Just wondering, what are some of you English riders' must haves?
Stuf you can't live without for:
Shows
Outfits
Supplies
Clothes
Etc.
Please don't say stupid everyday stuff like hoofpick, tell my the brand of hoofpick and why it's so great!
Here's mine:
I can't live without my Charles Owen helmet, it's gorgeous and holds up very well!
I also LOVE my Kerrit's riding tights and my GPA backpack is amazing for showing
Leather CPR is also my favorite tack cleaner 2 in 1 I'd DIE without it
Please be respectfull. Thanks for answering! :)
Answer
My horse: I have a four year old OTTB ex steeplechase horse named Buddy. He's a dark bay no chrome(markings) gelding and he basically saved my life. I've never really told many people this, but ever since my best friend committed suicide last year I've been depressed, moody, angry, and I have post traumatic stress disorder. I had been in a mental hospital three times and wasn't getting better, until I met Buddy. I had been going down a self destructive path in life, failing out of school so badly I had to switch schools, losing the great relationship I had with friends and family, trying out some of the negative coping skills my best friend had been doing before his death. It was all going wrong until I met him. I originally didn't like him much, I had my heart set on a big gray 17.0hh OTTB named Moose, so when I met Buddy I didn't pay much attention even though he was very loving and curious and a big baby. Then I met Moose, who wasn't as loving and was spooky, and on the way home I couldn't stop thinking about Buddy. I went back a few days later to see him and try him out, and he was the best thing that had happened in a long time. He may have bolted with me twice and spooked at nothing, but he was the kindest most curious and loving horse I had ever met. I instantly fell in love with him, and the way I get through the day is by thinking about him and how I'll get to see and ride him after school, or the next day. He saved my life, and the only way I can think to repay him is by loving him back unconditionally. He may be naughty sometimes but we work through it and yesterday we jumped two cross rails and he didn't even flinch, and we cantered around the ring twice without him bucking or getting fast, or breaking to the trot. I was so proud of him, and I would give up everything just to be able to spend the rest of my life with him. Sure I like the things I'll list below, but I don't need anything but Buddy Boy in my life. He's the perfect boy, he'll never hurt me, or dump me (except maybe on the ground if we have an off day haha) and he'll be by my side no matter what. Even if he gets injured and becomes unridable, I wouldn't dream of having any other horse. My only want is to care for him for the rest of his/my life and make him as happy and comfortable and talented as he has potential to be. Sorry for the soppy stuff, I just kind of wanted to come clean about why I'm so obsessed with him and this seemed the place to do it :)
For outfits/clothes: I LOVE my Kerrits riding pants, they feel like sweatpants are easy to get on/off. They also have a cargo sort of pocket where I can keep my phone without it falling out while I ride. I also love my Dublin river boots, they're waterproof so when I cross the creek to get my horse I don't have to mess with the stepping stones, they're also super comfortable and warm. Lastly, my IRH riding helmet. It's comfy, fits my head like a glove, and is suitable for showing. I got it free off of a friend, it's in brand new condition, no cracks, she's never fallen in it or dropped it.
Supplies that don't go on the horse: I love my Blue leather leaner, it gets the saddle and my show boots very supple and well conditioned. Also my Bay enhancing shampoo, it gets Buddy from a mud crusted mess to a shining and healthy looking dark bay.
Supplies that go on the horse: This is all part of my matching garnet ensemble! Haha. I have my Centaur bell boots that are great because they double lock and fit my horse perfectly, then we have my Dover saddlery quilted pad that was on sale and works great with my saddle, my Woof splint boots to keep him from knocking himself, my Vac polo wraps for helping keep him supple in the winter (I only use them on the back legs), my Formay halter and lead rope for they are durable and strong and don't rub him, and my Irish knit cooler from state line tack because it's great for trailering or keeping him warm while evaporating sweat.
Tack: This sounds like it's not a very good one, but I love my no-name brand $80 saddle. It's comfortable and fits ever horse I've ridden it in. My Mylar bit is a staple, my OTTB Buddy can get a little spooky sometimes and bolts too (He's only been off the steeplechase track for 2.5 months, and he's only four) so it keeps him in check. . My Lettia synthetic with sheepskin girth was another staple, it's actually pretty flexible. It fits my old horse, a big bodied Belgian cross, and also my kind of Chubby 16.1 OTTB with no problem, it's a 50".
I'm bored, so I figured I'd throw in a lot of things, why I love them, and my brands haha, sorry that it's so long! I would recommend any and all of these products, they weren't expensive and didn't break the bank and they all work great and are versatile.

Q. Well I'm a 14 year old boy near the end of summer and haven't done anything at all except video games. I need a hobby or a sport to keep me occupied for after school. I'm skinny so nothing like rugby (although i do like that sport). I've looked into knitting and heard its a "manly art" lol. Any suggestions will help. :D
