It’s been a long time since I’ve done a product review, but with things returning to more normalcy around here I would expect to see more of them in the future. Today I’m back with a new product from Horze. While I will be the first to admit that I’m not a huge polo wrap fan, I thought the design of the Horze Crescendo Orion Combi wraps might change my mind. It’s not that I hate polo wraps, but I’m…
I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ve been a fan of Horze products for years prior to them asking me to review some items on this blog. In my opinion, this is a great online retailer to search for solid basics… especially during their sales! One of my first orders from Horze included some grooming supplies, so it only makes sense that I would happily review some additional brushes and grooming equipment from them. Though I don’t have any pictures, I…
I am a lover of boots. Specifically – horse boots. Usually I don’t admit to being much of a tack ho, but boots are my weakness. If it weren’t for extreme self control, I’d have a million pairs. So when Horze contact me about reviewing their extremely popular tendon boots, I jumped at the chance. In the past I’ve ordered fancy fleece protection boots from Horze, and was happy with the quality. For me, sizing was an issue since some…
Some of you may have noticed last week that I was schooling Simon in a dressage bridle. No, we’re not moving to the dark side… but we were reviewing a dressage bridle from Horze! I’ve actually never bought, borrowed or used a black bridle with a flash attachment, so this was a first for both me and my horse. While I do think he looks quite handsome in the bridle, I had mixed feelings on the Horze Novara Bridle. Instead of…
I think a staple in every horse owner’s tack trunk is a good nylon halter. They’re durable, easy to clean and a good one will last forever. As nylon halters go, I look for something that fits well, is durable and can adjust to my horse’s face. This padded Nylon halter from Horze does all of these things! Let’s be honest – this is a nylon halter. It’s not reinventing the wheel or changing the course the universe – it’s…
Before I review today’s stirrups, let me give you a little stirrup history (I know you are dying to hear it). In the early 2000’s, I got a pair of Herm Sprenger flex stirrups. I rode in them until 2012, swore by them even, and then decided that my leg felt more secure in regular irons. I switched to $30 irons, and said death to gadgets! Gadgets bad! Special stirrups bad! Blah blah tradition fox hunting George Morris blah blah…
I love horse boots of all kinds, and that definitely includes bell boots. Though Simon isn’t terrible about holding shoes, he will occasionally reach too far and step out of his front shoe. When we’re in sporty sport horse mode, bell boots are a constant part of our tack routine. So you can imagine I was excited to try these No Turn Bell Boots from Horze! Though I’m no stranger to bell boots, these were new to me in a…
Horze recently asked me to review some products, which made me super happy because I’m still on a indefinite spending freeze and there have been no new shiny things to play with. Thanks Horze! That being said, these are all still my opinions on the products – first up, riding gloves! Traditionally, I’m not a glove person. Give me the option and I will go gloveless for schooling and show. I traditionally hate how bulky gloves make my hands feel, but…
