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

Extrapolation: Using Equilab

I have been trying out the Equilab app, mainly because it's free, so why not? It is also fairly easy to use, although data from my first attempt at using it should probably just be deleted because I did not enter in rider and horse weight accurately -- it was set on kilograms and I … Continue reading Extrapolation: Using Equilab
