Equissential Breeches

I absolutely LOVE these breeches. I ordered a pair of tan full seat breeches via their website on a Monday...had them the same week on a Thursday. That's pretty cool, but what's REALLY wonderful is how PERFECT they fit and apparently, they must LOOK really great on me because my students and boarders have several times complimented me on how nice my breeches are, asking if they were new! They are so comfortable to ride in and wear, I could just LIVE in them. Well... I just about do. But I finally had to wash them, and they turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I was, am, so pleased that I ordered a "white pair" for an upcoming dressage show that I have entered. The new white breeches arrived on a Wednesday after only being ordered the Sunday evening before. THANKS for the great product and fantastic service. 

SmartPaks

With so little time, and so many horses, I rely on SmarkPaks to prepare the supplements for my horses.  Most of my boarders also use this wonderful company.  Actually... I don't know how they do it!  When I put a modest value on my time, and figure up how much it would cost me to buy and prepare supplements for my horses, it turns out to be CHEAPER for me to use SmarkPaks!!!  This is a GREAT company with which to work WITH GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.  I highly RECOMMEND that horse owners AND DOG AND CAT OWNERS, use SMARTPAKS.

Maggie Johnston Show Horses

                                                                                                                   Maggie in the mid 1960's

Every rider owes her/his start to someone, and my start was with Maggie Johnston.  That was a long time ago.....Maggie was a high school student in Big Flats, N.Y. and my legs didn't even come down below the saddle flap.  Prince and Impy are two of Maggie's horses that will always be cherished in my memories.

Eventually, my parents bought a horse for me.  "Ludwig" was bred by Maggie.  Forty years, later, I still trail ride on the farm on which Maggie grew up, and have memories of learning to jump in the little patch of yard along side of the farm house.  

Maggie is a nationally recognized breeder, trainer and exhibitor of Paint horses.  She has moved back home to our area, working with Angela Burgess at Taylor Made Show Horses.  Check out her site to see her beautiful stallions and the magnificent offspring that she has for sale.

Thanks Maggie...for giving me my start.  

Yup...that's me...... about 40 years ago.................
