Horse Product Review : Fly Spray

Ok, so... If you are around horses then you know all about the flies that follow them ... And bite them... And are just a big buzzing pain! And, you also know that fly spray is a must! But which fly spray is best?

Well, me being the green person that I am choose Absorbine Ultra Shield Green - the natural fly repellent... Eco-friendly and all that jazz... Except for that fact that it kept the flies off for about 20 minutes ...my poor horse was an all-you-can-eat buffet and the flies were all going for seconds... No, make that thirds! :(

 

So I had to up my game to the Ultra Shield EX.... And the flies stayed away from its toxic flumes ... Go figure...

Will I ever try to go all natural again? ... I'm pretty sure that is a yes...but for now I sticking with what keeps the flies away.

Notes: my instructor said to try adding Avon's Skin so soft to the fly spray or oil of Citronella ... I haven't tried it yet, but we will let you know when we do :oD

Happy cantering :oD

Schleich Dressage Set

This set was found at HobbyTown .U.S.A.  I love the way that the tack is so easy to put on and the reins can pop on and off. However, I thought the  figure was difficult to get on and I wasn't able to get the reins in her hands. I like these figurines for their realistic features and I love their scale... Not too big, not too small.... but..... I wish the people were posable.... and came in different skin tones ... Still, I am not sure which model horse scale I will build my barn in... Traditional Breyers or Schleich... Choices...

  Happy Cantering!

Review: Stablemate Rescue Trailer, Mystery Foal Pack, and New ArrivalSet

I found these great deals at Tuesday Mornings... only the best place to find Breyers at almost half off! XD   Stablemates Mystery Foal Surprise, Lights & Siren Animal Rescue Set, and the New Arrival Set ...AWESOME !!!

In the  Mystery Foal Set we got a palomino mare and a Bukskin stallion with a light palomino mystery foal. Yay! I like the mystery sets because it's so much fun to wonder what your gonna get! Almost like having a real foal :oD

The Lights and Siren Animal Rescue Set has a truck and a three horse trailer. There is a ramp that you can pull out so your horses can walk in and out the trailer. It also comes with a tack area,  a light that really works, and a siren that makes an alarm sound. I love this set! I love the way the lights and siren make playtime so realistic ... Sometimes my brother "aciddently" scares me with it... Little brothers ;o)  

The New Arrival set comes with... a sack of hay, a water bucket ( which is a little big for the scale when compared to the 1:32 scale people... just saying), a trough of hay, a tack box, and a fence. I think this set was great! The fence folds out in a square and your foal can play around til his/hers heart's content :oD This set has a black mare and a black foal... just happens to be the same mold as the foal we got in the Mystery Foal Set...but it is still awesome :)

These pieces are great and are a wonderful gift or toy for any girl or boy :)

Happy Cantering!

Review: Tractor Supply Rain Boots

These rain boots are great! My absolute fave! Plus, I got them on sale for just $9.99! ...regularly priced at $19.99 ... That's half off....SWEET!!! I love Tractor Supply :)

So far I have tested them in the barn mucking stalls, walking around town ... And even splashed in a few puddles XD and they were GREAT!!! But, I accidentally got the wrong size so now when I walk my boots flip-flop around... well... actually.... I picked up my normal shoe size ... but the boots run large, so I should have tried them on in the store and I would have known to get a size down... So just make sure to try them on :) OOooo! Oh ya!  I love the print! What is better than horses galloping through lush pastures! If you get these boot I know that you will like them. They are comfortable and easy to walk around in! Just get the right size! 

Happy cantering :)
