Apparently I was feeling incredibly brave (or stupid..) this morning as I decided I wanted to ride Elsie tackless.....
Now, I can't say we have the best track record for tackless riding....

Lilac matchy matchy? 20/03/15
Friday 20 March 2015
I 'accidentally' ended up on the Equiture website *again* and 'accidentally' ended up buying 3 more pairs of over reach boots, I couldn't choose which color so naturally, I bought all 3, It was a completely justified decision as they were on sale....right..?!
It wasn't until they arrived in all their patenty-fluffy-diamondy glory that i realized A) They were far too fancy to ever use and B) What on earth do I match the purple ones with?!

Photoshoot 08/03/15
Thursday 19 March 2015
On the 8th March my (very photogenic) little mare and I (not so photogenic) had a photoshoot with
the fabulous Taylor Rose Photography - well worth a Facebook stalk!!
I spent the morning washing Elsie's socks, plaiting her mane and cleaning her bridle until she was spotless, I on the other hand, was wearing the skankiest of yard clothes and my accessories included half a bale of hay in my hair and the grease from Elsies tail under my nails and all over my hands - yum. But there was no time for fuss, had a quick change in next doors stable into an item of clothing not commonly worn by me, a dress. Probably not the greatest choice for the beginning of March in what I can only describe as a mild hurricane but well worth it for some special photos for Elsie and I's 6 year anniversary!!
I dragged a slightly fed up Elsie out of her nice warm stable into the field, as soon as she saw the camera, her game face was on, I swear this pony was a model for Vogue in her previous life. I cant say the same for me, I resembled Cousin IT from The Addams Family with my hair (and dress) blowing everywhere in the wind, I managed to compose myself and successfully got through the shoot without flashing the photographer my underwear - always a bonus,
Here are a few photos from the 1st part of our shoot:
