What great ideas I have gotten, including yours. :-) I am still waiting to hear back from my sister (she's traveling) on her secret recipe.

The minute I come home-PJS! I LOVE Pjs! :) Nothing wrong with that!<br /><br />I ghetto ride in stretchy jeans but only bareback..in saddle I stick to tights, etc. Check out Horseloverz.com for tons of cheap sales lately too. I also tend to wear yoga pants from Old Navy in a pinch and works out great for only $10-19!<br />Let me know if your sister ends up giving you the dog food recipe too!Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-44212093909261935152010-11-26T11:58:59.417-05:002010-11-26T11:58:59.417-05:00Hello!

Regarding your jeans, if it works for you, why change it? :-)<br /><br />Joy - You make an excellent point regarding elastic waistband. My summer-weight jeans are pull-ons with a very wide lower rise waistband and a fake fly-front. They feel and look great. I just can't seem to find something similar in a heavier weight. My search continues!!Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743943656869294788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-88092529850015323652010-11-25T15:23:53.266-05:002010-11-25T15:23:53.266-05:00So glad to hear you're feeling better :D And w...So glad to hear you're feeling better :D And what's wrong with lounging around in PJs?!?? *says she who regularly answers the door to the postie in the morning still in her fleecy dressing gown*<br />Your exercises with Gem sound most impressive!<br />Can't help with the jeans-issue I'm afraid; I'm basically a skirt-person; the only time I wear trousers is when I'm riding or lounging about at home! But elasticated-waist is an absolute MUST!!! Good luck with finding the right pair! xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058665356922189006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-77663242224190786192010-11-25T14:20:52.279-05:002010-11-25T14:20:52.279-05:00Glad to hear you're feeling beter.

Makes sense, I guess, since the sun is our best source of vitamin D. <br /><br />As for riding jeans, I am clueless. I am an old fuddy duddy who does not stray from what works. The brand I wear, I've been wearing forever and probably will not change unless it disappears and I am forced to do so. That means I've never tried any other brands or styles for that matter. I'm probably missing out on some great product but I don't know that for sure, so I'm good. LOL<br /><br />Good luck in finding the right ones for you.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-27242189320510555482010-11-25T11:17:07.202-05:002010-11-25T11:17:07.202-05:00Good morning!

Hmmmmm.....<br /><br />Shannon - Yes, I finally watched the video. :-) I can see that it is going to be a great help and is one that you can watch over and over and still get something from it. I like the way he explains things. You know he's got a big facility in Alberta, right? Maybe you should come for a visit to Canada...??? :-) Thanks for the info on the riding cords. <br /><br />Muddy K - I actually bought a pair of Horsewoman Spirit jeans when I first started riding a couple of years ago! They are very, very comfortable and do hold things in place. Where the heck did I put them???<br /><br />Miles - Thanks! I love my PJ's!! Thanks for the info on Irideon and Kerrits. Similar idea to what Shannon is recommending. I will check it out.<br /><br />Carol - Fleece lined tights??? I love it! <br /><br />Victoria - Always a pleasure. Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Marissa - Tall boots and breeches???

The Hunter Princess over here rides in tall boots and breeches every day so I'm no help to you, but man did I laugh about the cutting off oxygen to the brain comment. I'm glad you have been feeling a little better with the nice weather and have gotten a chance to ride. Sounds like a really helpful exercise. Anything that helps you relax and shut out the noise is always a good thing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13790278181159401158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-83461002880668492272010-11-25T08:20:42.798-05:002010-11-25T08:20:42.798-05:00Wolfie - Thanks for the THanksgiving wishes.

They were very 'fitable' (lots of flexibility in sizing).<br />For winter riding (I do lots), I love Kerrits winter riding tights. They are very flexible and easy to move in and have a thin but very warm inside fleece layer.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207626703988850059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-72483102601255165352010-11-24T21:16:24.241-05:002010-11-24T21:16:24.241-05:00I'm so glad to hear your SAD is better:) And ...I'm so glad to hear your SAD is better:) And if changing into PJs when you get home is wrong I don't want to be right!<br /><br />I still love my Kerrits and Irideon riding tights-the Irideons are also boot cut.

They are long straight legs with denim knee patches, stretchy and contain both my thighs and belly wattle. The best I could do as someone whose anatomy looks quite like an olive on toothpicks.<br /><br />But seriously, thanks for the detailed description of how you are working to learn seat and leg aids.Muddy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937615888562277779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-40790976629095786092010-11-24T19:35:07.385-05:002010-11-24T19:35:07.385-05:00LMAO!

I learned a TON from that video, I'm glad you got something from it too.<br /><br />I can't help on the jeans front. I personally can't ride in jeans because the seams drive me crazy. My fave right now is a pair of Ariat bootcut riding cords.

Exercise helps, of course, getting out in the fresh air, even if it's cold, lol! <br /><br />not sure what part of Canada you are in, maybe the prairies where they are having insanely cold weather...but we got to make the best of it, since it's here for several months.<br /><br />As to jeans, no one ever looks like the model in the picture, those girls barely eat!<br />Oprah had a pair on yesterday on her favorite things show, and she said they made your butt look half it's size, lol!

Interesting...boot cut tights...<br /><br />GHM - yep, I take Vitamin D and it does help a lot. I appreciate your comment about the drop shoulder. I have to watch for that myself. You mentioned Equissential to me last year. Their product is gorgeous, but a tad out of my price range. :-(<br /><br />Story - Thanks for letting me know!

It's amazing how your seat and legs can cue the horse, the only thing I have to watch out for is to not drop my shoulders while I'm doing this sort of thing with Dusty. <br /><br />Have you ever looked at the Equissential's site. I got a pair of thermal type riding breeches from them. They are custom made(I got the no zipper type waistband) and you can pick your own type of leather for the legs, they have lots of styles including western. Take a look you've got nothing to lose. They make a nice product and the breeches fit right over your boots.
