Before my last show, I found myself in a little bit of a pinch with my show shirt. Pinch is a literal term here, because it was perhaps pinching at the buttons… as in it was too small. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money and I wanted a “fun” color, so I turned to The Collection Online Store after reading some positive reviews on Chronicle and seeing good prices. I picked out the Ocala Ladies Show Shirt in…
Nicku from The Polka Dot Periodical is having a contest! If you don’t read this blog, check it out if you are an Appaloosa lover, an eventing enthusiast, or enjoy reading well written blogs by positive minded people! She’s calling for people to submit their favorite product under $50, so here’s my list! KL Select Fly Veils I have sang their praises before, but at $25.95 online with TONS of color combinations and exceptional quality… there’s no reason why someone…
I bit the bullet and got myself a pair of tall boots that retail for over $200. I know, my budget is shocking with most people getting tall boots retailing for a lot more… but I’m poor. Also, as previously discussed I have a stupid wide calf and I kind of hate tall boots in every imaginable way. Join me in my campaign to have half chaps acceptable in the hunters everyone! No? Okay, fine. I’ll tell you about the…
Full disclaimer first – I worked at SmartPak while they were developing SmartSlim. Of course, I had absolutely 0 to do with the development of the product (the person who did is really, really awesome by the way) and didn’t do any original product testing or anything like that. I’ve just known about SmartSlim for a long, long time. So it’s surprising that it took me over 5 years to try one. When it was first a thing, I wasn’t…
Today’s mood board is created solely with Viva Carlos in mind. She has a love for Antares, so adopted navy and silver (Antares’ colors) as her personal colors. That being said, we are not featuring any Antares products today (even though they are oh so beautiful!), but you can get the same color scheme on a budget with some of today’s products! Navy is a classic equestrian color, and in my opinion the silver gives it some pizzazz with a…
Time for another edition of the the Barn Colors mood board! This week I am featuring products that include black, silver and/or white. These colors are very classy without being in your face neon (although hey, some horses can pull off the neon!) and can be found in the hunter/jumper, dressage AND eventing circles. As for what color horses look good in these colors, I’d have to say almost all of them! Grays especially look very classy with a black/silver…
If you board or train at a decent sized barn, chances are they have official barn colors… or even if you don’t, chances are you have colors for your horse! I have always been a big ‘barn colors’ kind of person. Elvis and I were red white and blue for a while, then navy and white before I adopted Freedom Run‘s colors of Navy, Burgundy and Silver. At my new barn, the colors are burgundy and gray and it seems…
Things I enjoy in life: riding my horse, diet coke, cool spring breeze, fancy stitch tack. Things I don’t enjoy in life: humidity, extreme dust, Friday afternoon meetings, bad drivers, and FLIES!!! To help troubleshoot the flies issue, Absorbine sent me three of their UltraShield fly sprays to review – UltraShield Sport, UltraShield Sport Continuous Spray (Aerosol), and UltraShield Red. I’ve been using these three products for about a month now, and have gathered my thoughts for you dear readers who may dislike…
