DIY projects for barn, tack room and even your home
Bring On the Summer! I, for one, am beyond excited for summertime! Summer brings warm weather, long rides, lots of outside barn time, and unfortunately, flies. These pests are more than just an annoyance. They can cause significant discomfort and even health issues for horses. Choosing the right fly spray is essential to keep your …
Holy cow I have not been active on my blog for quite some time now. Sorry about that. I kept thinking about things I wanted to write about, and share, but something else kept coming up and I continued to put off adding new blog posts. And then I ended up having foot surgery. And …
Scratchy Stick Review I was given the opportunity to share something incredible with all of you. It’s called the scratchy stick, and it is an awesome, and affordable tool for you and your horse! A little over 2 years ago, a really incredible equestrian reached out to me and we started talking all things YouTube. …
Since I have been riding a lot and working with both of my horses pretty much daily, I have really put my breeches, bonnets, saddle pads and saddles to the test. And some other things too that are definitely worth mentioning. Don’t you love when you find something that works soooo great, that you share …
It’s been over a month that I have had my new wide stirrup leathers from Total Saddle Fit and I am absolutely loving them. If you haven’t heard of wide stirrup leathers, you should really read my review of them. They are fantastic! But I wasn’t loving the stirrups I had to go with them …
Finding Wide Stirrup Leathers I am in love with wide stirrup leathers. I was first introduced to them last year during a riding lesson. And I was so in awe of them that I bought 2 pair from the only place I could find them. But I was a little disappointed when I got them …

The Heart To Horse Box For November Well, I know it is now December, but I have been meaning to get this out since November. And there were some really nice things included in the box so I really wanted to share it with you. If you have never heard of the Heart To Horse …
I Bought My Horse Underwear! Yes, it is true. I bought underwear for my horse. But it’s probably not the kind of underwear you are picturing in your head right now. My horse Ethan has a pretty wimpy winter coat, even though he has lived in Colorado almost his entire life. I think it is …
Time For New Blankets? The last snow we had about 10 days ago was not our typical fall snow. It was heavy, and full of moisture. I had blanketed both of my horses in anticipation of the snow, and the blankets were saturated. You see while my horses have a stall (sort of) they prefer …
Shopping For Horse Stuff I love shopping for horse things. And finding a deal is even better. Which is what I wanted to share with you today. You see I got a postcard in the mail from Dover Saddlery, and it had an offer on it that I could not resist. If you spent $100, …
If you have followed my blog for any amount of time, you know I love DIY projects. Especially when it comes to making things for my tack room. And every winter, I bring all of my tack inside my home, to protect the leather from the freezing temperatures that come every year. And this seems …
