DIY projects and horse tack reviews for horse owners
Ok, I know, I have just one more post in my series of Going to Your First Horse Show. But I was just so excited to share this with you, that I had to write it, and put it out there! And this is something I have been trying to get done for a while …
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 …
A few months ago, I participated in Noelle Floyd’s Master Your Mindset challenge. And I have to tell you, it totally changed my perspective to working with Plezant. This one Masterclass helped me to really be more confident with him, as well as validate my own abilities. If you are having confidence issues, I would …
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. …
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year Well it’s that time of year again. Probably one of the most exciting times of year for us equestrians, it’s shedding season!!!! I get very excited this time of year. The days are starting to get longer, and a little warmer, and I am beginning to see …
Ok, I need to preface this by letting you all know I bought these with a gift card I got for Christmas. So with one slight falter, I am still doing pretty well with my No Buy Year. However, I saw these brushes, and I was like “Oh yes, they will be mine…” And I …
I have never made a blog post like this before. And some of you may love Black Friday Deals, while others are like Meh, whatever. But how about a list compiled with strictly Black Friday for Equestrians? Yes please! I love hunting for great deals, and I decided to search out as many equestrian sites …
A couple of months ago, I told you about my quest to find this book. And let me tell you, it was no easy task. First I tried to find it online, and that offered very limited results. I then remembered that I had seen the book at Dover Saddlery. And while I had thought …
About year ago I subscribed to Boxy Charm for awhile. And once I had enough makeup for what seemed a long time, I stopped my subscription. But then I heard about a new offering they had, it’s called Boxy Luxe, and I decided to give it a try. Boxy Luxe Subscription Box I was curious …
Well August has come and gone, which makes me sad. The days are starting to get a little bit shorter, and in the morning the air is crisp. Fall is coming. And honestly, I love fall. The temperature is typically perfect for riding, and I try and squeeze in as much riding as I can …
A few weeks back, Lynda and I went to a Thursday horse show at the horse park. We were both off from work, and thought it would be fun to go watch an open stake class. It wasn’t as big as the Grand Prix class, and there were more riders. It was pretty awesome. And …
A shiny coat is one way to know that you have a healthy horse. And there are a lot of different supplements that claim to improve your horses coat. But I think I have truly found the best coat and hoof supplement for your horse. At one time I was going to write this post, …
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 …
I love being able to give my horses treats. And while there are some who disagree with feeding treats to their horses, I am one of ‘those’ horse owner’s who likes to give my horses a treat from time to time. Sometimes I make my own treats, and sometimes I buy them.But one thing I …
Planning For The Show Season Is it too early to start planning for the 2019 horse show season? I think right now is the perfect time to start planning! Instead of waiting until the last minute and spending money that you don’t need to for the show is the main goal for planning for show …
Last Minute Christmas Stocking Stuffers Well here we are in the last few days before Christmas is here! And thankfully, there is still time to find those special little gifts to fill a stocking. And if you are needing some ideas of what to get your favorite equestrian, I thought I would help you out …
Clothing To Keep You Warm When Working With Your Horse Well we are not even officially at the first day of winter, and already I am daydreaming about the spring and summer time. But dreaming about the nicer weather won’t make it arrive any faster, and I still need to ride, and work with my …
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 …
Colliers Rip It Patch It Kit I think I have shared with you how destructive my horse Frisby is with his blankets and sheets. In fact, I have a sheet that Frisby wore one time, yes ONE TIME, and he destroyed it. And in case you were wondering what type of sheet this was, it …
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, …
It’s Stitch Fix Time! This has been a busy week. Last weekend I got the fabulous idea I should do a “Clean With Me” video for my YouTube channel. And while it was fun, it was a lot of work. 2 days of filing, and 5 days of editing and fighting with my computer to …
Budget Friendly Gifts For Horse Lovers Well it’s that time of year again, the time when we are on the hunt for the perfect gift for our favorite equestrians. And I thought it might be helpful if you have a horse lover in your family that you are searching for a gift idea. So I …
