So for halloween I was gonna do a jockey/racehorse thing(I'm not creative at all and I'm self conscious, so I figure doing something 'normal' would be easiest, plus Rascal used to race) and I was looking at a few I wanted you to critique/give opinions on.

Cheap, but I'd have to buy stirrups and leathers and a girth

I really like this one, it's pretty resonable.

My favorite, but pricey.  I could get it in black too

Similar to the one above, but more expensive

Appears to maybe come with a girth

Also, I might be planning on becoming a jockey sometime in the near future(providing everything goes smoothly) so I'd be able to use it more than just once.

sweet!  I'm gonna seriously have to check it out since I can't find any packages under $500.
And that saddle is one of the one's I've been looking at.

And also, with girths, will I use the same size I would normally(with my close contact) or will I need a bigger one?

lol I am glad I could help! They also have goggles, blinkers and that kind of stuff. I would think that you would use the same size girth.

LSS has a few pretty much every time I go in there, for around 90 bucks i think. Plus, you could pick it up the day before, use it, "change your mind" and take it back XD.

And ah, make sure you've got a hat, vest, bubble wrap, some rubber stuff so you bounce, some more bubble wrap, and super glue. Rascal may go "hmm, track saddle. I'M HEADIN FOR ARLINGTON BABY!" and you may or may not go with him XD.

before none of your printed idols do I bend in acquiescence, and he who saith "thou shalt" to me is my mortal foe.
i am all alone this time around, sometimes on the sides i hear a sound
places parallel i know it's you, feel the little pieces bleeding through
this goes on, and on, and on

mefistofeles611: hmm?
