Oh, you had some too? Would you believe I still wear mine? Although the turquoise has faded to pale blue :laughing:

Ok here’s mine, circa 1996. These were my first pair of chaps and I got repeatedly asked if I rode western. I didn’t collect turquoise or NA jewelry yet but I think it’s foretelling that I was the only H/J rider I knew to choose chaps like these…. I was always destined to become one of the Turquoise People :rofl:

Those are awesome; you were definitely destined for Turquoise People. I didn’t have full chaps with fringe, just plain ones. Maybe my next pair :grin:

@Bmpdvm, dapple greys are beautiful. Icy eventually turned completely white, like they are known to do - he was pretty young in this photo. And no, the fence was not falling down, believe it or not it was built that way :laughing:

Well @Ziacat, guess that shows I don’t know much about riding H/J🥴. I’ve never seen a tilted fense, but logically it would make it a bit wider? I can see Icy whitening with age, just as our Appys roaned out with age. Regardless, dappled horses are gorgeous!

Hey horse lovers! We got to visit a BLM Wild Horse management area in CO to do some hiking. It’s northeast from Grand Junction off of I 70. We watched a number of them way in the distance, and then as we got down in the canyon on the trail a couple were right by us.

As we were leaving we saw a herd of bighorn sheep, close to 20 of them. They’re not horses, but I’ll share a picture anyway :grin:

Aww, what a pretty fuzzy buddy with his winter coat and dorsal stripe. Sounds like a great hike. Thanks for sharing!

Yesterday evening, during research of German Silver concho belts and hair drops, I came across this and thought of this thread.

For those of us that admire the cool and the old.

Very cool, Steve, thank you for sharing. The frame you chose for it really compliments the cover, they go exceptionally well together. :+1:
