I have no idea why, since every time I break down and acquire the latest-and-greatest piece of equipment, I end up disappointed and returning to baseline. So here I am bopping along with my Woof boots and cheapie gel pad and fat single-joint snaffle...although the Thinline reins, I will say, are well-worth the price of admission!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237668899993749427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-60010310829233640602012-06-14T07:14:35.212-06:002012-06-14T07:14:35.212-06:00! :O TEAM CANADA!!!

I'm a movie whore.

Cuna will love that pad :) <br /><br />Just $5 cheaper but VTO has that pad for $159 and I think they have pretty reasonable shipping... Its only $5 for me. Don't know what Ecogold charges for shipping.<br />http://www.vtosaddlery.com/product/EG/EGSJP.htmHillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884053627728391449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-17893699994152464472012-06-13T12:45:27.682-06:002012-06-13T12:45:27.682-06:00I remain in awe of your mad budget skills.

Right now I make good money but I put about 50% of it in savings and live like I don't make good money. Look at ebay for that pad!
