a fund raiser pony rides, they were so cute!
How about colorful and patterned horse blankets and rugs?
