“A horse is like a grown woman’s Barbie.” ~ Anonymous. I cannot remember where I heard that from, but isn’t it fitting? So, maybe you never played with Barbies as a kid, but we all know Barbies have to have all the accessories. It is the same with horses. They get dressed up in ridiculous outfits. We make sure that our outfits match the saddle pads and maybe even leg wraps or boots (well, some people do). Here is a list of 5 things that your horse probably doesn’t need, but you will want!

Peppermint Bit Wipes

Raise your hand if you are guilty of having a dirty bit (me too). Raise your hand if you feel even slightly bad about putting a piece of metal in your horse’s mouth (me too). These wipes don’t solve those problems, but they definitely help! They’ll motivate you to keep those bits a little cleaner and maybe motivate your horse to want to take the bit more!

Marigold Coat Spray

This spray is supposed to condition and protect your horses coat from sun bleaching. I have purchased this spray many times, but it really isn’t for either of those reasons. This is the best smelling horse spray I have ever used. It is refreshing and has a slight perfume smell that is not too overbearing. If you want the best smelling pony in the barn, this is your spray! Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/3kmQXq8

Mrs. Pasture’s Horse Cookies

Okay, this is something your horse will actually want. Who doesn’t enjoy pampering your horse with some special treats? I have yet to meet a horse that doesn’t like Mrs. Pasture’s Horse Cookies. Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/2IxcZcs

Massage Grooming Mitt

This two-in-one massage mitt is great for shedding season and before you ride. There are “magnetic therapy balls” in the mitt. I don’t know about magnetic therapy, but it does provide a good massage for your horse before you ride. These work especially great for horses that have a lot of tension in their necks, back and topline. Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/3lvdpyu

Rubber Face Curry

Sometimes our regular curries are just too rough for our horse’s face, especially if you have a sensitive horse. These little curries have tiny bristles to help gently pull off gunk from around the ears, eyes, and boney parts of the face. Your horse will thank you! Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/2JUYBvd
