My black whip holder really stood out against my rosegold horseshoes and wood in the tack room, so I took some spray paint and sprayed them rosegold, like the horseshoes. I think they look fabulous!!

When PS first started out, they produced their bridles in a gorgeous rich lighter brown colour called cognac! (See pics) over the years the stopped producing this colour and opted to only produce in a very dark brown, and black. As someone who only rides in the rich newmarkets, oaks, tans, cognacs it has driven me mad for years that if I ride in a ps bridle, even though it is brown, it looks like I’m one of those colourblind riders who doesn’t care about having mud matching tack and riding in a brown saddle with a black bridle!! Honestly the brown is so dark nowadays I find it almost impossible to distinguish from their black tack! I feel like over the past decade the rich lighter browns have become way more popular and if PS were to bring back cognac, it would sell very well! Probably out performing the dark brown! When I discovered the cognac I searched the globe and found a bridle to buy in Australia (I’m in South Africa) I got it here and am so happy that I can now ride in a PS bridle as I really felt I was missing out. I now buy any cognac colour leatherwork I find in my travels from PS but I would love NOTHING more than to be able to buy new bridles from them in different styles in cognac colour!

I'm very happy that the renovations of our over 100-year-old historic stable are finally in full swing 💪 There is a chance that by the end of September, the complete renovation of two arenas - the small and the large - will be finished. We also have a new quartz lunging ring and the possibility to ride on a large grass arena. In future plans, there's an idea to create an additional quartz outdoor riding area and build more paddocks 😻 With the completion of the renovations, an intensive program of competitions and events will be launched in this newly renovated center. I can't wait 🤩

So thankful for him, I am not that experienced in jumping, so I’m super happy that it is getting better each time🤎

I just wanted to share something that you guys might find helpful now or for future bit fitting, since in this particular case, this is not what I thought would have worked. 😂 Anyway, so if you've read my bio, you know I work with a stallion. Stallions, as one vet clinic said, "we treat them like the divas they are." They're not joking when they call them that! While the one I ride is a pretty good, he's very, and justifiably so, fussy about his tack. Recently, I had to get him new EVERYTHING. The hardest part was the bit. His previous owner (I do not own him) rode him in a D-ring, as I saw in photos. I was told by his rider before me that he couldn't be ridden in a bit because he was too mouthy. I refuse to ride such a horse as a stallion without a bit, so I decided to treat the situation as if he were a young horse. At a local tack sale, I found a copper single joint full cheek bit for cheap and decided to buy it because it had the full cheeks, which would help me should he not have very good steering. However, he is a Gypsy and being draft, he has a big tongue and low palate. Turns out he was mouthy because both bits, mine and the former rider's, were single joint and so they were jabbing him in the mouth. So, I searched for what he was ridden in to find the D-ring. Again, a bit that would help with steering. I borrowed one with my beloved double joint and while there was significant improvement, he wouldn't take contact for more than a second at a time. So, after a lot of thinking, with my only reason to try this being that a cheap dressage legal D-ring is really hard to find, I decided to borrow a loose ring double joint snaffle to see how he could take contact. It is very easy for him to blow through the bit on his stiff side, so I didn't want to make it even easier by using a straight bar. To my surprise, his steering was improved despite the "weak" cheekpieces, the loose ring even made him better on his stiff side, and he was MUCH happier to take contact!! All this to say, it's absolutely worth trying the opposite of what you think would work. Sometimes, that's exactly what's needed! 😁

Pony waiting for his clinic! Donna Gatchell is definitely my equestrian icon and I’m so blessed to be able to ride with her! She solved 3 months of our problems in 45 minutes and is just so positive. Has anyone else ridden with her? 💗

Just had my new pair of tall boots delivered and I am in love! I’ve never bought off the rack boots, my only other pair are semi customs, so I was shocked at how nicely these fit! Totally forgot breaking in boots is not exactly enjoyable but I think these will be broken in pretty quickly

I was wondering if anyone knew which sizing guide PSOS follows? as there appears to be several different sizes for the EU vs italy , vs Spain vs France I am dropping a lot of weight, as of today 30 lbs or 2 stone and so I am trying to figure out what size I am in Sweden from the USA I have purchased 38 tights from PSOS an at my heaviest they fit , Most recently I had a pair of the 42 jean type PSOS breaches , and I couldn't fit until about a week ago. These we not the faded wash jeans that everyone said ran small /mine were more of a material dark blue jean styled breech.
