A little while back, I was given the opportunity to test and review the June My Horse Box, and blogged about it here! I have been testing and reviewing the products since, and even recorded an unboxing video, however I had technical issues with the GoPro I used to record it and was only able … [Read more…]
Exciting day today! A new package from horsehealth.co.uk with more products to try! Between today’s package, and the equally fabulous package they sent me a few months ago but we never got a chance to properly try out, I have quite a few products to test and review now that Paddy is home and back in work! … [Read more…]
I’ve been looking to buy a pair of reins that are softer than my current pair but with decent grip, and a friend recommended I try Henry James Saddlery. I bought the Bio Grip Hybrid Reins with Leather Stops – they were only £24.99, and with the Euro exchange rate being so good it made it … [Read more…]

I have long been keen on investing in a massage pad or rug of some sort – something to help warm up the muscles prior to riding or competing, or aiding recovery after strenuous exercise. For me good management of the muscles in my horse’s body is critical to preventing injury or strain. There are … [Read more…]
I have been a beauty box subscriber for almost a year now – once a month, receiving a box full of beauty goodies once a month for me to try before I buy, for a small monthly fee. I like these subscription boxes because I find it very hard to make decisions – I get overwhelmed … [Read more…]

I talk a lot about #AmateurRiderProblems – the challenges those of us who work full-time (or any time) and have to try and fit in our job, horses, and some kind of ‘life admin’ in between as well. This is a problem I face on a daily, weekly, monthly basis – trying to fit everything in and … [Read more…]
