Pay Day Treats!

I am told February is a short month but I don't believe it - February has felt like the longest month EVER! I don't know what it is...perhaps its the weather or the final slog to get through the challenging "Winter with horses" lifestyle but to me March sounds much more appealing and positive so roll on next week. In the meantime I think it's time for a little pay day treat. With lots of new products arriving at The Horse Diva HQ there is plenty to choose from. Here are a few of my personal favourites... 

Equetech Empire Ladies Breeches in Petrol. I love the striking colour of these ladies breeches and the paisley pattern on the seat is really pretty whilst being rather handy giving you a slightly grippy seat for those "Spring" moments!  They are super comfy with a lovely high waist and soft stretchy material. 

My colleague described the Ladies Toggi Fleece Socks as "the best fluffy socks out there" today and I couldn't agree more. Warm and comforting - these prevent you having freezing toes. These socks are also nice to wear at home at the end of a long day when you need to put your feet up.

I love buying new products for my horse (find me a horse owner who doesn't!) and as we head towards the end of another winter its a good time to give your equestrian supplies a bit of a revamp. The HyIMPACT range of brushing boots and over reach boots are great for day to day use and brighten up your equestrian wear even on those dull grey days. 

I easily get bored of wearing the same equestrian clothing to the yard but an easy way to add a bit of vibrancy without too much expense is to change your riding hat silk depending on your mood. I have been wearing a navy spot one over the winter but I think it's time for a change. One that will look great with my brown riding boots and riding gloves is the Leopard Design Riding Hat Cover.

My final favourite is The Horse Boy book. I have just started reading it and I am really looking forward to continuing. This is a true story of a father's journey to heal his son's autism through his relationship with horses. It's great to unwind with a good book after a long day at the yard or at work. 

Step into Summer in Style!

There might be a few April showers around but it's certainly warmer out there which means we can spend even more time with our equine friends, especially now there are more daylight hours. Summer also means we get an opportunity to get out from our under out waterproofs and show off our equestrian style! At The Horse Diva we have expanded our range to be able to create some funky equestrian outfits for you and your little ones. With more children's horse riding clothing arriving later this week, there will be something for every style. In the meantime, here's a sneaky preview of our first stylish equestrian outfits which we will be out and about modelling in the upcoming weeks.

We have put together a gorgeous girly look for lovely ladies which includes the super stylish HyPERFORMANCE Frayer Pink and Grey Check Ladies Breeches teamed with a funky pink equestrian polo shirt and the pink/ grey sport horse riding hat cover, riding gloves and pom pom socks.

The next equestrian outfit is proving popular with women and teens combining our best selling "if you can read this..." equestrian hoodie with the HyPERFORMANCE Raised Polka Dot jodhpurs. Team with the popular navy spot pom pom horse riding hat cover and Townend Socks to finish the outfit off perfectly!

Our children's horse riding clothing collection will be expanding further over the next couple of weeks, but the HyPERFORMANCE Denim Lola Teen/ Childs Breeches are already proving popular along with the matching clothing and accessories. The silver horse hat cover and gloves have also just arrived and these would look great with the breeches as they pick up the cute diamante detailing.

We hope you like our first Horse Diva equestrian 

outfits and will be sporting some of our recommended clothing this summer time. For any enquiries do not hesitate to contact us through the website and we will be happy to advise.

Happy riding!

Winter is Arriving...

I don't know about you but I certainly feel like Winter is well on it's way. I seem to have gone in to auto hibernation, wrapping up in layers of clothing, hot water bottles at night and enjoying lots of casseroles and cake (any excuse for cake!).

The change in season is also obvious from doing the daily horse routine. When I venture to the yard at 6.15am it's pitch black and it's now a game of hunt the horse! Usually i'll just about work out where he is, walk there and when i'm 2 metres away he'll gallop past me back to the gate to check if i've left him any hay! I'm having a similar problem in the evenings! The horses are also noticing the change in climate. No sooner had I returned from my holiday in Cornwall, that I found a very hairy beast who has thankfully now been smartly clipped.

So the fly fringes have been put away for another year, along with the fly repellant and sun cream and the rugs and winter grooming gear is back out. So here i've put together a few of my winter essentials to ensure we are fully equiped for the cold months ahead:

My lovely pink fleece is great for layering up with a waterproof riding jacket or a padded gilet and I couldn't live without my Equestrian Gloves for the Yard- these gloves protect your finger tips during all your chores on those icy morning.


And my Knightrider Socks are ideal to add to my flourescent gear now the daylight is fading fast.

Plus I don't think i'd ever be able to get my horse fully clean without this equestrian grooming brush- ideal for getting the clumps of dried mud out of various strange places!
