Take a stroll through the walking paths or barn aisles of a horse show facility and you will no doubt see a plethora of colors and patterns in about every major equestrian brand that makes a sunshirt.

Horseback riding sun blocking base layers can be crafted from diffe ..read more

Raise your hand if your last text was to a horse friend or was about something horse related. Raise it twice if you know the answer to this without even checking your text messages or snap! Every horse girl has done it. Talked endlessly about her horse, the horse she wants to buy, the horse she had as a child, the barn she boards at, the barn she dreams of...do I need to continue? Some like to call being an equestrian a sport, some call it a hobby and some (mainly boyfriends or husbands) call it an obsession. I like to call my love of horseback riding my hobby-sport.

What's betrayal? When you walk into the pasture to catch your horse and it runs the other direction. As a kid I had the most trustworthy, same horse ridden daily or monthly. Just that once in a lifetime heart-horse. He was a retired cutting horse that had paid his dues and put in his time. Thankfully the cowboy who retired him wanted what was best for him and sought out a retirement home. My dad recently purchased our farm, and while we had horses in the past, we currently didn't have any. This gentleman paid my dad a small pasture board fee.  Well, as tends to be the equestrian way, we e ..read more

As we look at life and what we will do over the next 6 to 8 weeks, let's refocus. Sometimes life, God, sends us something that at the time seems to be too much to handle, but in actuality it is just what we need. Time to refocus. Life is fast, sometimes hard, stressful, but full of so many blessings and beauty. Let us look at those and refocus. We now have the gift of time. Time to spend with the ones you love, or to not rush off the phone. We can sit around the dinner table and talk...TALK. Or find a quiet spot in the house and make a phone call without feeling the need to quickly get off and ..read more

Great news! The love for leopard print in fashion is not going anywhere, anytime soon! From the runways of Paris to the pages of Vogue - leopard print is alive (well, ok not alive) and well...very well! Vogue was quoted as saying “When all else fails, go with an animal print”. We say, no matter what the day will bring, go with animal print - leopard in particular.  Why leopard? Because it never really slinks out of fashion. Why? Because it's a statement maker whether you're pairing it with distressed denim for a casual day of errands, or to up the ante of those faux leather leggings you'll r ..read more
