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!

The Online Shopping Town

Now shopping on the net is getting more and more like walking the high street and we love it! With so many internet retailers, when searching online for ideas and inspiration for gifts it's often difficult to know where to start. However the online shopping town has put together a fab collection of online shops that it recommends to friends. The site is easy to navigate and quick to find your way around the specialist cyber "streets". They have spent time finding the UK's best online boutiques and inviting all the best ones to join the town. So when you visit a shop front you can read a little about the retailer and then click straight through to its own website to start shopping! The Horse Diva is thrilled to be a part of the online shopping town, featuring in the Horse Gifts street and gifts for her section! Why not take a look around the shopping town and leave your comments on your favourite steet or shop?! Just like the high street its easy to browse and window shop, yet you can soon search for something specific if you know what you're after!
