My Barn Locker: Look how organized it is!
I recently organized my locker and since it doesn't always look this neat I thought I should take the picture now. It's amazing how much stuff you need to ride beyond just the basic tack.
A: My Charles Owens Eventing helmet. Helmets are very important. Last year I got two concussions, then I got this new helmet. I haven't really had a bad fall since getting this helmet, but hopefully I won't get any more concussions. The first happened last winter. One of the naughtier ponies in the barn took off bucking and left me on the ground with blurry vision. I felt hazy and confused, and my head hurt a lot. The second concussion happend at Camp and Rally, during the summer.
B: My bridle and show halter. Clean and ready to use.
C: My paddock boots. It's just about time to start wearing my winter boots. These aren't warm enough now.
D: My Tipperary Vest. Again, important for safety.
E. Grooming supplies. Your horse can never be too clean!
F: Treats, because Moon deserves them everyday.
G: What you don't see is the mice hiding in the corners waiting to eat my popcorn, or any other snacks I keep in my locker. I've started using plastic containers to keep them out. I guess the cats around the barn are slackers.
H. I have a bunch of other stuff that doesn't fit in my locker, a dressage saddle, a jumping saddle, show gear, but more on that later.
