Show couture

The latest issue of Horse & Rider came in the mail, which E and I immediately read cover to cover. One of the articles this month focussed on show arena clothing. I am absolutely blown away by the cost of the shirts, pants, chaps....well, everything. It is ridiculous that one show shirt can send you back hundreds of dollars! I took a look at ebay to see if there was anything available at a more reasonable price - and among the higher priced items I found one used shirt with a slight blemish in the back (it had a pull in the knit) that was still going for more than $40!

I think I need to learn how to make these clothes and start marketing them. The sales could easily support our horse habit!
