Schnieders Blankets

I have had 2 Schnieder's blankets now and I absolutely love them. They are tough, well constructed, warm, and sharp looking. They come with a 2 year warranty, but I haven't had to use it yet. Not even a tear! They are incredibly waterproof. These things are tough!

They have different lines for different breeds, including warmblood!

The Vtek V Free Horse Blankets designed to fit the warmblood and TB. Especially those with high withers (which these breeds tend to have). They have great buckles, well constructed, not one has broken. Leg straps, belly straps, and double snap chest closure.

They have a pressure free wither design including a wither padding. They also have a strap to adjust the shoulder pressure. Both of these features have completely eliminated my horse's wither soreness which he suffers from wearing traditional blankets.

The Stormshield model is my favorite.

They come in multiple weights, all under $200. The Medium weight is $129 for 220g, the Light weight is $119 for 100g of fill, and the sheet (no insulation) is $109!

I have the Stormshield model in lightweight (100g) and medium weight (220g). I cannot stress how much I love them! I will only buy their blankets moving forward. The quality is way up there for the low price, I almost feel like I am robbing them. The Stormshield Light Weight is not incredibly light weight, it is still rather thick. I tend to have him wear it when it's in the 30s or in the 40s at night. He is half clipped and lives in a shed/run outside.

Tip: When measuring your horse stay true to the size or round up. I had a size 78 which fits well on my horse for awhile, but then I had it cleaned and it did shrink a little...his gut was hanging out of the bottom. :) So I graduated it to my smaller rescue horse and bought him a new one, size 80....it fits perfectly and a little room for shrink.

The Stormshield, perfect for TBs and Warmbloods. Buy at SStack.com

My next big purchase, the VTek Marathon Model which comes with a belly band and a heavy weight of 380grams! We have cold winter days of -15 here in Colorado with a clipped horse the leaves in a shed and run this is necessary.

$199.00 for the heavy weight! Buy Here.

Don't have a TB or WB? The V-free model is for Arabians, Quarterhorses, and similar confirmations. They also have the Cutback model for Morgans and other horses with upright necks.

They also have a great fly sheet model, which is probably worth a try this summer!

Horseware of Ireland

Horseware makes some cute stuff at a really great price!  I love their socks and fleece coolers (have multiples of each).  The socks stay soft and so do the coolers! I think Horseware is really taken off, they have even developed the Ice Vibe, which are rechargeable boots that boost circulation in the horse's legs. Really reasonable price at $240.

What is also cool about Horseware is they sponser a Grand Prix CSI 3* $82,000.  This year's winner was a Japanese rider, Eiken Sato on Espyrante.

Beautiful show jacket with the elite look, but not the price, only $100!

 Utility Jacket with cute pinstripes.

 One of my favorite items, their socks!  Seriously, these things stay soft and are very durable.

If you want to up the cute factor get your dog to match your horse!  These collar and dog blankets are perfect.  I love the dog collars because they have that nice padding for comfort.

Saddle pads in different colors.

It's almost fall, so it's time for long sleeve polos.  This navy stripe is a classic.

A belt I am pretty sure I am going to go and buy right now!  $17.99

Another great jacket for riding.  This one is a little more durable for the barn.

I don't think I will ever get sick of the Horseware theme colors and logo.  It does have a polo/European flare that Equestrians love.

Horseware makes some great hand bags that are easy to clean.  The light blue below is my favorite.

A really cute sporty jacket for riding.

I love their coolers.  I have one and they are so soft and stay soft.  You will want to bundle your pony up in one of these.

Wellie boot socks, cute color options.

Fixdesign Pretty

Came across this image of Fixdesign show room (in Italy, darn-it too far).  Those helmets are gorgeous! They came out with a vanilla line, which is beautiful.  Fixdesign is an Italian based equestrian apparel company, the bow is their symbol and on most of their gear.  Really cute bow by the way. They also have a line of everyday clothing, which is also pretty.

Wanna look at some more cute helmet's? Check out my previous post with tons of options here.
