As if my breeches, funky socks, and Sperrys obsession isn’t bad enough, Noble Outfitters was kind enough to send me a few of their products to try out; the first of those being their Over the Calf Peddies! I have heard about these for a while and even borrowed a pair from a friend to wear and loved them, but I had never purchased a pair because god knows I don’t need anymore socks. Well I was wrong because I do, I do need more socks and I need THESE socks only. I received the Women’s Over the Calf Peddies in the Modern Roses print and I had to wait a few weeks to wear these beauties until it was warm enough to not wear wool socks, but when it was finally warmer I pulled them on right away.Continue reading “Product Review: Noble Outfitters Over the Calf Peddies”
Transformation: 2014-2015
Last year I wrote a Transformation Tuesday post about how far Ax had come from when I began leasing him to them. Now, a year later, I am doing it all over again. This Saturday will mark the two year anniversary of the beginning of my lease on Axcent and I can’t believe it has gone by so fast.Continue reading “Transformation: 2014-2015”
Product Review: The Herbal Horse USA Heal Quick
In the recent years I have been much more aware of what I am purchasing when buying products for the horses as well as myself. I have never been one to purposely shop organic nor have I searched ingredients lists, but I do strive to use more natural concoctions as opposed to those that are full of chemicals. So when I found The Herbal Horse USA on social media, I thought that it was something that I would be interested in. All of Helen and THH’s products are “organic, 100% pure grooming and care products for horses, dogs & people” and are handmade with quality ingredients and essential oils, who wouldn’t want that on their horse?!Continue reading “Product Review: The Herbal Horse USA Heal Quick”
Adjustability and Softness: Dee Dee Hopper Clinic
To say that I am easy to teach would be a lie. I always like a second opinion on my horse, but I have also been incredibly picky about who that opinion comes from and I have been this way ever since I was just learning how to ride. I remember being around ten and having to take a lesson from another instructor because mine was on vacation and riding past my mom in the viewing room just to roll my eyes or make a face. So when I like an instructor you know it is the real deal.Continue reading “Adjustability and Softness: Dee Dee Hopper Clinic”
Show Backpack Essentials: IHSA Edition
I never used one of those extra-expensive “helmet backpacks” for horse shows until I became captain of my college’s IHSA team. I didn’t ever feel like I needed an extra bag of stuff to carry around with me. Flash forward to now and I can’t go anywhere at the show without it. So, in honor of officially finishing my IHSA career, I decided to channel my inner guru and go over what is in my horse show backpack for intercollegiate shows!Continue reading “Show Backpack Essentials: IHSA Edition”
