How much is TOO much???

Question

ok so I own 2 showmanship/halter jackets, about 7 shirt for riding classes for western pleasure.... Is that too much? I mean I just show in open shows and 4-H ..... so should I sell some of these shirts?

Answer 1

I say keep them. Shucks I still wear a few shirts that I rode bulls in and that was dang near 8 years ago. But I might not be a good one to judge off of, I'm a pack rat. Haha

Answer 2

Now if you have the sort of stupid luck I have then selling some would mean that you immediately have some sort of "accident" with what's left and have to go buy some in a hurry.

They cost nothing to feed and take up very little space - I say keep them - you never know.

Answer 3

if they dont fit, but if they do keep them, its good not to wear the same outfit to every show(so ameture)lol!

Answer 4

From a person who now owns 8 pairs of Ariat boots....(curse you, ebay, CURSE YOU!!!)

You could sell a few that you haven't worn lately.

It would make room for some new ones....(vicious circle, isn't it?)

Answer 5

If they don't fit then why keep them when you could be selling them, making money, and buying something else you need?

But if they do fit dont worry, i dont think you can have too many shirts. You never know what can happen at the last minute, trust me, i used to own a hack horse before she died 2 weeks ago and the amount of times i would be about to go in the ring and would slip in mud or notice a big dirty patch on my leg were phenomenal.

You defiantly don't have to much gear.

Answer 6

Not at all, you need to look your best and having more is better than none. Say one rips and you sold all the rest you are screwed if you need another one as quick as possible. I say keep them and if you dont need them later on or retire what you do then get rid of them or give them to children you have or other family members who love horses.

Answer 7

I like to have the option to use some other shirts, so i say keep them if they fit you.

I have a drawer in my dresser with show shirts for barrels. (plain collared long sleeves) in tons of different colors. I have gotten rid of some because they dont fit but i do like to have the other shirts in case i use different colored tack.

I also keep three different colored shirts for pleasure. The fancy ones, A lime green one, a turquoise one, and a pink one. oh and i also have a natural colored one.

It all depends on my mood. :) i think its normal if you show alot. like NBHA etc

Answer 8

keep ur two jakets and three shirts, at most. Be reasonable, i dont think you really go to shows everyday!!! There are kids in this world who don't have shoes or soap. There are adults trying to sell clotes hangers to make enough of a living to feed their family. There are children who eat not four times  day, but four times a week! Don't distance yourself from these people...you could have been born into their situation, and then what would ou say to yourself?!
