First off I am in LOVE with this shadbelly. want want want!
Now the boots are something that I personally would love to see in freestyles, like dressage under the stars. In a normal competion? I think not. I feel like they would attract too much attention. Attention that could be on your horse.
The horse is always the star.
Dont forget that tack/apparel making people. Dont forget that.
I mean have you seen how dressage horses are treated? They are treated like kings. I want to come back as a dressage horse in my next life, and be ridden by Heather Blitz ;)
