We all know that we can spend as much as we want on horse. Seriously there is no upper limit you can spend on horses. Keeping the number down to a reasonable number is much more difficult. So anyway I can save a few pennies is a few more pennies I can put toward the purchase of my eventual horse.
Although I am only leasing Indy, the owner's grooming supplies are locked up. So it is just easiest for me to have my own. Plus I just like having my own. In a little barn in Wisconsin are all the groom brushes I need, unfortunately they are about 2 hours away and I have not had time to go and get them.
Additionally, shortly after moving down here I let my hubby use my grooming tote for tools. Then he broke it. Men!
SO - now I get to get a new grooming tote and stuff. Oh darn! 😏
Anyway back to stuff to get at Dollar Tree.
First are cleasing wipes. I swear these have 101 uses:
* wiping off a horse nose,
* cleaning your own hands
* wiping down a leg
* off a small wound
* cleaning mud from boots
* wiping buckets
* cleaning faces .. yours and your horses
Seriously barns are dirty.
Another handy thing to wipe things off with is a towel. And this is a mircofiber towel so it will pick all that dust left over from a good grooming. Even if you are not going in to the show ring, it is nice to do a through wiping down from time to time.
Plus, again, you can wipe off your hands, boots, tack, etc.
And you no doubt notice is both pictures I have a hair brush. I like this one because is it a little stiffer then most brushes, but not as stiff as typical mane brushes. I am really looking forward to using this to get out mud from Indy's tail.
Anyone need a bath? This microfiber washmit for horses will be perfect for bath time. I found a microfiber wash sponge on a tack site for $5! Five Dollars! This is a steal for only $1.
And don't get me started on brushes! I plan on going back for a few more brushes after I get my new grooming kit.
Cross fingers it will be here on Friday! Probably won't, but hopefully!

Every moment I spend with Tank, I feel renewed. Which is a good thing because things in my professional life are less than perfect right now...
