So she goes from a liver color in the spring when she sheds, and gets lighter all summer till she's really bleached out and almost matches her mane, then come fall she start getting dark again. lol! She definitely has a wide range of colors!Dun Got Classhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501877307183730606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753102169936701394.post-65975474707636584612010-12-21T19:03:36.084-08:002010-12-21T19:03:36.084-08:00Lady sure is pretty though..her coloring changes s...Lady sure is pretty though..her coloring changes so much! 2 or 3 times a year she acts like this...wow, jealous! :)Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753102169936701394.post-53416135865519596902010-12-20T18:29:01.576-08:002010-12-20T18:29:01.576-08:00Dom, yup, the tan ones in the picture are my mecat...Dom, yup, the tan ones in the picture are my mecate reins. I have a couple sets of them, two on snaffle bridles (one for Lady, one for Cody) and one set on a bosal bridle. I had never used them before until I started playing around with some of the CA stuff a couple years ago, now I'm hooked, I really like them, and very handy. lol! You attach them to a bridle using a set of leather slobber straps, those are the leather straps on her bit, and the reins run through them. <br /><br />Wolfie, thanks Lady is a sweetheart! I really like the mecate reins. You can get them in either nylon rope or braided horse hair. You see them on bosal bridles a lot, but I definitely like them on the snaffle bits too. <br /><br />Sarah, isn't that a hoot? And so NOT like Lady! And yeah, ground poles?!?!? I couldn't help but laugh at her. Thankfully she was a good girl tonight, and walked right over the ground poles like they weren't even there. Never batted an eye at them!Dun Got Classhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501877307183730606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753102169936701394.post-49886454026935725662010-12-20T17:08:02.663-08:002010-12-20T17:08:02.663-08:00LOL Lady, you nut!

Not all the scary equipment, or the corners, but...ground poles:) I hope she was good for the kids tonight:)<br /><br />That door is going to be the death of me...SOOOO heavy!<br /><br />Finally, your Holiday card was beautiful.

C.A. is great for getting their brains back in their heads. I have mecate reins on a rope hackamore that I haven't ridden in for a while. Are those yours in the first picture? You'll have to pardon the stupidity, but where on the bridle do they attach to?Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.com
