Dream Come True

Sunshine and palm trees!
Ok, well maybe calling it a "dream" is a little much, but I've ALWAYS wanted to go to a Dover store. There are none near me and when I was in San Diego over the weekend, it was the closest I've ever been. So my wonderful mother and I drove an hour to the Dover store. I was so excited! Talk about tack heaven.



I ended up mostly restraining myself (though I spent quite a bit of time drooling over a Dy'on Anatomic bridle and the saddle pads) and ended up buying a new pair of schooling gloves in my favorite color from Noble Equine, some Peddie socks and a hoof pick/bottle opener for some friends. So basically all Noble Equine purchases!

So many wants
 
Then my (again, awesome) mom bought me an Ariat sun shirt. I love it! I had a really hard time deciding between navy and turquoise, but eventually decided on the navy. I love that they were a good price, the material seems super light weight and the fit was really nice. I wish they had some Kastel's to compare to since I've always heard how nice those are!


Overall it was a fun day and I spent way too long just walking around in circles and looking at everything at least a couple times. Oh, and trying on the $300 breeches was pretty entertaining (and dangerous!)

Saddles, and clothes, and C4 belts...

  2. I went to the store in Ohio and was honestly disappointed. It was kind of small without a big selection :(

    1. Yeah, the selection wasn't quite what I was expecting, so that was a bit disappointing. Still bigger than anything I've ever been to though!

  4. LOL I spend my life trying to avoid Dover like the plague, and they built one literally 10 minutes from my house. But it is useful sometimes to go in and see/feel something in person.

    1. We have one tack store in my area (besides a used tack store) and it's almost 2 hours away. So I jump at the chance to go to ANY tack store lol!
