I just had to share this... KEEP CALM!

I know, I know... I don't usually post random spam but this is something I had to share! 

I am sure most show and dressage riders can sympathise with this one. I've lost count of how many times I have sat to Ceaser's bucking in the go-round whilst showing and thought "Oh I hope the judge wasn't looking". 

Handy tip: If you're showing and feel your horse is misbehaving in the initial go-round, circle and calm him down whilst the judge isn't looking. Judges will usually always watch just one long side of the arena you are competing in. This gives you another long side to sort out any naughtiness. Everyone does it, so you won't be alone!

Who thinks this would look rather good printed or hoody or something? I might have to speak very kindly to my lovely sponsor, Charles James about doing something like it in his range. 

Smile and wave springs to mind..... Tally Ho!

On the nineteenth day of Christmas my horse gave to me...

On the nineteenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me..


This is another product that is added to my show box and another that I simply couldn't live without. 

The nineteenth product I want to recommend is the Supreme Products Hoof Paint.

In 2011 when I started showing at a more serious level I would spend absolutely ages sitting on the floor (in my show gear) painting black shoe polish onto Ceaser's feet to give them that finishing look. Needless to say, by the end you could guarantee some would have gotten on my lovely canary jodhpurs and it was a pain to get out.

When someone recommended Supreme Products hoof paint to me I was a little sceptical. They said it didn't come off, even in sandy arenas and lasted much longer than just a competition day. So, Ceaser would have black hooves forever? Well, no, not quite. It doesn't work like that. 

The product is a paint-on, shiny hoof oil that gives that finishing look in any show ring. It can either be purchased in black or clear and stays shiny, even in adverse conditions. 

At the time of first trying this product I thought it was quite costly at £11 when I could buy a "normal" hoof oil for just £6! However, hoof oil only lasts for the time it takes you to walk from the lorry to the collecting ring, so if you need something that lasts, this is definitely the product for you!

Not only does it save you re-applying constantly throughout the day, but even though the bottle looks small it goes a long way. Just one of these bottles lasts me a whole show season and I am out competing at least every other weekend from March to October.

Once you return home and want to remove it from your horses hooves, you simply wash them with warm soapy water. I think adding something like this to your show basket completes the picture, whatever sphere you are competing in.

Add this to your Christmas wish-list this year, I definitely would. For more information and to order, visit the Supreme Products website.

On the fourth day of christmas my horse gave to me...

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

I got one of these for my 21st birthday and honestly cannot live without it (or rather Ceaser can't!). It keeps him clean, keeps his plaits in the night before a show and stops his mane from rubbing throughout the winter when you have to keep the necks up of your rugs!

The fourth product I want to recommend on my blog is the Supreme Products all in one Body Wrap. They are expensive at roughly £100 but are absolutely well worth the money. 

Here's what Supreme Products have to say about it and why they feel they are well worth every penny.

"The Supreme Products Body Wrap, made from the finest grade 4 way stretch Lycra Mix, is a superb garment for aiding in preparation by laying the coat, adding condition and shine and keeping plaits intact and pristine. 

This garment can be used whilst travelling and also stabling, in place of duvets, as a lightweight rug. It should be close fitting, but not tight. It has a 12" underbelly strap and leg straps to hold it securely and comfortably."

I have used mine practically everyday since getting it and not only has it saved me lots of time and money but is great for keeping Ceaser clean with him being coloured. I always drag it out of my tack locker the night before a competition. 

It helps keep his plaits in and also makes him look stunning just before he is about to go in the show ring because it lays his coat flat and adds condition. 

I can highly recommend these body wraps to anyone wanting value for money and looking for something that does its job well. 

Not only are the products from Supreme Products made to a very high standard but all of their staff are helpful and very polite. 

You definitely wont regret buying one of these!
