Bakersfield or Bust!

 

I have a few pictures I wanted to share with you all from last weekend's celebration!  I had a blast!  As many of you may know, I spent my weekend as a bridesmaid in my good girlfriend Suzanne's Tahoe wedding.  I had such a great time and felt like a princess in my ball gown as we ate, drank and danced!  Even all the rainy, stormy fall weather couldn't put a damper on the party!  The wedding was thankfully planned for indoors and lots of fun was had by all. The weekend was complete with the appearance of a few beautiful rainbows.

Back to work this week and we are busily working on a few new CBH horsemanship tops to take to next week's show.  This is it, the last show of the season for us as Vendors.  The fantastically talented Lois and Janice team will be heading south and manning our booth at the Central California Paint Horse Club's Western Paint World Show down in Bakersfield, CA.  If you don't see the ladies hanging out front among our clothes, they can usually be found inside the M-BOX stitching and bitching behind the machines!  Don't be shy, stop by and see us at work.  We'll be stoning and sewing, working on clothes we're proud to put our label in.  I hope all our great paint clients and friends plan to attend.  The forecast is looking good and this show is a

great chance to get some ring time before next month's BIG APHA World Show.  Come by and check out these new CBH horsemanship designs when they're all finished.  We are going to wrap up our show season with a bang, so we've decided to offer an unbeatable 10% Off Show Special! Yes, 10% off  everything!!! (except new orders) So here's a little peek on our newest  designs, and they couldn't be coming together better.

We've been letting our imaginations run wild and now we're cutting into some of our favorite fabrics.  I'm pretty excited about our new horsemanship tops.  Can you tell! ha! ha!  It's nice to take a break from the popular jackets.  It feels like the big jacket trend has dominated my work for the entire last year.  Horsemanship is one of my favorite classes from back in my old show days and I still love to watch this class.  The level of talent I see is fantastic.  The ladies who dominate this class have nothing to hide and should be nothing but proud to show off their excellent equitation.  I know most of us gals are big fans of the modern untucked shirt and jacket styles that are the current look in just about every class from Pleasure to Trail.  In my opinion these structured jackets are usually the best and most flattering choice for most body types.  But in Horsemanship I recommend sticking with the old tuck-in tradition.  The good news is the newer styles in horsemanship are often made of comfy stretchy fabric and don't include the dreaded snap crotches of the past!  These thinner stretch fabrics allow for ease of movement within the desired form fitting silhouette, allowing you to focus on sitting pretty and having your best ride.

Whether you're a little last minute and headed to the world shows or are already planning for next spring's show season, come by and see us.  We've got unbeatable style and prices if you're shopping in the one-of-a-kind market.

Happy Showing and Happy Shopping!
