My bridle coffin: A new product idea?

Posted: 02 Feb 2011 12:58 PM PST

Okay, so I need some help with a brand name. But the basic idea isn't a bad one...

A storage dilemma
My trainer travels to my barn to work with Riley, and she's very busy with many horses to ride each day. To help her save time, I moved my saddle etc.  to the area across from Riley's stall. The dust exposure is high. The saddle is on a stand in a heavy duty, fur-lined saddle bag. But what about the bridle?


The average bridle bag would get dusty too fast, and it's too easy for it to slip behind something. How to store it? I found the answer to my problem in the aisles of the local Target--a plastic box  intended for storing two pairs of shoes. Voila! It's airtight and my bridle and Gumbits fit in there perfectly. It's ightweight, easy to open/close, easy to clean, and easy to store.

Maybe I've watched too many Twilight trailers, but...
The box is vaguely morbid. Have you ever seen Lenin's tomb? Or the glass coffin of Saint Catherine Labouré (left)? That's what I think of when I look at the container. I referred to it jokingly as "the bridle coffin," and the name has stuck.
