John, Jaye, Donna, the kids and I went to the 4-H tack swap today. We were blessed with yet another beautifully sunny day. There were many people there.
We all found a little something. John bought a foldable outdoor chair with foot rest. It was only $10.00. Jaye found a halter ($7.00?) and clips. Donna found breeches and boots for her little girl. I bought a saddle and bare back pad -- hey, the price was right.
And besides, the old stuff is always better than the new.
We met a few old friends with whom we talked about horse shoes, trail rides and acceptance of our aging horses with failing health.
Friends and horses -- the older I get the more valuable they become.
You made some great finds! I think I saw the chair you are talking about, lol.
ReplyDeleteI went, and couldn't believe how huge it was this year. Sadly, I ran into too many people that I knew and didn't really have a chance to shop. Next year, I'm going to have to make sure I get there early. Who knew it would be so fantastic this year?
I think running into the people was the best part. All the stuff and leather smells just created the atmosphere for this great SOCIAL gathering. Enjoy your horses.
