Hi, all. Haven’t sat on a horse in 25 years and starting to get back. So far I’ve found:
– Some debate whether people still wear full chaps. Listen, I’m never not going to wear full chaps.
– There’s an awful lot of poor-quality new tack out there
– RIP Bevals, for the most part. Bevals, my every-weekend hangout from the days when Bev himself parked it in a director’s chair outside the Bernardsville store, wearing jodhpurs for no discernible reason. Bevals, my unattainable first love.
– Performance fabric show shirts
– The Show Bow persists
– Helmets have finally caught up to what’s needed for really good head protection
What are your surprises after returning?
