Best. Boots. Ever.

So seriously. Best. Boots. Ever. (and say hello to Mae in the background)

These were a phenomenal Christmas gift from my boss at the barn. I took to calling her the boot fairy for a while.

She and I had the best chat the other night over a cup of tea about how one of the things we love about the barn is that this is *not* a competition in almost any way. Because our girls are more focused on being the best rider they can be than getting to competitions (not that those two things are mutually exclusive at all) the barn tends to draw those who aren't comparing hair/breeches/makeup whatnot. Most likely we're not wearing much if any makeup (you'll just sweat it off). Our gals show up in t-shirts with the sleeves cut off in the summer and piled high with whatever is warm in the winter. Our socks probably don't match and we're happiest around the beasties - not even necessarily on them.

We might want to know where your fantastic boots came from though.  :)

I wear these regularly at the barn, but with a damp paper towel, they cleaned up beautifully for Christmas Midnight Mass with a tweedy brown skirt and cabled ivory sweater.

You can pick up your own fantastic boots from SmartPak Equine.
