Like many other people that own horses, I have tried out a
lot of different products throughout my time of owning my own horses. There
have been great finds, but also many returns or money spent to find the right
one that works best As you grow as a horse owner and a improve in your riding
skills, you will become wiser on what works best for you and your horse when it
comes to the products that help with day to day life and riding. I have tried
multiple brands and types of similar products and I hope to share with you the
kinds that worked best for me and I have had great success with over the years.
The first item that I would like to mention that I have
fallen in love with for my horse. They are leg wraps by the well-known brand,
Professional's Choice. The kind that I purchased for my horses several years
ago from the Illinois Horse Fair were the VenTech™ Elite Value Pack, which is a
pack that Includes two front and two rear boots. Unlike some other boots that
you can purchase that only have limited protection around the leg, this b lets
you give your horse all-around protection from sports medicine boots at a
substantial savings. What makes this product unique from some others, and in my
opinion better than a lot of products out there in the market, is that the boots
are made of limestone-based neoprene that won't crack or crumble and returns to
its shape even after thousands of uses and years of constant wear. This aspect
of the product alone is a major benefit with a product like this that you want
to last for years to come. Depending on what pack you get, whether it includes
two boots or all four, will obviously change the price you pay for this
product. They also have variations on the features included in each style. Some
boots have better water and sweat resistance, which can help keep your horse
from chafing and sweating too much while doing endurance events for a long period
of time. For example, another type of
boot that they offer is their Professional's Choice Sports Medicine Boots II.
It doesn’t matter what discipline you are riding in, these boots will give your
horse the support it needs without restricting its movement or creating a risk
of dependency. This boot, along with a lot of their products, are also made of limestone-based
neoprene, which in my opinion is a great reason to purchase them. This style of
boots, unlike some others that are available come with the feature that is a
signature for this brand, which is the UltraShock™ lining. This lining prevents
the horse from feeling any intense impact or strain by making the boot shock
protectant. I paid around eighty dollars
for the pack of four boots that I had purchased from the fair, but these prices
vary by the retailer and style of boot that you are going to be getting. I didn’t
notice until after the fact that I could have gotten the same boots somewhere
else for at least ten dollars cheaper than what they marked it up for. Overall,
I think this is a great purchase and worth the investment if you want to keep
your horse safe and comfortable for years to come. I highly recommend it. Here is the link to the companies sight so you can see all of their products, http://profchoice.com/. I will always give you the direct link to the boots that I purchase, http://profchoice.com/i-7261565-smb-3-value-4-pack.html.
My second product that I would like mention and tell all of
you more about is the show shirts from Hobby Horse. Some of you may have heard
of this brand or know of a brand like them. For those of you that have no idea
what I am talking about I will explain who they are, what they sell, and My experience
and opinion about what I have gotten from there in the past. Hobby Horse is a
mostly online based company that is known for their style of western show
shirts. They also sell other items such as western and English tack, horse
blanket, bridles of many disciplines, bits, show pants, and other horse and
riding accessories. Although there main focus and market is for Western riding
that want to show their horses, Hobby Horse also sells some English tack and apparel.
English requires far less variation in styles and colors, so there isn’t as
much of a market for them. I used to get monthly catalogs from them that would
show their latest styles and give advice on what colors will best work with
your horse to add a professional look for you and your horse in the show ring.
A few years ago, I was in need of a new show shirt for an upcoming show I had.
I was riding a chestnut brown horse for that show and wanted a show shirt that
was sparkly and colorful. I found the perfect one in a catalog I got from Hobby
Horse a few weeks prior. It was a mixture of blues and blacks with glitter and
rhinestones all over. It was perfect for what I was wanting. The sizing was
true to what was labeled and it seems like it was made very well with good
fabric. It didn’t take long for the shirt to be shipped to me, which I loved
because of how quickly I needed it for my show. I still have it to this day and
I wear it whenever I have a western show. I would strongly recommend this
product and Brand to all of my friends who want to get in the show ring and
need some apparel that will sure to get them some attention from the judges. I
have had some great luck with this company and I’m sure you will too with your
future purchases. Here is the link to their website, https://hobbyhorseinc.com/. Here is the link to a shirt that looks like the one I got so you can have an idea of what they have available, https://hobbyhorseinc.com/rider-apparel/tops/womens-jackets-tunics/ravyn-jacket
I hope I was able to help all of you make a decision when
you are thinking about purchasing a products from either of these brands or
just the products I mentioned. They are both credible companies and I would
recommend them to anyone.
