I never swing my leg over without my Champion Equestrian Wear helmet. It’s never worth the risk! It is also important to make sure that you are keeping up with the integrity of your helmet to make sure it stays safe. Any hard hit or four-five years of wear means that it’s time to replace it! My favorite place to order from is Riding Warehouse.
To get your own Champion helmet use my code SBRADLEY15 for 15% off and free shipping, if you’re shopping local DM me for a printable coupon.
What a wonderful, wonderful couple of weekends we have had!! We were wowed by the horsemanship that was on display. There were so many finishes in the top three spots. Congratulations to Skyeler for her first win in Advanced at The Horse Park of New Jersey Horse Trials, and Kelley for her win in Starter-1 and Starter-3 (and the TIP Starter Championship) with her youngsters at Seneca Valley Pony Club Horse Trials! Also, shout out to Brooke for a very successful second trip around an Advanced course.

I hold high expectations for my horses to perform like athletes, and to support them in achieving that, we go the extra mile. Ensuring their well-being is a top priority, and we take every measure to keep them content, healthy, and comfortable. Among the products we use to maintain their top shape are Back on Track USA and Multi Radiance Veterinary. These play a significant role in supporting our horses’ overall condition and performance.
It is our responsibility to make it easy for our horses to do what we ask, considering how hard they work for us. One of the many things we do to ensure our horses receive the best care possible is to use Haygain. Steaming hay is beneficial for our horses’ digestive system, reducing the risk of ulcers and ensuring that they recieve all the necessary nutrients from their forage.
Plus, right now if you order a steamer you get a free starter pack!
We have complete confidence in the Back on Track USA brand. Their products play a crucial role in our horses’ pre- and post-ride care, and we’ve found them to be beneficial for our own needs as well. The brand’s offerings have expanded significantly, encompassing leggings, gloves, saddle pads, and even products for dogs, all featuring the highly effective Welltex fabric.
Another fun weekend with a great group of riders! MCTA Horse Trials never disappoints- the views are always beautiful! Congrats to Jeanette and Rock’N Ranger on their second place finish in Open Beginner Novice.

For a successful season with your horse, planning ahead is essential. Keeping your horse in shape and maintaining their strength throughout is key. We highly recommend trying Muscle Mass from Manna Pro Horse. This supplement is excellent for enhancing endurance, stamina, and building strong, defined muscles. Give it a shot, and you’ll notice the positive difference it can make!

Properly balancing and communicating with your horse is crucial. That’s why I prefer Voltaire Design saddles. They focus on achieving the perfect balance between the rider and the horse’s anatomy, helping me find the right position for better connection and control.
