Or at least, that's what you'd find before I moved my horses into the middle of Tulsa. Now, instead of just going to the barn and going home, I sometimes incorporate errands like grocery shopping or electronics recycling into my trips. Sometimes I have lunch with Johnny before I ride. I almost always stop at the QuikTrip near the barn to use the restroom and buy an enormous iced tea. In an effort to avoid being kicked out of any of these establishments, I've been trying to look a little more presentable on barn trips. (QT is like...the most deluxe gas station/convenience store in the world. Texas people, back me up on this.)
Here's what I've been wearing over the last few weeks:
 |
| On Course breeches, Eddie Bauer shirt, Target vest, Mid-America hat |
 |
| On Course breeches, Old Navy shirt, Carhartt vest, Polo hat, Buckle sunglasses, mid-90s Croakies |
 |
| On Course schoolers, Eddie Bauer shirt, Eddie Bauer vest, Polo hat, Buckle sunglasses, Croakies |
 |
| On Course breeches, horse camp tee, Patagonia fleece, Mid-America hat, Buckle sunglasses, Croakies |
 |
| On Course breeches, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park long- sleeved tee, Nike Dri-Fit hat, Buckle sunglasses, Croakies |
 |
| On Course breeches, polo training school tee, Skyhawk equestrian team jacket, Mid-America hat, Buckle sunglasses, Croakies |
 |
| I have a hat for almost every outfit, no joke. |
About the hats: I have 8 hats advertising Mid-America Farm & Ranch in Talala, Oklahoma because they give you a hat for every ton of feed you purchase. They were our supplier for most of the horse feed we purchased at the therapeutic riding center, so we frequently had free hats in the office. I accumulated these (as well as the red and brown Cactus Ropes hat and the tan Safeguard hat) over the course of the three years I worked there. I also have a hat problem.
I'd love to see more of what y'all are wearing to the barn! (And would love to hear suggestions for those hunter green breeches I have.)

Um, your riding outfits are adorable and I want your ball hat collection :)
No one wants to see what I wear to the barn. In fact, this morning I looked down at myself and thought, "This is barely appropriate attire to get covered in horse shit." I'm the sloppiest barn dresser ever.
Thanks! I kind of love having the hats...they are hands down the best way to cover up helmet hair!
Hahahaha! At least it's no big deal if Bobby coughs up a giant green loogie on you or you get purple Thrush Buster on yourself.
Yeah I was gunna say that is a lot of hats!
I also have a hat issue! I love your outfits! I'm not a huge hunter green fan, but I used to have a pair and the colors I thought looked best with them were: cream, black, pink (cause I love pink), and brown.
