I realized recently that a long time ago, I posted an overview for one of The Saddle Club movies. I was full of promises for more, and then I never did another one. I know this must have devastated everyone, so it's time to revisit that glorious time of our lives when we lived vicariously through t[...]
Many non-horse people look at a horse and just say "yup, that's a horse, with a "bridal."" There's definitely a lot of confusion in the non-horse world about how a bridle works, as evidenced by the appalling kids toys that show up in my house. But even in the horse world, there's SO MANY diff[...]
When I was kid, I didn't have a horse. Sometimes I didn't even have lessons. But I did have books - I had tons of books. I had books on horse care, books on riding and books filled with stories of horses. Some days all I would do is just read my books. Books allow you to escape to another worl[...]
I was first aware of Wintec saddles when I was a kid. I remember seeing their full page ad in Horse Illustrated - a brightly lit crisp, black Friesian, a happy rider, and that black synthetic saddle. They were so modern. Not at all like the old leather saddles at my lesson barn. Some had been used[...]
I'll be upfront and say I've always been a fan of Equine Couture because their products are so pretty and fashion forward. I already own a few of their saddle pads and apparel. Breeches.com sent me the Equine Couture Satin All Purpose Saddle Pad to review. I received the plum color, which now[...]
As part of my partnership with Breeches.com, I was sent the TuffRider Tatum Tights. The tights retail for $53.95, are available in charcoal/black and wine/black, and come in sizes XS - XL. These tights are very lightweight. When I first pulled them out, I thought they might be too lightweig[...]
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 to go back to the[...]
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 to one of them[...]
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 lo[...]
