OUR HOLIDAY WISH LIST What are you hoping to unwrap this holiday season? We pulled together some things we love…and we’re confident that you will too!
The Bit Blanket
Rain Shelter Barn Jacket
Do you have CBC? CBC, or Cold-Bit Compassion, is the term Bit Blanket, the electric bit warmer, has coined for the concern riders, trainers, and others in the horse world have over bitting a horse with a freezing cold bit. And they’re serious about it. Cold bits can cause discomfort, pain, soft-tissue damage, and related training problems. Preserving a horse’s sensitive mouth, preventing bridling/training problems, and avoiding head-shyness by warming a freezing cold bit before asking your horse to accept it should be part of every rider’s grooming ritual. Bit Blanket™ does it easily and effectively. Find it online at BitBlanket.com.
Kerrits’ new Rain Shelter Barn Jacket is your first line of defense against the cold, wet, and windy days ahead. It’s the ideal companion for the roughriding, fast-striding cowgirl in all of us. The jacket is streamlined for a long, lean look; carefully cut to contour in an ergonomic, tailored equestrian style. Front pockets are sewn into the piped princess seaming to add to the jacket’s flattering lines. Two back zips open from waist to hip for extra room, or when fully closed they give a smooth and classic look to the jacket’s silhouette. And no worries if your favorite equine rubs up against you with his dusty, winter coat—dirt is cleverly camouflaged by the jacket’s plaids or the heathered texture of the solid shades!
