Pview, sigh, relief........


We've been working incredibly hard over the past couple of months, with tension, stress and then a HUGE sigh of relief! The new website is LIVE. Thanks to all the wonderful people at Zoovy.


To celebrate the relaunch, we'll be doing some great deals over the next week. Today, ending midnight EST the
Horka Quilted Coat/Vest is only going to be $65.00! Personally, I LOVE the zip off sleeves, and this model has been going vast from our mobile unit as well. It is definitely that must-see coat, and the dirt resistant coating, yeah, I've needed that :). And machine wash, line dry!

You are cordially invited to take a look around @ our new
website and tell us what you think!

Sweet itch, flies, musquito's and the horse


Oy, sometimes I feel so sorry for one of our horses! It seems like the bugs just prefer him over any of the other horses around. On top of that he has sweet itch. The problems is that the bugs that cause sweet itch are tiny and easily penetrate the standard and sturdy flysheets. In order for a fly sheet to prevent or minimize the exposure to Culicoides the sheet has to be fine. That is why I love this fly sheet from Harry's Horse; it is very fine with a reflective color, so the sun does heat up the horse. It attaches to the halter up top, I've also attached it to a fly mask. The tail flap is long, just where they scratch the most. I know my horse is a lot happier with this sheet then he has been in a long time!

Mountain Horse Supreme Field Boot


O lala..... just opened the Mountain Horse Supreme Field Boot! The quality of the leather is just absolutely FABULOUS! I immediately had to do the touch and feel. These boots will conform your leg nicely, and for the price they are a steal, great boots for horse showing, too beautiful to school, you'll love them!

Show breeches for the curvaceous equestrienne

Done, I did it, finished! I have added the full seat horse show plus size horse show breeches. So if you are a plus size womanly rider and are looking for those fantastic breeches, here they are! These breeches are made with spandex, so forgiving of a few flaws, not that any of us have any of course, but for the rest of us. The material is really like the sweat pants under breeches, yet of a quality that one can expect of an upscale brand like Horka.

the curveous, womanly-sized, beautiful rider

There is a great blog on the Chronicle about fashion for the curvaceous female rider. I was disappointed to see that there was no mention about Horka, and the great clothing they have for the curved equestrienne.

Finding a nice quality of pants like the Plus size Knee Patch or the Plus Size Full Seat breeches is not easy, and many of the more upscale brands are not willing to dive into that market.

Walleroo sun hat Sophia for kids

So incredibly cute! Personally I love the walleroo hats, and I think they are really stylish, and because they fold and are washable, they are perhaps, THE most essential horse show accessory, especially if you are showing in this incredible heat. You want to make sure you are protected against the sun.

The walleroo 'Sophia' is super cute with the fairy on it. Girls will love them, it will keep them cool, and protect against the sun.

Basic Horse riding packages......

Got a great question from a customer this morning. Do you have any basic riding sets? For a young child to start out? Sure do! The very basic thing to have to start riding is of course a horse riding helmet but don't forget about other like breeches or riding pants, or a cute set of gloves and half chaps! We have plenty for the young rider to start out!
