Horse Blogger Yard Sale

Hi Friends!

Arya saw the chiropractor today and I am excited to share and document all of that, but it's going to wait until tomorrow so I can get this post out. I am a terrible person and haven't photographed anything yet, so ask for pictures if I haven't updated with them (I'm planning to start tonight). To make it up to you all, prices are shipped. And I won't be an asshole and charge you shipping if you didn't read this like I do on facebook. Heh. 

Please feel free to email me at my paypal email, foxrivereventing (at) gmail (dot) com for pics and details, as well as posting here.

FOR SALE:

Philippe Fontaine Deauville –

Marketed as an AP saddle, this saddle could be used as such, or would actually be a fantastic dressage saddle for the right pair of legs; someone who likes to ride with a touch more bend in their knee will like this saddle. 18” seat, fits MW and wider with flexible tree points; has been comfortably used on a stout OTTB and barrel shaped QH. Memoryflex foam panels have some give when felt, but provide a nice close contact ride. Short billets, but could easily be replaced with long and no one would guess it was an AP saddle. Saddle has a front banana block and removable rear thigh block. Classy black calfskin with white stitching and pretty fleur de lis buttons. Has been lightly used, but I wouldn’t consider it broken in yet; I rode in another model of this brand for a handful of years and found that it just got softer and more flexible with time and cleanings; the underside of the flaps could use oil to soften them. Will come with a fleece and nylon cover (not branded, unless I can find that one too). Can negotiate for leathers and irons. I have been asking $700 but am open making a deal, especially with a blogger!

Thinline Contour Pad – older style, but still flexible and in good condition. A few “finger nail” sized marks on one edge, but otherwise no rips, tears or other damage. Has ventilation holes along the back. Asking 50$ shipped.

Blankets

75” Weatherbeeta Original Detach-a-neck Medium Weight – this blanket did 3 years of winter service on BB, and has some rips that have been patched or glued. It is dirty as I never washed it after last year, but as of the last time I used it, appears to still be waterproof. Open to any offer; I can’t stand to throw it away as it’s still functional.

Jammies Shoulder guard – size M. Green, hardly used. $35

36” Amigo foal blanket. Expands 6”. Grey with pink and yellow trim, belly band. Really nice quality foal blanket. Butt strap has been cut off but can be re-sewn or included. $50

Weatherbeeta Cooler – Brown with blue trim. Nearly new, used once but doesn’t fit the horse I want to use it on. Will wash before shipping! $50

Stateline Tack Medium blanket – 220g of insulation. Good quality blanket, has one large-ish repair on a 3-corner tear on the shoulder. European cut. Blanket is older, but in good condition otherwise. Has been in storage as a spare, but I haven’t used it so no use in letting it sit. $70

Tack and Strap

*NEW* Black Professionals Choice boot bag for holding your horses boots. $30 obo

Black Laced Reins – brand new without tags, Courbette laced reins. Really beautiful and the brand is known to be long and hard wearing; I prefer rubber and will not use these. Asking $50 shipped.

Horze Prince Bridle – black horse size dressage bridle with white padding. Schooling condition. $35 shipped

Amigo Event Bridle by Horsewear – black cob size flash bridle. Reinforced flash tab, very nice, sturdy bridle for the price point. Has a few holes punched to help it fit a horse between horse and cob size. $40 shipped

Black Rope Gag Cheeks – made by Treadstone. Lightly used with no signs of wear other than the rope is a bit dirty. $30 shipped

Black Cob Size figure 8 noseband – brought home from England, but my mares ended up taking the horse size. Padded disc, no sheepskin. Has a bit of imperfect leather (odd texture) about where it would sit on the mouth, but is 100%, just not totally beautiful. $35 shipped

5” eggbutt bit, single link. $15

5” Cheltenham gag (eggbutt gag) with black rubber mouth, single link. 25$. With gag cheeks, $45

Training/Other

Black Side Reins with Donut – Horze brand, horse size. Has clips at the bit and nice roller buckles. $35 shipped

Lunging Surcingle by Horze – black, with original girth (unused) - $35 shipped.

Deal – looking for a lunging rig? $55 shipped OBO

Apparel

Smartpak Knit Piper Full Seats – Size 26L.

Black – have a repair below the front zipper that isn’t very prettily done, but functional and could be repaired by a more skilled person and look great. $40

Brown #1 – a few stitching flaws around the waist but are otherwise in great shape, pretty chocolate brown color. $35

Brown #2 – More substantial stitching flaws around the waistband, but have been rudimentarily reinforced (I suck at sewing). Otherwise are in good condition. $35

Ariat Breeze Half Chaps – Used pair with stretched out elastic. Was size medium, but would fit larger calves. $35 shipped

Bette and Court Sun Shirt – Size small, pink, with small embroidery on the shoulder. Worn only a few times; I really need a medium or large. $35 shipped.
