I’ll be honest. I had preconceived notions about the “circuit kids.” You know the ones. The young riders that horse kids follow on social media. The ones who bounce from fancy horse show to fancy horse show with strings of beautiful horses, custom jackets, and lives that seem to revolve entirely around the next big…
You did it! You survived the brutal cold just in time to usher in the balmy spring and summer. The daffodils and tulips are peeking out, little beacons of hope. The grass is green and abundant, just waiting for your horse to munch it down… But wait! Let’s not forget about the stifling humidity, driving…

Dear Moms, Fair warning: horses are going to steal your kid’s heart. Buckle up, buttercup—you’re in for a wild ride. Which is exactly why I wish I’d had a mentor back when my oldest first fell for horses. Someone who’d spill the deets or hand me a playbook for navigating horse-crazy life with my kid.…
She’s off the trunk before I come around the corner, a flurry of scraping nails and excited whimpers. Maybe it was the familiar cadence of the horse’s hooves on pavement. Maybe she caught a scent on the breeze. Up until this moment, she’s been motionless. Immune to the sweeping of brooms or the tacking up…

If you’ve ever met Israeli show jumper Ashlee Bond, or watched one of her interviews, the first thing you’ll note is her high-energy spunk. A pink streak running through her hair, she’s been on fire along the Major League Show Jumping Tour this year with the leading Team Helios. In August, Bond jumped over to…

If I learned anything about myself during this past year of the COVID lockdown, it’s that I really do love to entertain (and boy, did I miss it!). For my next dinner party, my table will be set with these fantastic wine glasses from Kelley and Company. There are four varieties of etched equestrian motifs:…
Men ride horses too! Sometimes it’s easy to forget, what with 15% minority they’re believed to make up of the equestrian market and the volume of women’s wear posts we do here. But it’s a fact. And men too deserve an amazing equestrian wardrobe. This week, in celebration of Father’s Day, we are here to…
You’ve got your burgers, hot dogs, and White Claws ready to go for Memorial Day. But have you shopped the biggest Equishopper sale of the year yet? There are hundreds of items up to 75% off and new deals daily until Monday May 31st! Here are a few of my “must have” items that are…
While I wish all my days were spent riding horses through fields of flowers or jumping from horse show to horse show, for better or worse, much of my time is spent simply working in the barn. I feed, muck, scrub water buckets, stack hay bales…all the glamorous parts of horse ownership. So what do…
We are getting dangerously close to fly season. (Related: did anyone else read about the cicada bloom that’s happening this year?! No thanks.) I’m a planner. I like to make sure I have my fly control arsenal stockpiled for the upcoming season well in advance, so now is when I am buying fly sheets, fly…
As our team gears up to get back on the show circuit after a COVID break, I’m training and riding more than ever. Silly or not, nothing motivates me more than a new wardrobe. (That’s why I am also buying a lot of workout clothing…but I digress.) For at-home schooling days, I’m lusting after these…
