Regardless of why, Eli sprouted an extra fluffy (for him) winter coat this year. Very inconvenient, especially in Texas. I had not ever body clipped him and the entire time I have known the horse, he has not been body clipped. While Eli's ground manners have improved over the years by leaps and bounds, he … Continue reading Wahl KM10 Clippers Review

Trauma Void Helmet Review
I have been wearing a GPA First Lady to ride in for about 4 years. I have liked the fit and style, and of course the incredible ventilation. But the current recommendation is to replace helmets every 3-5 years, considering especially whether the helmet has been exposed to extreme temperatures. I suspect we have extreme … Continue reading Trauma Void Helmet Review
Tailored Sportsman IceFil Zip Top Review
Somehow, I have yet to review a sun shirt on the pages of this blog. I wear them frequently because I live in Texas. I have gravitated toward both EIS and Kastel, and think they are both excellent options. And then I bought a Tailored Sportsman sun shirt. (I know some people have serious reservations … Continue reading Tailored Sportsman IceFil Zip Top Review
The Asmar Crocodile Belt Purse: Unexpected Benefit
Most equestrians like to keep their phones on them while riding, and there are a lot of ways to do that, some more desirable that others. I pretty much stuffed my phone in my breeches' pocket, a super not secure place for it. Sitting trot? Bye, phone. Half the time I'd stop and stick my … Continue reading The Asmar Crocodile Belt Purse: Unexpected Benefit
Weenie Wednesday: Conrad’s Summer Picks
Considering I've posted about summer horse care before, maybe it's time for a little summer dog care? Or summer care for a little dog? First things first: don't walk your dog when it's hot out, and don't leave your dog in the car! Now that's out of the way, Conrad wants to share a few things … Continue reading Weenie Wednesday: Conrad’s Summer Picks
Botori Riding Pants Review
I don't wear riding tights or leggings -- I never have, even as a kid. It's always been jeans or breeches. (French saddles pretty much got everyone out of jeans and into breeches.) Maybe that's still true since these are called "pants"? I picked up on the Botori equestrian brand via Instagram, like many people. … Continue reading Botori Riding Pants Review
GHM Add Back Breeches Review
I got a few pairs of the GHM Add Back breeches for my birthday back in May, and I am loving them for summer riding. Style: First, the styling of these breeches is in keeping with current trends in breeches design -- things we've come to expect now such as smooth sock bottoms, a wide … Continue reading GHM Add Back Breeches Review
Weenie Wednesday: Aussie Pet Mobile Grooming
Conrad had an appointment last Wednesday with Aussie Pet Mobile North Austin for a bath and nail trim. I decided to try this, to see if it would be less stressful for Conrad than either me trying to trim his nails or taking him to Petsmart for a nail trim (both of which are also stressful … Continue reading Weenie Wednesday: Aussie Pet Mobile Grooming
Weenie Wednesday: Pampeano Dog Collar Review
Conrad got a new collar! Country and Stable has a great selection of dog collars (and matching belts, too), so I picked out the Pampeano Tornado Collar for him, in size XS. The collar runs true to size, and fits Conrad perfectly. The leather is supple and the woven design looks so good on him -- … Continue reading Weenie Wednesday: Pampeano Dog Collar Review
Le Mieux Teknique Fetlock Stud Boots Review
I mentioned last week that I have been looking for solutions for Eli's hind interference. Other than the pastern wraps that are on the way, I think I may have found a good one! I looked at Country and Stable's selection of tendon and fetlock boots -- they have an excellent selection of well-known, popular … Continue reading Le Mieux Teknique Fetlock Stud Boots Review
