Re our intimidating agent: I remember her telling me we needed white pillows, white towels and preferably a bedspread. I was a bit taken aback, as we already had a rather minimalist style, just not pure white. I caved and bought some white pillow covers, and some new ice blue towels. She sighed. I found a tatty fake fur white pillow hidden somewhere, and she was quite pleased. "See, you DO have something white."
Luckily the weather was a bit damp the day we were showing the house, which camouflaged the itty bitty white pawprints caused by our cat tracking fresh paint all over the newly oiled patio.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
