This was the first Marengo box design that wasn’t designed by me since the first box last spring, so it’s fun to see a different design that I haven’t been staring at for moths show up. Ha! I enjoy the box art this time, especially the design on the top and bottom of the box (which is too bad those are basically hidden when the box is in use). When I saw the choic ..read more

Back not too many months ago I was introduced to the author Tudor Robins with Appaloosa Summer (review here). Since that read and review…I’ve read 5 more of her books or short stories (and I’ve started on another). If that’s not a rousing recommendation, I’m not sure what is. But to put it mildly, I enjoy her books.
While I have enjoyed them all so far, none have hit quite like ..read more

So…if you’ve been here long, you know by now I love Nikovian‘s breeches. I have many pairs at this point (6 maybe?) and I wear them all every single wash cycle (except these white ones…and the tan ones). The tan gets used less because they’re knee patch…and I’m a DQ…but they’re still very nice (just aimed at a different part of the sport tha ..read more

So I’m a huge fan of Epona products (and have been for years). I’ve reviewed a few of their other products in the past that are staples in my grooming tote (the Tiger Tongue and the Queen’s Brush). Both of those products got perfect reviews…because I could literally think of nothing bad to say about them…will the new Shed Express fair as well? Well…spoiler alert (you can already see the numerical review above)…yes it is also a perfect score! How ..read more

Espoir means Hope in French…and I will say I had high hopes/expectations of the brand when they reached out to me this winter to try a couple of their shirt styles. Their prints are incredible. I mean…you know I love prints by now. Kastel. Ronner. I’m all about it. So Espoir Equestrian is in a special spot of being one of those hand ..read more

So the story behind this browband is this…every winter I switch browbands to something QUITE a bit more flashy than what I show in. I call it my off season browband…and I do this simply to remind me that horses are supposed to be fun and my horse is a freaking unicorn…so on the tradition goes. It started with a review of a very blingy browband many years ago with Spice. Since then I’ve gotten crazy neon rainbow colors, pu ..read more

Sterling Essentials has been a staple in my tack box for YEARS. It does such an incredible job with getting the gunk off of leather…and man…do I test it. I regularly go weeks without cleaning my boots and they get REALLY mucky…and I literally spray this stuff on…leave it for a minute…spray my sponge and go in and scrub. It takes little effort to remove really baked in dirt. Nothing has ever cleaned my leather better. I ..read more

If you missed my last review you may have missed me jumping on the May Babes Equestrian bandwagon big time. I love Emily’s “why” and “how” she puts behind her products…and the products hold up to everything she’s aiming for and more. Sure…these may look like your standard pull on riding tight…but I assure you they’re not. And because I’ve become a fan-girl…I’m now an ambassador for the brand so I have a c ..read more

Well…I’ve not shared as much of Jax and my journey this year through this blog…so I thought I’d do a bit of a year end wrap up and projection into next year.
Dressage is a funny beast and every single situation, horse and partnership are so very different. As an AA that started late to the dressage game I’ve only had the privilege to work on “dressage” with three horses. And they’ve all been extremely different. It’s been a learning challenge with each and every one…for different reasons. It’s also a different ball game almost every day. My right hip doing what it ..read more

May Babes Equestrian has recently come into my life…and my has the brand charged in full force. I saw them a while back on social media with their built in underwear breeches…which honestly didn’t sound like my thing…but I acquired a couple of shirts recently during a sale and was SO impressed I immediately applied to be an ambassador for her brand. Now the s ..read more
