I don’t know about you, but we are busy. Between taking care of the horses, teaching, riding, and running in between it all I don’t always have time to run to the tack shop. Riding Warehouse is my favorite online tack shop- everything I need right at the click of a button! They also carry a barn favorite – Back on Track USA. All of our horses use their stuff! We love knowing that our horses’ muscles are loose and relaxed.
Calendar
Just a quick tip in case you’re curious about where in the world I am – you can always check my calendar! I’m excited to share that I have several upcoming clinics at Waredaca and A Bit Better Farm . Rest assured, all levels are welcome and the only requirement is a desire to learn. I am looking forward to seeing you there!

Risks
In our sport, it’s crucial to acknowledge that there are inherent risks whenever we mount our horses. While we hope nothing ever goes wrong (knocking on wood), it’s essential to ensure that the people who show up to help us have all the necessary information. Our safety is a top priority, and I put my trust in Ride Safe, and Champion Equestrian Wear for that purpose.
With my Champion Revolve Ventair helmet and Ti22 body protector from Toklat Originals, I feel confident in my security. Additionally, my Ride Safe band provides an extra layer of reassurance.
If you’re interested in getting your own Champion Helmet, feel free to use my code SBRADLEY15 to enjoy a 15% discount and free shipping. And if you prefer shopping locally, just send me a message on Facebook, and I’ll provide you with a printable coupon. Stay safe out there!
Rock Ridge
Sometimes I am on the road teaching so much I think that people forget that I also teach at home. Rock Ridge, a truly remarkable place. Nestled on 100 picturesque acres with miles of hacking trails, it is a paradise. There is nothing like teaching in my own arena. I have space for ship-ins. All levels welcome!
Ulcer prevention and treatment
Preventing and treating ulcers in horses can be both challenging and expensive. However, we have found a solution that not only works effectively but is also affordable – U-Gard Pellets from Manna Pro Horse. These pellets have been a staple in my feed room for as long as I can remember. They are a reliable and cost-effective way to promote healthy digestion and prevent ulcers in horses.

Doc’s Hemp
CBD has been found effective in reducing muscle and joint pain in humans, and it’s also great for horses! We’ve witnessed its effectiveness on our senior horses. Using Doc’s Hemp gives us peace of mind, as they grow their product on certified organic farms in Vermont, triple-check everything, and it is veterinarian approved and third-party tested. It’s great to have a natural option that keeps our equine companions comfortable and happy.
