When we were at the PA Expo they had one of those stands where they embroider halters with whatever you want and I wanted to get one for Simon. But I was wishy washy on spending the money, since I already have a few halters that fit him. But by the time I got home I had decided I should have gotten him one in our games team, Old School, colors.
So, per a friend’s suggestion, I ordered one from Chick’s Saddlery online. I got it in navy blue with gold overlay and had ‘Old School’ embroidered on the nose and ‘Simon’ on the cheek.
I think it looks pretty spiffy on him, although I wish I had ordered a size larger. I ordered the size he was currently wearing, which had tons of room to spare, but apparently the sizing on the monogrammed halters was a little different. It does fit him, but it’s a little more snug than I would like. But unless I happen to get another pony named Simon that has a slightly smaller head, my current pony named Simon is just going to have to deal.
