Dressed to Ride IEA

By Twotimesthefun @slcs48n1
When the brunette twin announced that she wanted to join a college equestrian team, she made a list of everything she needed. Competitions required specific clothing from a helmet to boots. 

A national horseback riding website had a local retail outlet. Twice a year the store held a huge "tent" sale. In this case, there wasn't a real tent. The entire sale was inside the large store.

The brunette twin and I drove to the store with our master list. The store was very busy when we arrived. We found the proper shirt and jacket, a crop and boots. At least we thought we had boots. 

While we were trying on boots, a salesperson asked about the clothing piled up by the brunette twin. We told her that she was going to join an IEA team. The salesperson explained that the boots we collected were not IEA boots.

The IEA boots we needed were not on sale. In fact, the boots alone cost more than all the clothing combined. Still, we walked out feeling pretty good. We had everything we needed and almost everything was on sale. We declared success and drove home to share our success with Daddy.
