Shampoos, fly sprays, wipes, brushes, you name it!
I love this brand so much. It smells great, and it doesn't have any harmful chemicals. This new shampoo is basically an all in one, which is perfect for quick baths, or when you're trying to do a lot with an antsy horse (like mine.)
Splash. An Intensifying Shampoo
My horse has a super gorgeous tail, and I am always looking for a good way to maintain it without increasing hair breakage. This smells AMAZING and it really conditioned it so nicely. It was easy to brush through her tail, and it's stayed tangle free...
UNTANGLED @ The Paddock - GLISTEN SPRAY
Weird label? Yep! Easy name to remember? Yep! If your horse is prone to getting any sort of scuzz, fungus, rain rot, scabs and crusties, you NEED this in your tack trunk. It's a miracle worker and a work horse. It doesn't take much to help clear up c...
That Blue Stuff
I love Muzzle Butter! I've debated using it on myself. A nice little swipe across the nose and you can see a wound up horse visibly relax. Plus, again, it's made of show legal stuff. So tuck it into your ring bag.
Muzzle Butter: At-Ease | AHLERI
Made in America, and designed for horses with feet issues (which is so many of them and apparently all of mine.) This is perfect for sore feet, thrush, abscesses, white line disease, cracked heels and more. And it's easy to use. It won't freeze up on...
Pure Sole Hoof Mud
Tack
Bridles, halters, etc!
Full disclosure, my friend's a rep for Healthy Leather. That's how I got turned onto it. I'm notoriously Not Great at keeping my tack clean, but you know what restores used and abused tack? This stuff. Highly recommend.
Healthy Leather Premium Leather Care — Healthy Leather
I own two Horse Education Company halters, and I think they're fantastic, AND worth the money. They give me the extra bit of control (I have a young, very excitable horse!) and they look great. The leather is top quality and so is the rope. I used mi...
Classic Leather Hybrid Halter®
If your horse can go without a noseband, you have got to try this bridle. It's designed with the horse's comfort in mind, and it looks gorgeous too. Anatomically correct and visually pleasing.
Freedom Bridle
Everyone has stability leathers now, but these were the originals, and they really hold up. They're very solid, never stretch out or warp, and are high quality french leather. I keep these on my jump saddle.
Original Millbrook Stirrup Leathers from France
not everyone rides in spurs, but if you do, they should be CUTE spur straps. There are many options at Mane Jane but the narwhals really have my heart.
Narwhal Spur Straps
I have a fly bonnet addiction, and if my current horse could wear them, she'd go in this one. This site has tons of options and they're all great quality. I know because I own at least a dozen from this store!
Aqua “am I the drama” fly bonnet
This is my go to. I never ride without it. This super high quality leather neck strap is perfect for grabbing if you're trying to manage a fiesty horse, OR if you're working on your balance and position and don't want to catch your horse in the mouth...
Neck Strap with Saddle Attachment
Treats
Everyone deserves a snack break. Even your horse.
The things my horse will do for these treats…they're *by far* her favorite brand of treats. I think she'd actually pick them over a stud muffin, if you can believe it. They fit easily into my pocket and are show ring safe. When I get on, I pay the mo...
Mint Julep Zero Proof Horse Treats
My horse's other favorite treat? Aunt Angi's. I buy in bulk. And through this link, you can buy from my favorite local tack store. Two small businesses for the price of one! They're adorable muffins without too much sugar but with tiny little themati...
Aunt Angi's Horse Treats
Gifts
I have one for my late horse and one for my current horse, and they're the best things I bought myself. It takes awhile for them to be made but the wait is worth it. The leather softens right up and she is SO good at nailing markings!
Custom Leather Horse Charm
I just got a new phone and the first thing I did was figure out how I could horse girl harder in my regular life. Picked up one of these gorgeous cases and it's perfect. If people didn't know I was a horse girl by the state of my car, they do now. Ma...
Equestrian Phone Cases
I can think of no better trainer gift than a jump cup cup holder. This is perfection.
The Jump Cup Holder
Apparel
It's on sale! Ring the alarm! It's $100 off right now which is just wild because these are super comfortable breeches from a great mom and daughter apparel company. I love green breeches--they're classy without being boring--and this sage color is ju...
Super comfortable "Beyond Breech"
One of the comfiest breeches/tights you'll ever pull on, and from one of my favorite small businesses! These are a must have and they're on sale at the time I'm typing this!
Trews D'Sport Full Seat Riding Tight
Dapplebay is one of my go-to brands for equestrian apparel including socks, shirts, and saddle pads. But they must also know that I have a baseball hat addiction (to cover up the helmet hair) because this hat is an instant favorite.
