How could something so small generate the worthiness of writing a blog post about it?

As promised, but a bit delayed, as you can see by the title of this blog post, this is the helmet I chose! This is my formal and official IRH Equi-Pro SV Wide Sun Brim Riding Helmet review! In my last blog post, I shared some different riding helmets with you from Riding Warehouse. And …
So many helmets to choose from! Well I am sad to say that my Fancy-Schmancy riding helmet has just had it’s third birthday. Which means it’s time for me to replace it. I’m kind of sad about that. Because it has served me very well. However, it wasn’t cheap. And this time I’m not looking …
Have you seen the videos on Facebook with the grey horse that is dirty, they use the Sport Horse Essentials Waterless shampoo on the horse, and the dirty horse is now gorgeous? I have been watching that video for over a year now, and I finally gave in, and bought the product. I had to …
Introducing Corro About 9 months ago, I was reading a blog post about what, I can’t remember. And I can’t even remember where I was reading it. But what I do remember is that was the first time I was introduced to Corro, or Corro Shop. And the blog I was reading was talking about …

Let’s Try Dressage! In my horse’s former life, at one time he was a dressage horse. And not your every day backyard show pony dressage horse, he was a 4th level show horse. Meaning he was showing at 4th level dressage. He has a resume in the dressage world longer than any horse I could …
A few weeks ago, I shared a video of how I turned a Husky Tool Box into a massive First Aid Station. And while I was editing the video, I thought about talking about all of the things I have in said first aid kit. But if I did that, my video would have been …
The last 6 weeks have been pretty much a whirlwind for me. I have been riding Plezant more, which take a lot of time. Frisby was recently diagnosed with PPID (Fancy name for Cushings) which means changing everything I am feeding him, and September at work is extremely busy. Probably the busiest month of the …

When it comes to horse brushes, and well everything really, you would think that the more expensive brushes would be better right? Well, I have found out that isn’t always the case. I have bought soooo many horse brushes over the years that I might be able to consider myself a horse brush expert. Well, …
Do you ever look for horse related items on Amazon? I do. Every time I find something I want to buy, I always look to see if they have it on Amazon. Because I mean, I have Amazon Prime, and I am all about getting my stuff fast. Which I typically do with Amazon, but …
About a month ago, I found a really cool t-shirt while I was surfing through Instagram. And when I saw the shirt I was like, oh yes, you will be mine. It was just so cute! Isn’t it cute?!?!?! Can you see why I wanted it? It’s made by a company called Halter Equestrian Apparel. …
Just because there is a global pandemic happening right now, doesn’t mean the flies are paying attention to the stay home order. Or maybe they feel that our barns and horse’s stalls are their home, so maybe they are? But regardless of world events, right now fly season is starting to get underway. Which means …
I have found my new favorite matchy-matchy set for Plezant. And I am super excited, because it fits in to my color scheme in my barn. I know, priorities right?
I have been on the hunt for a pair of denim breeches ever since I bought the horrible so called denim breeches online way back in February. And I saw the Piper denim breeches and thought maybe these would be good to try. I don’t think I wrote about it here, or told you about …
