Junk In Your Trunk Blog Hop

Junk In Your Trunk Blog Hop

As soon as I saw this awesome blog hop from Viva Carlos I knew I had to participate. I’m kind of obsessed with my tack trunk.  Even though I know that one piece of tack or equipment does not make or break a rider by any means, I still always thought a vinyl tack trunk would help me “belong” in the hunter world.  I got mine as a very generous Christmas gift when I was in college, and it’s probably one…

First Lesson in New Saddle

First Lesson in New Saddle

Showing up for my lesson last Sunday I was feeling drained from being sick (breathing is a key element of riding apparently) and insecure in my new saddle.   If given the choice I probably would have been cantering cross rails and leaving after thirty minutes. Of course my trainer being my awesome trainer gave me a “No, you are crazy” look and set the jumps up 2’3″ – 2’6″. I have to admit, the more I ride in my…

Noble Outfitters Socks Review

Noble Outfitters Socks Review

Let’s talk about socks!  I was never one of those kids who was like “aw, socks?!?” when holidays came around, because I heart socks.  I have springer spaniel socks, socks for holidays, socks with ponies, socks with ice skating penguins and of course… lots of boot socks.  I especially heart boot socks. So when Noble Outfitters contacted me and asked if I’d like to review something, I said… socks! They sent two pairs which I will both review today, first…

The Saddle Saga Concludes

The Saddle Saga Concludes

I’ve spent about 48 hours ruminating over my new saddle, and I’ve officially decided to keep it.  Now that I’ve made that decision I’m going to slather it in conditioner and get that baby broken in as soon as possible… but I also figure I should blog about it. For those of you just checking in, I settled on the Prestige Roma Jump because it was in my price range, has a higher channel for wither clearance, and a flattish…
