How many hunt coats do you think a person has to have before they need to check themselves into an institution. Say aforementioned person has 2 rehabbing horses who obviously can't show and another horse coming back from injury and learning changes who is unlikely to show until August. How many hunt coats is too many. What if aforementioned person has a gray with blue plaid coat, which is her favorite-- but just found another slightly different gray with blue plaid coat for sale. If she considers buying it, does that make her mentally ill. This is PURELY hypothetical. I am asking for a friend of a friend.

As a follow up, what if this friend of a friend has coats still hanging in the closet with tags. Does it make her ready for the nuthouse to consider buying another one before she wears what she has. What if she buys hunt coats as a karmic way to shift the rehabbing gods in her horses' favor. What if she buys hunt coats because she's depressed she can't show. |

VXF, step AWAY from the computer. Away from E-Bay, Bit of Britain, Dover, et. al. Either that, or learn to incorporate your hunt coats into office attire ;-) |

I know, if I wore them to work every day I could easily justify it. Huh! Just the other day, I stopped to think about shoeing. One round of shoes for the boys is more than I have ever spent on a single pair of shoes for me (including field boots!). Each month, I spend the equivalent of a pair of Manolos shoeing my boys. I would never DREAM of buying myself shoes that cost that much-- but I write that check to the farrier without blinking. But when it comes to me? I always try to buy stuff on sale. For my boys-- if they need it, I buy it. It's sick how much horse stuff costs.

Here, I'll help. You've got it all wrong -- It's bad karma to buy more coats when you haven't ever worn what you have. It makes the rehabbing gods think that you're overly confident that your boys on injured reserve will be back in the show ring in no time at all. You have to fool the gods into believing that you'll be perfectly delighted and satisfied if you never get to do anything more with your boys than ride around bareback at the walk. Once convinced, THEN the rehabbing gods will bestow healing miracles that allow your horses to walk, trot, canter and jump again. Got it?

OK, I'll play! I think I have at least five coats with tags and an equal number without. My horse has pulled of his entire hoof wall with his shoe last week, and the chances of showing in this lifetime are getting slimmer and slimmer. Meanwhile I have more coats and shirts and breeches than someone showing several times a week should have!

V...I have the shirts to go with all your coats! I have 13 or 14 show shirts. ALL of which were purchased before I had Duplo and started actually showing again...it is an illness. I also have 5 coats...but they are all different...and next Christmakah I'm getting myself a black one. Already planning it... |

Well, feel good that are you are making the rest of us feel better, I don't have that many hunt coats, but all of them have been bought while I couldn't show, so I have the same problem. I currently have three, and am scheming to have my mother make me another one. (Are you all going to throw rocks at me now that you know I have a mother that can make hunt coats? Oh and did I say that she does a fantastic job and that I can get any color that is made in the world with any color lining? ) But really, you're doing a public service by letting the rest of us know that we're not alone

You know you have a sickness when you own 3 grandprix shadbellies all which collect dust in you closet... Vxf111 I know your problem oh to well. I hunt coats too and can't pass up a pretty coat... Best thing is to go through your collection and weed out some ones you don't wear so you can purchase new one you will!!!

PLEASE!! dance for the size FIVE freaky aluminum shod boy. ARGH! I am thinking about just keeping him barefoot. Cheaper and less tragedy. I guess three shows per year may be our limit.
