Rockford & I.B.
The media is fired up, Eight Belles' death sparks controversy, and I'm thinking: why wouldn't it? It's just another form of animal abuse. My heart goes out to Eight Belles, I wish I owned her, ..actually, I wish I owned every single pony out there that isn't being treated kindly and spoil them with lotsssss of love, grooming, & carrots <3
..if only *sigh*
It's becoming more and more evident now that the stables are becoming my residential address, ..the one thing that gets me out of bed these days is knowing that by the end of my day at work, I'd run home, jump into my breeches and boots, chug in a can of sugar-free redbull, grow wings & fly out to the stables, and THAT is when everything else in my life switches off, including my phone and blackberry.
And yesterday I've received the saddle racks I've ordered, silver, and foldable to mount them on the wall in the tack-room. Not that I have a dozen saddles {YET! lol}, but I'm expecting my jumping saddle soon, and intend to make an order for one more that I can use interchangeably on both IB and Sultan for those days with just free riding. I don't know how long that will take of course, but I really can't wait. I think I've done a mistake with going for brown on the Antares saddle, for, despite the fact that the brown leather is so deep in color, black compliments IB more -- especially when it comes to the mexican grackle bridles, he looks stunning in a black one, sooooo unbelieeeeeevably gorgeous -mashaAllah- & that kind of beauty deserves a black saddle, no? -- Alright fine, I think it's quite evident that yours truly here gets a kick out of splurging on her ponies, b..buh..but seeeeeriouslyyyy, they're every bit worth it!
The trainer seems to think so do, the more time he spends with my ponies, the more he falls in love with them -- this is coming from someone who advised me against using IB for jumps, and thought I ought to invest in a french warm-blood for that, I on the other hand was the least bit concerned, because just like everything else in life: there are always exceptions, and my IB is one. I love him!
Nonetheless, I wouldn't mind having Rodrigo Pessoa's Rockford as my own pony {or borrow? lol}, I love this pony to bits! -- I dunno, but something about him reminds me of I.B, I think it's the facial expression/eyes? not sure really. But I know that he looks adooooooorable in that photo going down a hill, with his ears shot up like in focus.. soooo cuuuute <3

..and taking a jump+++ +++ +++
Since the days of high school, I've always been a magnet for polo tops -- my favorite polo shirt was a beige one that I used and abused to death {I still have it tucked in somewhere in a box with my uniform from my last year of school}, I loved it! and I wore it to my final exams because it was uber comfortable and cute <3
There are things we never grow out of, and to me, polo tops is one. I still cannot resist them, and I'm often a pilgrim of Lacoste at marina mall, Escada Sport, & Ralph Lauren, ..this season's variations have surpassed any other though, RL introduced these polos adorned with stirrups, bits, and leather straps -- they've run out of the off-white {my favorite}, so I'm a little torn between the red, and the navy blue.. any suggestions? I keep hearing both! both! both! in the back of my head lol
