Stonewall Poster, Take Two (Hundred)
Are you going to the 2009 AERC National Convention? If so, keep your eyes open for me and Aaruba. We’ll be on a poster in the Stonewall Saddle Company booth.
You might recall that we had a bit of trouble with our first photo shoot for this poster. The second wasn’t a whole lot better:
This shot has potential…except that my partner seems to be snoozing.
NOW whose eyes are closed? How’s this for a new logo?
Stonewall Saddles: Secure Enough to Sleep In
Hmm. It has a nice ring.
Excuse us, we’re having a temper tantrum. (But I’m smiling!)
Where’s Ichabod Crane when you need him?
I don’t even know what to say.
Oh, here’s a nice shot! Except…what’s that hanging out of Aaruba’s mouth? I told him, no bubblegum on the set!
Finally, we managed to snap a lucky winner. Here’s a nod to my fellow bitless barefooters in the endurance world — and helmets off to my gracious sponsor (dismount first, if you please).
Anyway, if you’re at the convention, I have two things to say to you:
1) I’m jealous.
2) Be sure to stop by the Stonewall Saddles booth and give owner Jackie Fenaroli a hug from me.
Psst! I think she’s giving away business cards with my endurance conversions chart on the back…conveniently sized for your saddlebag. Enjoy!

Not to brag…..But I was able to go to the trade show – it helped that I only live about an hour away from Louisville.Stonewall shared a booth with Running Bear, I got to touch the conformal foam – very nice!Is it wrong that I’m hoping for saddle fit issues with my present saddle so I can get a Stonewall???
I never did get to see her nametag, but I presume it was the owner I spoke with – she was very complimentary of The Barb Wire blog author, too!Great photo!

SJ — I thought he looked like he was in a wind tunnel.
Lori — It is, indeed, and honor I cold never have anticipated.Nicole — Lucky girl! And noooo, I don’t think it’s wrong at all! In fact, Arabee looks a little uncomfortable in her current tack, now you mention it… ;-P
