All I Want For Christmas...

What are you getting the horse lover in your life for Christmas?  Do you need some ideas?  Here are a few items that I love that might help you out.  

Whipin' Wild Rags

Cowboys and cowgirls have been wearing wild rags since the 1800's.  Wild rags are worn for warmth in cold temperatures, and for protection from sun, wind, and dirt.  There are several companies that make wild rags but my favorite is Whipping' Wild Rags   Each wild rag is hand picked, designed, sewn, and packaged by hand, and they come in a variety of colors and sizes to suit your needs.  Beauty and function all rolled into one, what more could you ask for?

Strip Hair

Spring may seem far away at the moment, but before you know it your horses will be shedding that winter coat and you will be covered in horse hair.  I've always used those metal shedding blades to get all the winter hair off my horses and I've never been impressed.  This past spring I came across Strip Hair.  This is an amazing product with multiple uses.  Not only will  this groomer pull off all that winter hair, but you can use it to clean off mud, give your horse an extra shine, or a good massage.  Additionally, you can use the saddle pad groomer to pull off all the hair that builds up on your saddle pads.  I purchased the Strip Hair Bundle  and I have used every product and they are all amazing!  Now through Cyber Monday, the StripHair Bundle is on sale for $48.00, normally $64.00

American Feathers

Chelsey Stimson is the surviving spouse of SO1 Tyler Stimson, a Navy SEAL and former Marine. Chelsey, a veteran herself, beautifully paints American flags onto feathers and sells them on her Etsy site American Feathers.  You might have seen some of your favorite NFR cowboys and cowgirls wearing them in their hat bands.  These feathers are such an amazing tribute and a great way to show your American pride.

B&W Hitch

​When I got a LQ horse trailer I had to have a goose neck hitch put in my truck.  The only one I wanted was a B&W. Which worked out because that's the only one that the trailer dealership would install.  I love the slick design and the turn over ball.  A quick turn of the lever and I can turn the ball over and a have flat bed.  This hitch also bolts into the existing frame so there is no drilling or welding. American made with quality and strength, if you are going to be pulling a gooseneck trailer B&W is the way to go.

Entry Fees

​Give your mounted shooter the gift of fun and a weekend well spent.  Offer to cover the cost of the entry fees for a shoot.  This could range anywhere from $80-$1,000 depending on what shoot they want to go to, but it's totally worth the memories that will be made.  Plus the mounted shooter in your life will be filled with joy!
