Horse Halters and More

A Ladies Equestrian Tack

2010-11-10T07:06:30-08:00

I’m not much for horse racing so when a friend came over and made me flip the channel over to some historic jockey race I was hesitant. He explained a female horse was about to have possibly her 20^th win in a row. This was history. For one she was a Mayer and had the equestrian tack to prove it. With a pink show halter and a focused jockey the two marched onto the track and received a huge ovation. She had won 19 races in a row and was favored to win again. Genetically she was a freak. Her heart was larger than normal, her frame covered in muscle and she had a knack for turning on the after burners around the last turn.

The gates opened and she took last place by a lot. I figured it was over before it started but my friend was still confident. It was easy to make out her pink equestrian tack in the crowd as she made a move with less than half the track remaining. 50 yards left and she was a horse length behind first. In a photo finish she lost by a single stride.

Thanks for the New Horse Halter

2010-11-10T06:44:10-08:00

My best friend and I went horseback riding this past weekend and I was surprised this morning when I went out to the stable to find that she’d left her horse halter here. I have someone who comes in every day to take care of the horse tack and to brush the horses and such so I don’t get out there usually until the weekend to spend time with the horses. My best friend lives about ten miles from here and she usually rides her horse to our place when we plan to go horseback riding. This time she actually brought it in the trailer and I guess that’s how she ended up forgetting the horse halter. I plan to call her sometime later this morning, but I’ll probably text her first and tell her thanks for giving me the new horse halter. I know she’d recently ordered it online, so she’ll get a good laugh out of me teasing her about it. We plan to go riding again this weekend as long as weather permits, so she can pick up the horse halter then, providing she doesn’t need it before then.

Too Warm For Equestrian Tack

2010-11-04T07:05:52-07:00

Los Angeles and the residents of this huge city are not new to breaking records. The past couple of days have been record breaking because of the heat. Tuesday was in the high eighties and then yesterday was over 90 degrees. It is hard for me to believe we are into the first week of November. I went hiking on Tuesday and saw a couple of people on horseback riding trails off in the distance. First thing that came to mind was those ponies must be hotter than I was because of all their equestrian tack. I was in loose shorts and tee shirt. The horses had on show halters and other items I couldn’t make out from the distance. Today might be just as hot.

If I owned a horse, I’d be keeping him indoors this week. It is like a freak heat wave is rolling though Southern California before it becomes winter. Mother Nature just keeps pushing off the cold end of the year weather. It is sort of annoying. Either way wearing or applying equestrian tack in this heat is not the best idea.

Hope the Horse Tack Will Help Out

2010-11-04T06:37:50-07:00

I heard not too long ago that one of the stables in the area was possibly going to have to close due to lack of funds to keep them running. They help a lot of families who own horses and don’t have the finances to house them in other places, and the fact that they may have to close made me sad. I’m a huge animal lover and I decided to call and ask if I could help. They said they needed so many things like horse tack and even a horse halter for all the horses. They talked about how even the basics were too much for them at the moment because their funding had run out. I promised to do what I could so I made a few phone calls and I’m setting up a fund raiser with a few friends. In the meantime, I’ve ordered horse tack and a horse halter for every single horse they house along with some feed. I hope this will at least be a start to help them through this rough patch.

Prancing Down Main In A Show Halter

2010-11-01T18:25:10-07:00

Now that Halloween is behind us I can’t help but think of the winter season. This time of the year is wonderful because so much of it is based around family. Thanksgiving is up next on the 2010 calendar. A table full of family and friends all drooling over the feast is hard to not get excited about. Thanksgiving will come before anyone is ready. That is how Halloween went for me. It does not seem like more than a week ago we were moving into the first of October. Soon it will be December. My neighborhood puts on a great holiday fair come December. All the restaurants decorate, shops offer passersby all sorts of deals, an orchestra sets up in the park and the equestrian center shuttles people around in carriage rides. The horses are always decked out in show halters and spirited horse tack.

I’ve never taken a ride around the block but this year it seems like the right thing to do. The horse ride weaves through the surrounding neighborhoods where everyone’s house is strung with lights. It should really be something. Holiday horse halters are just around the corner.

Show Halters That Look Good

2010-10-29T05:29:13-07:00

Now that my cousin has started riding horses and showing them, she’s been collecting show halters so that she’ll have a different one to use each time she rides. At first, I didn’t really see the point in having so many show halters, but she said that I needed to see it as a different outfit for the horse. Because her horse obviously doesn’t wear clothes, she wants him to look the best he possibly can for each show and the show halters are one of the ways she does that. Other ways are by braiding his mane and making sure that he is in top shape. She’s always loved the color red and I was looking for Christmas gifts a few nights ago when I came across beautiful red show halters. The price was great on them so I decided to order one for her horse for Christmas. I know she’ll be surprised, especially since she’s the only one who has bought show halters, but I figured it was about time someone else did. I know she’s going to love it, plus I’m going to share the site with her so she can order from there herself in the future.

Helping Her Find Horse Tack Online

2010-10-26T06:04:15-07:00

It hasn’t been that long ago when one of my neighbors called to ask if I would be willing to look online and see if I could find some horse tack for a good price. I’m always willing to help someone in need, especially a neighbor but I had to admit to her that I wouldn’t know a good price on horse tack if it jumped up and bit me. She laughed when I said that and promised that I wouldn’t be searching blindly, that she’d bring me a list of items that she needed and a general price that she would expect to pay for the horse tack so that I’d know if it was a good deal or not. With this little extra information, I was more than happy to help her, and that same day she dropped off a list of various horse tack items, plus the brands and prices. I got busy that afternoon and by that evening I was able to call her with a list of prices for the horse tack, and for a better price than that she’d listed. She was thrilled and the next thing we did was order the items that she wanted. I’m always happy to help someone in need.

Looking up Designer Horse Halters on Laptop with Wife

2010-10-24T20:31:46-07:00

My wife loves her horses; she has two of them boarded at her parent’s ranch in Dallas. This coming December we are planning on heading down there for about a week to get some horse riding in, and she has been looking for some new designer horse halters online. I know that she really wants to get her hands on some really great looking designer horse halters to truly compliment the fine mares that she has boarded down there, which she only gets to see and ride a few times per year due to the distance between where we live in Arizona and where her parents live in Dallas. We were hanging out today and watching TV, and I grabbed the laptop off the desk in my bedroom and told her that we should shop around online for some designer horse halters that she would really like. Seeing as we both just got paid for the past two weeks, she agreed that some new designer horse halters were in the budget. So far we have bookmarked several great pages on online stores with some magnificent designer horse halters to choose from.

Buying Ashley A Horse Tack Bracelet

2010-10-20T11:11:33-07:00

My little sister Ashley has always loved horses and as her tenth birthday drew closer, I started to realize that a grown up piece of horse tack jewelry would be the perfect birthday gift for her. I was not sure how to go about shopping for her, but a good friend of mine told me to check out an online superstore called JewelryTack Room . I decided to take her advice and I went online to check it out. Within minutes, I came across a beautiful 14 karat gold, silver and diamond horse take bracelet. I was so excited that I had found such a perfect gift for her and I was hoping that it would arrive in time for her big party. To my delight, her horse tack jewelry arrived a few days before the party and I had it wrapped and ready to go. When the day of her party arrived, I was so excited and I could not wait to see her face when she opened her gift. When she finally got to opening her gifts, I made sure that mine was one of the first ones that she opened. The delight on her face as she saw her horse tack jewelry was priceless. She absolutely loved it and she put it on right away! Later, our mom told me that she even went to bed with her horse tack jewelry on.

Since that day, I have not seen my sister without her having the horse tack jewelry on. I am so glad that I went online to buy my little sister horse tack jewelry that made her so happy. Listening to my friends advice was one of the most brilliant things I have done in a while. I saved money, had a fast delivery and purchased a gorgeous, high end horse tack bracelet for my sister's birthday... while staying within budget. Both my little sister and I are incredibly happy with my fantastic purchase. I am a true believer in shopping online, now that I have scored big. My friends and family members were so impressed with my purchase that they have all tried shopping online. I truly believe that this is the smartest way to shop and everyone else agrees. I cannot wait until my next gift giving occasion. I can only imagine what amazing deals there are waiting to be found out there. I am sure that my next purchase will be even better than the last.

Surprised at Where he Found the Horse Halter

2010-10-20T06:02:09-07:00

Several days ago my son came home from school holding something that he told me was a new leash for our dog. I was sitting at the dining room table, so I couldn’t see what he had in his hands, but it looked more like a horse halter to me than any type of leash. I asked if he’d bring it into the kitchen and in the meantime he volunteered the information that he’d found it on his walk home from school. When he handed it to me I could clearly see that it was a horse halter so I asked him where he’d found it. He said he hadn’t seen any horses but only a few dogs, and that he thought it looked big, but figured it was just for a big dog. I couldn’t help but smile. He offered to show me where he’d found the horse halter, so we grabbed our umbrellas and headed out the door. I was hoping we wouldn’t need the umbrellas, but it looked like it was going to pour at any moment, so I figured it was better to be safe than sorry. He found the horse halter in the middle of our neighborhood and for the life of me I can’t figure out where it came from. Guess we’ll wait and see if anyone claims it missing.

Finding Horse Halter Led to Date

2010-10-17T06:05:16-07:00

I was out walking about a week ago when I came across something lying on the path. At the time I first laid eyes on it, I thought it was a dog leash, but when I picked it up, I realized it was a horse halter. I thought it was odd, especially since I don’t know of any horses in the area, so I couldn’t imagine why a horse halter would have been on this particular trail, but I know stranger things have happened. I picked up the horse halter and walked with it for a while. I climbed to the top of the hill which overlooks a field down below. At the bottom of the hill in the middle of the field was a horse and what appeared to be one person standing beside the horse. I couldn’t help but find myself wondering if they’d came through on this particular path and if the horse halter belonged to them. I decided to follow the trail and met up with them about half way across the field. They were making their way towards me and I held up the horse halter and asked if it was theirs. I noticed that it was a very cute man. The halter was his and we walked and talked for a while. Turns out he lives not far from there, and he asked me for a date. Who would have thought?

New Shop Didn't Offer Good Prices on Horse Tack

2010-10-14T05:56:21-07:00

Several days ago I was in town and I noticed that there was a new store that said it sold horse tack. I thought that I would give it a try and see what different types of horse tack they sold, so that I could share the information with my nephew, who recently bought his first horse. I was also thinking that maybe if they had decent prices that I’d buy him a horse halter just to let him know that I’m thinking of him and wish him the best with his new horse. I’ve been promising to visit him, but yet at this point I still haven’t done it. I know he wants to show off his horse and even though I’m scared of them, I should definitely visit because I know how important it is to him. As it turned out, the prices of the horse tack was pretty expensive, or at least I thought so. I will admit not knowing much about horse tack so when I got home I looked online and was able to find the same horse halter that I saw in the store for a fraction of the price. I ordered the one online, and when it arrives, I’m going to go spend some time at the farm with Mark.

Horse Tack Fashion Jewelry

2010-10-12T08:40:36-07:00

Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved horses. My grandfather used to live on an acre when I was little and most all of his neighbors owned horses and I remember taking walks with him to look at all of them. Perhaps that is why I fell instantly in love with a pair of silver and diamond horse shoe earrings at my favorite online superstore, Jewelry Tack Room. Not only were they horse tack jewelry, like I love, they were easily the most wearable and classy pair I had ever seen. What was more, I was incredibly pleased with the low price on them. I felt so happy when I placed my order and I really hoped that I would receive my horse tack jewelry before an upcoming horse show in my town. Since I had so much previous experience with shopping online, I knew that I would receive my order pretty swiftly. As I thought, within a few days of ordering my horse tack earrings, they were delivered to my home. In fact they came right in time for the horse show I had been so excited about.

When I got ready for the horse show and put on my new horse tack earrings, I felt fantastic. As my friends and I walked around the show, I had so many handsome men coming up to talk to me and even more girls wanting to know where I had found my gorgeous horse tack earrings. Many of the girls that I told about shopping online could not believe that it was where I had found my earrings. They actually thought that I had them made custom. I am so glad that I have been shopping online for so long and that I found my new favorite horse tack earrings at my favorite online store. I not only find the items that make me feel wonderful and raise my confidence, I also save a great deal of money when I shop. I cannot wait until my next great find and I am just about certain that when I do, it will be at Jewelry Tack Room. My friends have been so impressed with my good luck finding great horse tack jewelry online that most of them have taken up the hobby as well. Now, we all save money while buying the horse tack jewelry of our dreams. We are all sold on shopping online.

Much Time Left For Equestrian Tack

2010-10-11T12:47:51-07:00

When people think of Southern California, images of sunshine, ocean waves and Palm trees come mind. This brings a lot of people to the area. Equestrians included. Before moving to Los Angeles I never would have thought this was a big area for horse riding. It is. It doesn’t take a very far drive to run into signs of equestrian tack. There is a riding center within five minutes of where I live. Peppered throughout the city centers are horse trails, riding centers and equestrian tack enthusiasts. Drive north of the city and find ranches of all sizes and shapes. LA is a great place for horse riding because of the weather. When most people start boarding their ponies for the winter months, people here are waking up early in the morning to ride.

I’m looking out the window right now and the sun is shining. The air conditioning just turned off for God’s sakes. Fall is in the air but it is still tee-shirt weather. I also don’t live near the ocean. It is colder there. Equestrian tack is alive and well in Southern California.

I Forgot to Remove the Horse Halter

2010-10-08T06:30:49-07:00

Last night my sister in law called to ask me where I’d put the horse halter when I’d been at the farm earlier in the day. I couldn’t remember doing anything with the horse halter and asked her if she’d check to see if it was still on Chocolate because I didn’t remember removing it.

Earlier this year my siblings and I went together and purchased a horse. I had a horse halter that I found online and that’s the one that we use most of the time, in spite of having several others. The kids love Chocolate and we spend a lot of time with her on the weekends riding and enjoying her company. Since my sister in law called from her cell phone, she walked out to the barn and sure enough the horse halter was still on Chocolate. We both got a laugh out of it, and she said she didn’t even think to look on the horse since I’m always so meticulous about putting the horse halter back on the nail where we keep it. I knew they were going to be there that evening so I never even thought about removing it.

Vintage Truck Upgraded With More Than Horse Tack

2010-09-28T08:54:38-07:00

Not every farm is the same but the majority I’ve been too house an old pickup used as the mechanical workhouse. It doesn’t have to be a farm either—anywhere with a barn or pasture is usually a good place to find a vintage truck hauling bales of hay, horse tack, feed, conchos, tools and whatever else goes with a horse halter. The great part about these old trucks is no matter how much abuse the owner puts them through they keep running with the occasional tune up and quart of oil. My friend has such a truck. A rusted bed, too many dents to count, long shifter and absolutely no creature comforts, it is still rolling strong with over 250,000 miles. His parents own horse and they once used his now daily driver for horse tack and pasture work. He took it with him after moving out. It gave his dad an excuse to pick up a new truck for their horse halter needs.

My buddy loves it because it gets him where he needs to go, it costs nothing to insure and if anyone hits him it is no big deal. Last time we took the old hunk of metal off-roading he almost tipped it over. Most people would have been scared. He started laughing and wished it would have tipped over for the pictures and adventure of getting it back on four wheels. That is what I like to call faith in a vehicle. The truck saw the most abuse not under stress of hauling horse tack but after my buddy took it off his property.

With his birthday coming up I found the perfect gift for his truck within Jewelry Tack Room at http://www.jewelrytackroom.com/. Like I said my friend’s truck has no form of luxury. The most modern feature is an old CD player he bought online back in high school. The Belkin TuneBase FM plugs into a cigarette lighter which his truck has and then plays MP3 player music through a set FM channel. We will at least be able to really jam out without hearing his CDs skip when bouncing around a rough dirt road. I know how annoying it is burning and buying CDs too. They scratch and there is never enough great music on them to be sustainable for long drives. An Mp3 player is just much easier. His truck went from days with horse tack and conchos to a little bit of 21^st century tech with a simple click at an awesome online retailer.

Making Horse Tack Her Business

2010-09-28T08:21:49-07:00

My friend has ridden horses since she was a kid. I saw the pictures in her apartment to prove that. She knows all there is to know about equestrian tack and horse care. This inspired her to make plans for a horse tack store. After running the numbers she found out it would be too large of a risk to open a tangible store with rent, utilities and all that. She now wants to open her horse tack store online. I’ve given her a big thumbs up. At the end of the day many of us would love to be our own boss. The idea of owning something other people find use out of is really inspiring. She has never owned a business before so I loaned her a couple books about becoming an entrepreneur.

It’s better to plan these things out instead of jumping right in. She hopes the store will help supplement her riding career. If I’ve learned one thing about riding horses it’s how expensive it can get. Having the right retailer on your side is really important. Hopefully her horse tack store turns into that place for other people.

A Business Meeting and Then to Horse Halters and Riding When in Dallas

2010-09-28T08:06:55-07:00

I have a business meeting coming up in Dallas, Texas, where my wife’s parents actually own a really nice ranch out there. I won’t have enough room to pack all of the horse riding gear I need, but they have it all; equestrian tack, show halters, horse tack, conchos, horse halters, and they even have my own customized saddle out there for me as well. The meeting actually turned up at the very last minute, and sadly my wife is unable to accompany me out there this time around. And we were just out there a few weeks ago visiting her parents and enjoying their ranch. However, she is not fretting about it too much, as we are planning to head back to Dallas for the holidays this year to spend a week out there; which should be grand indeed. As for next week, it will be cool to enjoy staying at her parent’s house and not having to pay for a hotel room—and getting to ride some horses in my downtime will be a huge bonus as well.

They're going to Love the Horse Halter

2010-09-28T08:04:43-07:00

When my parents gave the kids a horse earlier this summer, the one thing they didn’t have for them was a horse halter. They borrowed one from a friend of theirs where they have the horse boarded, but I knew that eventually my husband and I would have to buy a horse halter for them and also a saddle. I didn’t realize that the prices for things would be so expensive, and finally on a whim I decided to check online for a horse halter and found some for a great price. I also looked for a saddle, and again- great price. My husband and I talked about it and decided that since the prices were so great that we’d order more than one horse halter, that way we’d have one on hand if something happened to the one they were using. I placed the order about two weeks ago and it arrived this morning. They are going to be so excited when they see it and I know the first thing they’re going to want to do is to go to the stables and take him for a ride.

A Show Halter for Diamond

2010-09-22T07:52:20-07:00

I was on a website for equestrian tack a few days ago looking for a gift for my brother and his new horse when I came across a beautiful show halter. I knew that my brother had mentioned showing Diamond, but still wasn’t sure if he’d actually taken any steps towards getting her into the shows so I wondered if I should order the show halter. It was a beautiful red and black, both of which are colors that I know he loves. I also thought that the colors would look great against the dark skin of the horse and the more I thought about it the more I thought he would love the show halter. I bookmarked it and ended up calling him the following day and before I could ask him about it, he started telling me that he’d signed him and Diamond up for a show sometime in October. I wasn’t sure about the date, but while we were still talking I ordered the show halter and didn’t mention it to him. When it arrives I’ll take it over to him since I’ve been meaning to go see Diamond anyway.
