If you’re looking for cool summer tights, these are perfect. They are so comfortable, and so breezy (when not wearing half chaps). The stickiness is great for riding, but it would be hard to multipurpose these as gym tights. Be aware of their stretch and size down. If you feel like being nice, use my […]
In an attempt to upgrade my ground work with Stu, I bought a rope halter. I’ve seen friends use them for years, and finally, after hearing that my farrier always keeps one in his truck, I decided it was time. Stu has had a habit of ignoring my requests to move over, or he’ll want […]
I mentioned the other day that a new horse movie has been released, the sequel to a movie I posted about many years ago. Well, as one of the benefits of being “media” (yes, that’s me), I got a screener of it. Next time, start a horse blog, review horse movies, hope for a sequel […]
International Velvet is the sequel to National Velvet, an adorable old film about a girl who races her horse in the Grand National. I loved National Velvet – part of that is nostalgia to watching it as a kid, and part of it is that it’s just a good movie! After recently re-watching National Velvet […]
Originally I was planning on reviewing this movie like I’ve reviewed horse movies in the past – basically, pointing out all the absurd plot points and inaccurate horse information. But, this is actually a good movie, and I just can’t. I first saw this movie as a kid, and I loved it then. I loved […]
With a new movie coming, Dream Alliance is being thrust into the spotlight again. A horse, bred and raised in a former mining village in Wales, owned by working class owners, ended up winning the Welsh Grand National, and competing in some of the greatest steeplechases in the world. It was one of the most […]
I’m a big fan of internet learning. In this day and age, it is possible to learn about nearly anything on the internet, and video seems to be the number one format. From YouTube to LinkedIn Learning, knowledge has never been so accessable. Even top colleges now have online courses, and sometimes even complete programs […]
As a nature lover, I believe we have an obligation to take the best care possible of our world. I don’t mean this as a political thing, or a debate about climate change. I just love the natural beauty of the world, and I hate seeing it marred by trash and litter. A lot of […]
I will start by saying I’m not a fan of the traditional selfie style photo. The one where you just stretch your arm out with the front facing camera open, and snap the photo. Major dislike. Especially dislike when I see the same person posting basically the exact same selfie photo over, and over, and […]
I love helmet cam footage. My current favorite to watch are hunter paces. There’s great scenery, the horse is going fast, but not fast enough to fall like in fox hunting (usually anyway.) There should be more helmet cam footage out there! I need more to watch! Therefore, I am encouraging everyone to go buy […]
