Funky Tack Time

Browsing the internet or flipping through a catalog, you may come across that beautiful new pessoa for a meager price of "way too much." Most of us, horse people, have "dream tack" to match our "dream horse," yet the following horse related items, will doubtedly enter your dreams unless you're extremely patriotic or insane.
This saddle makes me laugh. Though I love the U.S., I would rather ride bareback for the rest of my life than be caught riding in this beast. Can you say tacky?This next item may appeal to some more rebellious riders. I personally, could never put my sweet horse in something so dark. My horse is not, and never will be, a pirate.These boots, are just plain ugly. There's not much to say other than that if I ever saw boots like this, I might have to burn them. Such classic riding gear, shouldn't look so juvenile and tacky.This next saddle is disturbing to say the least. The only thing that should have hair in a barn is the horse, and your head. Saddles, and other riding equipment are to remain hair free. I guess if you live in Canada and want to keep your butt warm, this saddle would be a possibility.
These boots are freaky. I guess nike is the inspiration now. Heaven forbid riding look like a completely unique sport devoid of any tennis shoes. Field boots, no more! Now, you can go for a jog after you ride!The fact that someone could even consider designing a saddle like this is scary. I guess if you're a hunter it may come in handy. But when I say hunter, I'm not talking about the jumping horses.
So, my dear horse friends, whom I hope have normal tack and nixed the nike boots, what do you think of this funky tack?
Until next time,

Riding is a piece of CAKE!

When surfing the internet during my plaguing boredom, I came across an interesting website. Most kids, particularly young girls, enter the well known "pony phase" during their younger years. They begin begging their moms for a horsey and after being denied the one thing that they "can't live without," they resort to a horse themed birthday party. Most would expect pin the tail on the horsey, cowboy hats, plates and napkins embossed with cartoon horses. As a young child, I can honestly say, the horse themed birthday never happened, but if I had known there were cakes like this, it would have gone down!

This first cake is absolutely amazing! The fact that artistry can be captured through yellow cake mix, and buttercream is incredible. Though the price of this cake will likely cause fainting or possibly a stroke, I am determined to have something similar for my next birthday.

Though some cakes were stunning like the one above, not all were impressive.
The cake below is disappointing to say the least. Had it not been featured on a page displaying horse cakes I would not have guessed it was a horse. It appears to represent a mutilated anteater. Perhaps Patty was a believer in the true power of anteaters.

I have to say, this next cake is absolutely adorable and represents the "precious moments" of the horse world. Though the approach followed more of a cartoon impression, it contributes to the appeal of the cake. The detail is incredible and maintains eye interest.


What do you think of these cakes? Do you like any of the others featured on the webpage?
Comment below and give me your thoughts!

Until tomorrow,
