Horse and Tack Expo

So this weekend was the Horse and Tack Expo in Eugene, and of course I couldn't resist! Saw lots of super awesome things and horses. Also bought me a nice hunt cap for shows for....wait for it.... 10 BUCKS! And it is in perfect shape, beautiful and nice :) What a steal. Also got a nice hunt show shirt for 5 bucks, with the collar and all. Ah.... I love cheap stuff..



Saw some horses that made me drool all over myself. Including Jeljer, a Friesian stud who is oober beautiful. Only got to see him in his stall though, so excuse the terrible photo.


Also saw an Andalusian stud named...um...

Well the name escapes me for the moment. He was black, and so very extremely handsome. I have a video of him being ridden. I actually have a lot of videos of the expo, but currently they refuse to be small enough to text. So until I find a way around that, everyone gets to wait.


Also have a video of a lady doing a reining pattern bareback and bridle-less. The horse was great! Sliding stops, rollbacks, spins, and the works. At one point...hehehe.... The horse was running down towards my end to do a sliding stop, but stopped way too late and almost ran into the panels of the arena right in front of my nose! And I got a video of it....hahaha.

Also a video of 'horse soccer'. The funniest and most fun-looking thing I've ever seen. Horses actually being ridden around chasing a giant blow-up soccer ball trying to make goals.


All in all, the expo was really fun :) And sooner or later I will be able to share the fun videos... Just don't hold your breath!
