I’m a little behind on the documentation side of things surrounding the holidays… our barn worker was off for 3 days so that left me doing the whole farm, and it rained yesterday so the riding horses got a bit off-schedule. I’m still playing catch-up today! I’ll work on a bigger/better post about whats been going on over the past week and all the Christmas excitement (or lack thereof, really) but today, please behold my glorious velcro wall.

When the SO asked me what I wanted for Christmas, this was the only thing that really came to mind. About a month ago I had bought some heavy duty outdoor adhesive velcro with the idea of making some strips to hang my boots in the crossties, but I never made it any further than that. So ya know… I passed the project on to him. It was a win/win really…. he got out of Christmas pretty cheap, and I got a chore done that I just really didn’t have the capacity or energy for. Plus I’m freakin obsessed with my velcro boot wall. It’s a solid 10/10. It keeps the boots off the ground, they’re easily accessible, and they can hang up there to dry where they get more airflow and are out of the way. I may or may not be debating what all else I could velcro to the wall.

Another quick side note: Riding Warehouse started their annual Bargain Bin sale today… it’s worth a dig, I saw some Knotty Girlz rope halters and saddle pads and sunshirts for $15, LeMieux pads/boots and Woof boots and some Shoofly style fly boots for $25, Ariat Romfh and LeMieux breeches in the $50 bin, etc etc. I think I might nab some new barn boots and see what else they’ve got.

Hope everyone had a good holiday!
